Me and My Family

[see all me and my family]
my son has never grown out of playing dress ups

I have a 10yr old son David,from a previous relationship.  I was a single mother for 6yrs until I met my amazing husband Chris. 

It had to be fate, the way we met.  We went to the same highschool for about 6months but didnt meet, we had the same friends at different times but didnt meet, we even hung out at the same places but didnt meet, he even lived in the house directly behind me but we still didnt meet!  We actually met through work, I was the receptionist at a hotel and he was the linen delivery guy and one day he asked me out.  I found out he lived behind me when my grandmother said "I think that's Christian..... honey..... he's married!"  I thought "that would be right" I had a terrible history with picking losers so we devised a plan to let me know if it was the same guy. 

My grandma was going to answer the door when he came to pick me up and if it was the same guy she was going to say really loudly, so i could hear her up the hall "Oh hello Christian, nice to see you again"  So I was hiding in my bedroom and I heard the code words and my heart sunk as my temper soared.  I got in the car with him not really knowing what to do about it, so I just blurted it out, in a fashion that has been my trademark for yrs.  "So....." I said "I hear you come with a wife?"  He stumbled, blurted, and made some sounds that I wasnt even sure were human before he finally told me that, yes, he was married but they were broken up and living separately for the last 6months.  "PHEW!"  I thought!thank god ...

Comment Published at 03:4703:471 comments1 comments19 Visits19 VisitsReport

Hi there

The Steelers Club in Wollongong is proudly donating their lovely Eastern Terrace Room to Lorraine Lea Linen's "Party for kids with cancer" Fund.

Date : Tuesday 19th Aug

Time: 7pm for 7.30pm Start

All host credits AND consultant profits are going to be donated.  We are also donating a further $10 for every party booking we take on the night.

We even have a couple of special guest towel models, Justin Poore and Kirk Reynoldson from the Dragons!!!

Just a gold coin donation to get in and a healthy spending habit for gorgeous linen is all you need for the evening.  Bring your sisters, your mother and your friends to fill a table.  All hosts to book and fill a table of 10 will receive a 40% item on the night!  How good is that!

To Book your table now please call Dionne at the Steelers Club reception on 42272255 or email on dmccoullough@steelers.com.au or minti mail me for more details.

We will also take outside orders!  This means you can have a look on the website to see if there is anything that takes your fancy.  We can put it in with the fundraiser orders so it will count toward the donations.  All you have to do is email me with your order and I will sort it out for you.  Feel free to contact the club or Lorraine Lea Linen to check authenticity, my name is Dionne McCoullough.

work from home opportunity.

Comment Published at 04:1104:113 comments3 comments30 Visits30 VisitsReport

As I have mentioned in my previous blog I have recently become a Lorraine Lea Linen consultant.  I was sent an email from my area manager the other day saying we are seriously lacking in consultants in the following areas Campbelltown, Camden, Mt Annan, Bowral, Robertson, Corrimal, Fairy Meadow, Dapto, Gerringong, Kiama, St Georges Basin, Vincentia, Milton, Tabourie Lake, Batemans Bay (not sure of all the suburbs), Mourya, Bermagui.

Now, like I said, I have only just started so I have no real loyalties yet so I can be completely honest about my personal start up journey.

Your start up kit costs $590 but you only need $150 up front, the rest they take out of your profits as you do your parties.  You get stacks of stuff in your kit.  A single bed quilt, and quilt cover set.  A Euro Pillow and a standard pillow, heaps of stationary.  Sample pillow cases, A sheet set..... Heaps! 

You need 8 parties with in 4 weeks to start up.  This isnt hard.  I thought it would be but its not.  One of the other ladies didnt really have alot of friends so she took her catalogue to the local shopping mall and showed it to the girls working in the shops and scored heaps of parties!!

There is soooo much support within Lorraine Lea!  Its not just "Here's your kit now off you go" LIke it used to be.  I had a whole day "Kit up"  Where my manager showed my how to set up and how to sell how to do everything really.  I wont lie, there was a lot of work in the first few weeks getting started, It was a bit over whelming but now that I have my kit together and all my catalogues in order, I have 2 days a week where I spend half an hour making confirmation calls etc, 1 night a week where I update my catalogues (usually on the lounge with hubby after the kids go to bed) and then I have my parties.

I originally wanted to do 2 parties a week but I now cut myself off at 3.  It is really not hard to get the ongoing party bookings.  I have been making decent money too.  Its not great, and its not predictable but its "spare money"  Its great if you can live off what you are bringing in now but you dont have much savings or holiday money.  I wouldnt want to include it in a mortgage repayment or anything like that but it is good to have a little lying around for when your radiator blows up.  Last week I made $1000, this week I made $250?

I love it coz I work the days I want and Im home with the kids.  I spent 5 yrs travelling and moving with my husbands work so I was pretty much a 24/7 housewife and mother.  I had no life and no friends.  It was depressing.  So now we are back home I am trying to make up for lost time.  Its great to be out there socialising again.  Meeting new people and contacts. 

If you are interested at all, I can send you a 5 min dvd to watch and that will fill you in on some more details.  Just minti mail me.

Illawarra Girls.... I need you!!

Comment Published at 06:0906:093 comments3 comments27 Visits27 VisitsReport

Hi All

I have just joined up with Lorraine Lea Linen.  

To start up I need 8 parties under my belt within a 4 week period.  I have 5 locked in so I need 3 more.

If any of you lovely minti members is interested in hosting a party please let me know.  I need them locked in by this Monday so I can start having parties by mid July.

The website is listed below.  Go on and have a look at their stuff.  There is HEAPS more in the catalogue than there is on the website but even the stuff on the website is gorgeous.  I have a linen fetish so I will struggle not to spend all of my commissions every month.
