Do I take the plunge again?

Seriously looking into Nutrimetics. I have signed up twice before. First time was when I was working full-time and really only signed up to get things cheap. Between myself and a couple of work colleagues I was able to do the minimum orders. When I changed jobs I was not able to continue as I lost my clients. Second time was when DD1 was not quite a year old, I had only started driving again and DH was not supportive. Also DD1 would not settle for him and all the workshops were way on the other side of city. To top it off I just could not get my first 2 parties off the ground, I had friends lined up, but they just did not happen.

Anyway, I have now moved to a smaller area and have come across a consultant who seems quite supportive. Whilst there are a few consultants, only about 2 are doing the parties, the rest are really just purchasing for themselves. DD1 is fine now with DH, plus he now works normal hours and we have 2 cars. So there is no issue with him looking after her of an evening or weekend. The main issue is with DD2 as she is still little, but I may be able to work around that. There have been changes to the benefits, more cash rather the gimmicks like picnic sets etc. Workshops are local, which is a huge help. They now have a online store that connects to your consultant ID, so friends and family in other areas can order via me. I do want to place an order, most of which is part of the start up kit, so there is no real finance loss if it does not work out.

Should I take the plunge again? Happy to have both your logical and gut responces.

I suppose asking around to test the waters may be a good idea. It's hard to tell, have you had trouble being a new chick from Melbourne/country town at all?

Mixed so far with people down here. Some people have been fantastically friendly, most are moderately friendly and there have been a couple that have just turned their back on me upon finding out that I am not a local. I suppose overall better than expected when I first moved down here. I think no matter where I am based there will be the odd group that will only deal with their own. I do understand what you are getting at, that there may be some, or a lot of resistance towards me due me not being "born and bred".

Well it sounds like there are more that are welcoming than not.......

so I will start with the disclaimer that I can be overly optimistic....
but
I think this could be a good way for you to meet other people in the area besides those in the "mothers club" it might be a good way for people to come into your life who might not have the chance otherwise.
& as you say you won't loose as you need the stuff anyway
JMO anyway, GL with what you decide

Well I asked the Universe to give me a sign. This morning I woke up with a red and itchy face, I had a facial yesterday. I have had it with a different brand before, first time with this one. Looks as though I do not deal well with mousterisers with SPF.
