Hello Han,
Neat first entry. It made me smile.
One thing you need to fix with this entry is the first person stuff. It should be relatively easy. Guide entries need to be written in the third person.
You could, for instance, say:
'You hear the thud of something being delivered. It is the Betterware catalogue.'
And instead of 'me too', you could write 'thought not'.
Secondly, I'm not sure how well known Betterware iw outsidde the UK. Remember, there are researchers from as far afield as Alaska, Scandinavia and Australia. It might be as well to say something a bit more (maybe as a footnote) about the company.
However, these are just my thoughts. Others may have different ideas.

are betterware the ones who leave a catalogue there when you're not in then hound you with little notices because they want it back if you're not ordering but still persist in only coming round to collect it when youre not in?

Yes, they're the ones! I leave mine outside the front door on the day they want them (or earlier, if I don't want to forget). I think they used to leave them for about a week - these days, it's more like three days!
In my experience, they put a reminder through the door and if you're still not there (you might have gone on holiday), they leave it at that. By the time you get back, the catalogue is out of date anyway.

just a thought, but it could also benefit from some factual information on the company-- when it was founded, do they do anything else besides the catalog, etc.(perhaps in a footnote?)

and of course linking to their website at http://www.betterware.co.uk/ wouldn't hurt either.

It's still unchanged, and the Flea Market expiry period is coming up... on the 26th, which would be Monday.
Never having experienced Betterware, I can't say I care terribly...
