Busy is Good - Go Go Goa!

Spent the last week sorting, bagging up, delivering, collecting in brochures and putting in my next order. Condensing what I normally do in just over 2 weeks down to just under 1 week, on my largest order of the year. Reckon I've sold around £6,000 of Avon over the 3 Christmas brochures, (which is more than most sell over the whole year), and my total for the year should be approaching £23,000, which I've just realised is 25% up on last year. Eek! Thought I'd been working hard. But then again, I've not had a 'proper' job all this year. Really think I'm at the limit of how much I can sell, though I have said that for the last 2 years and increased again each time.

Had been too busy to think about playing poker and was still not really missing it, but made some time to play in the new month's PuntersLounge SportingOdds league. I enjoy these games, which are always accompanied by some lively banter and support from the PL'ers. I've done quite well in the past too, finishing in the money positions in the overall league. My only MTT win so far came in one of the games, followed by my biggest money win in the monthly freeroll I qualified for through the league. SportingOdds has recently started to move over to new software so this was the first time I had played on the Paradise linked site. Looks like I may like it, as I finished in 2nd place. Not bad for my first proper game in about 3 weeks.

My other half went one place better and won a freeroll MTT last weekend. The prize was a place in the Asian Poker Classic live tournament which will be played in Goa next March, with travel and accommodation for 2. Wheeeeeeeeeee. Well done Runadrum.

So don't call me in March.
