Shameless.

Forever living is just some pyramid scheme selling crap over priced shit (throws bait to lurking reps)

Is it that Aloe Vera thing? I know a woman who works for them and is constantly trying to push the products.

The jumper the parcel contained turned up on neighbours line

Germgirl yes that was the most recent update I saw. Blatant!

I'd rather have Forever Living..

Our new neighbour has announced they want to pull down out boundary hedge including the "terrible" ivy so they can get up the driveway easier. I felt like telling them they could learn to drive better as a nicer alternative

Forever Living is Overpriced aloe Vera sold with very pushy sales tactics.

But actually, within 10 minutes I predict a new member with a name like 'mummyhappy101' will sign up and extol it's virtues whilst reminding us that it is NOT a pyramid scheme and that the products really do work.

I bloody hate Forever Living, the constant barrage of crap these people quote on FB to get you on board is fucking irritating. MOVE NOW!

DidoTheDodo · 08/04/2015 15:22

How have I missed the joys of Forever Living? Do I not know the right people?

monkeysaymoo · 08/04/2015 15:24

Dido you're fine we all just know they wrong people

Pandsala · 08/04/2015 15:24

it could be worse, my old neighbour introduced herself by knocking on the door to tell me I wasnt allowed to hang washing in the garden as it makes her dog bark and that my children mustn't play in the garden in case her dog eats them, also never to get a cat...

JemFinch · 08/04/2015 15:39

Well, at least you know to avoid them!

Alpaca & Needs
No!!!! Really?!!!!! Have you got a link? I'm amazed!
(Hence my overuse of exclamation marks)

You need to get onto that sharpish - post a letter through her door saying that this street is your Forever Living patch and tell her to back off immediately or else you'll set the hungry dogs on her.

Ha ha ha! My new neighbour was invited out by all the local ladies and proceeded to give everyone a run down of her naturalopathic geopathic homeopathic practice. She handed out business cards, then took over calculating the bill (he's was reduced cos she only has mineral waterHmm) and then ordered taxis so we were all home for 9:45. It was interesting to see social suicide taking place before our very eyes...

Longdistance · 08/04/2015 15:53

Gah. I had a friend wish me happy Easter via fb messaging, all she was after was my money for Forever Living products. If she messages me that crap again she's getting the chop.

It's a shame as she's actually a really nice woman. I wouldn't have put her down as someone that would get sucked into this.

KurriKurri · 08/04/2015 16:36

I don't know exactly what Forever Living is -but I am guessing it is something like Arbonne - which someone has been plaguing me (and other friends) about recently - way to lose friends !! Give her a wide berth !
