Very easy for you to prove that you’ve been accepted on the basis of what you describe but just posting a screenshot

but you won’t will you?

Justapausereally · 11/03/2026 17:45

You’re a sports journalist and plan to write about it…. Well anyone on this thread who reads it, will know who you are

Until they land on my doorstep i do not hae a correct 'paper trail' or even evidence. But considering ive just had notification of dispatch.
One will see.

To all the abusive posters, its more than imteresting. Most reactions are not normal.
I really do think there is more going on in this industry than meets the eye.

You need to look in the mirror to see the person whose reactions are “not normal”

I hope you feel better soon.

A contributor is not a journalist. A sports therapist is not a health care professional and it’s not a protected title so anyone with any level of qualifications or none can set themselves up as one.

OP also mentioned have Botox every 6 months. So she’s a bit of a hypocrite really. She uses injections to look younger but she’s criticising people for using injections for their health.

Botox does not stop me achieving muscle mass or contribute to the decline of it.

Next...

How is being a sports therapist and contributing to online sports/ health/ news any different?

If id claimed to be a lollipop lady you might have had a point.

"Yesterday OP claimed to be a sports therapist so she’s very confused"

She doesn't appear to know about advanced search.

Do you work for Weightwatchers? There is nothing corrupt about getting medication online.
Are you going to take the meds after all that?

This is the biggest load of BS I’ve read in a while.

You must not be much of a reader then😀

I agree. she’s definitely not realised that we can see every post she’s ever made.

Summerbay23 · 11/03/2026 17:37

😂😂😂 to be fair - the OP is comedy gold. Must be a joy to see in real life.

It’s the bare minimum we can expect of a so-called journalist, is it not?

FreshInks · 11/03/2026 17:35

OP, how is having Botox every 6 months any different to the weight loss jabs?

Wow, a sports journalist and you work in the “health industry.” It’s a wonder you have the time to post on Mumsnet with two careers on the go.

I know the state of journalism has declined in recent years, but I didn’t realise they hired people who can’t even grasp the most basic of grammar and punctuation.

@Enyastar are you quite alright? You sound a bit wound up about this. For someone who is a journalist you sound a lot like an activist/campaigner.

Avantiagain · 11/03/2026 17:34

No emails. How odd.

Of course you are

If you’re doing some sort of expose on some dodgy WLI company, I really don’t understand why you’ve decided to come on Mumsnet first. Surely your greatest weapon is surprise… and fear. Fear and surprise… And efficiency: ruthless efficiency.

I’ll come in again.

O i and others have created the fear. But from what i can see the arrogance in these companies is now 'all consuming'. Give it 6 months....

I've just had my online consultation.
Yes i passed the threshold.
My jabs are 'in the post'.

Am i a sports journalist...yes i am.
Am i sending the video footage to both my local health authoriries and primary care provides..yes i am.
Do i hope this reaches national news outlets..o yes.

Looking forward to reading your story in the Daily Mail, Op.

SilenceInside · 11/03/2026 17:31

Of course there’s evidence. There’ll be order info on your online account with this pharmacy, showing the medication and the dose you ordered, as well as the (exorbitant) price you were charged.
