Good morning, everyone! Due to an economic downturn in our house (I lost my job yesterday), I'm going to be going through my stash of PC items I don't need and list them for you, my online cluster. (DH suggested that I sell them on the dreaded auction site, using his ID, but I said NO WAY!!)

Anyhoo, I have 2 of the 2006 trivets, the heart shaped ones, available.

$11.00 each plus shipping. Let me know whether you prefer Parcel or Priority and I'll get you a total.

I take PayPal, personal checks, or money orders (checks and MOs must clear before I ship).
 
Ann, I would love to buy one of the trivets from, unfortunetly (sp!) money is tight right now too! Sorry! Hope you find a new job or PC picks up and you don't have to find a new job.

Thanks. If I can get my show schedule to 12 shows a month, then DH says I don't have to look for a job.
 
Okay Ann, now is the time for you to join our 3-2-1 thread!

Sorry about losing your job!:cry: But sometimes, losing something means gaining something even better!

You can do 12 shows a month.....or even better, do 8 shows, but have a spectacular team who also are doing shows!

Thanks, Becky. I am choosing to view this as the kick in the patoot that I needed to get PC rocking. We're still deciding whether the kitchen project will be a go this year.

Sorry about your job Ann!! I'm trying to sell the extra stuff too, we're taking a trip & it's going to kill our budget...but we've already committed (bought the plane tickets) so no turning back now!! EEKK!! More shows for me too!!
 
Sorry about your job, Ann, but I think it's a blessing in disguise. I gleaned from past posts that you weren't too happy there. So, take this as the opportunity it is, stay strong and motivated, and I'm sure good things will come your way! Best wishes!

Thanks, everyone. I was really unhappy - I sort of fell into that job and have been at it for almost 10 years. The problem now is that I'm not going to be able to replace 100% of my salary at an entry-level in another field. Luckily, our monthly expenses are going down soon (finishing paying off the home equity loan from building the garage), so I don't have to replace my entire paycheck.

BTW - one trivet is set aside for Connie, but one is still available.
 
Hey Ann,

So sorry to hear about the job! If you've still got trivets, I'll take them. I'll give you a call later this evening.

HUGS!
 
I too am sorry to hear about your job Ann:(

Thanks, everyone. I'm always amazed at the real sense of community around here and how everyone really cares. :)
I'll set aside the 1 trivet for you, Linda. Which means they've both been claimed!
 
I too have to replace my FT income with PC (I"m a new mommie) and so I've been doing 5-2-1, and right now I have 5 showes during double point time, and let me tell you, I've NEVER had more than 1 show per 2 month period, barely staying active.

Tonight is my 1st show during double points time and I'm so excited. I set of "small" goal of earning $350 a month = 4 shows, and told my director about it, and she passed a show onto me (#5), that she can't do. So if you aren't in weekly contact with your upline, they might be able to help you with HO leads, or shows that they can't do.

If the other one is still available I would llike to purchase. I won't be online til tonight-but please if availbe save it for me!!!

Thanks
christina
