Friend and I were texting today and she asked if I fancied getting a takeaway tonight. So I said yes and she came over and I ordered online. She'd been on a transformational retreat recently and I knew she'd be telling me about what happened at that but she also told me that the woman who ran it and someone else had signed up to Utility Warehouse and were saving loads on their bills, and they'd told her all about it and she's going to do it too. She said you could make around £800 of savings. She was also going to be working for them herself on top of her day job, to make extra money. I wasn't sure if she'd fully signed up to it as she said she had a phone call tomorrow with this woman to discuss things but all her utilities have been moved over already. She was hinting about me speaking to this woman too but I thought no ffs it's the weekend and I want to relax. I said I would prefer to read up on things first before doing anything and hoped she'd leave it at that. I hate being put on the spot.
It all felt rather awkward after that and I felt like she'd only asked to meet up to try to lure me in. We see each other often anyway but I got the impression that she was trying to recruit friends and family for this too. She kept bringing the subject back to it. Going on about saving money etc.
After the food we watched a movie but I started googling the company and read lots of bad stuff about it and that it's basically a MLM. I have no interest in joining that kind of thing and it sounded like you might not make much savings anyway. Slow Internet etc too. I didn't mention it again after that and once the movie ended started making noises about being tired etc and she left soon after. If she says anything else about it I'll tell her what I read and that I'm not doing it. Hopefully that will be the end of it though. She's not a very pushy person so fingers crossed she took the hint. She's been talking about the woman's next retreat as well which I'm not really interested in but now I'm wondering if they're just trying to get new customers for UW!
