I second the comment about the lotion. It has done wonders for Samantha's excema!

Anyway, I have also been doing Avon since I had Sam. Great for a little bit of pocket money, but as with you most people around me have a rep so I am mostly dealing with family & friends.
The other option once your baby arrives is Homecare catalogues. You just go for a walk with the baby in the pushchair and deliver catalogues and then pick them up a few days later. The commission on sales is quite good (30%) and I always do quite well out of this. I maybe spend 2-3 hours a week walking and usually come away with $300-400 worth of orders which means $100-$125 for me.
I should add that up until a few weeks ago sam usually slept through my wandering around delivering these!

I am also the mum of a special needs child and we are always needing respite.

The govt pays $75 per day, and as said before this is tax free.

Can be hard work though, but very rewarding.

tupperware is good..(my friend sells it)butt he stuff is expensive ... you would have to get a good client base..i sell avon but only to mum and a few others..seems everyone else already has s a dealer.. and we have a homecare lady around here.. as far as respite care i may look into that after he is born..as I did enjoy it last time.
