The maternity hospital waiting room, AIBU to find this absolutely disgusting? She came and sat next to me grinning and asking me questions about if I had any other kids and if I worked and I saw the brochure hanging out of her bag and went to the toilet, came back and she cornered another woman and had the brochures out showing Her. What is this company doing to people?

Definitely. I used to have very good beauty therapist who did excellent HD brows. I ditched her when she became an Arbonne 'Arbot' and constantly banged on about how excellent they were, gave me samples of spot-inducing moisturiser and kept pushing for me to hold an Arbonne party...

The only way anyone makes any money out of these stupid pyramid schemes is by hustling eveyrone they know to sign up, and generally after a few months the poor sods have lost most of their friends who have all lost money on the scam. I did Kleeneze (useless) and Avon (OK but really only made pocket money at it) for a while but never recruited other people: I only took up those two because they are less pyramid-ish and with Avon you're actually seling reasonable goods at reasonable prices. These juices/woo pills etc are generally poor quality stuff as well as being overpriced.

Someone told me she had been approached and told that aloe could help her conceive a baby, she had to have IVF which worked for her but she could have saved all of the pain, the surgery and the drugs if she had just drank a shot of witches piss a day! Apparently lots of women with fertility issues have used it and conceived children very quickly!

What I don't understand is how they claim to spend so much time with their children, yet they are going here there and everywhere.

Product parties, planning meetings, stalls, so called inspirational training days, some of them are even holding down other jobs too! I just don't understand how they claim to have so much extra time for the children when they're often away doing something or other!

Bought myself an aleo vera plant for about £2 years ago. Regularly cut or break off a leaf and use gel inside on wounds etc. Plant keeps growing and is huge....

I'm waiting for someone from FL to turn up and tell us how wonderful it is!

Come on, don't disappoint us-

' I am looking for like minded mummies to join me in making ONE MILLION DOLLARS in forty minutes.'

I like the sound of that londonrach. i could start me own Aloe Farm.

windchime · 13/04/2015 17:33

All the school fairs I go to now have a FL rep trying to flog the crap. My daughter bought the lip balm and it was £3.95 for a bloody chapstick. Total bollocks.

Oh the detox thing made me laugh - my "friend" seemed to it about once a bloody monthConfused

DancingHat · 13/04/2015 18:51

Two of my FB friends recently got into it with one trying to recruit me. I've hidden both of them. Poor timing/perfect timing recruiting in a hospital.

i'd rather shit in my hands and clap than buy anything

I literally LOLed at this. You distracted me from the luscious Quinn on University Challenge, damn you.

Arsenic · 13/04/2015 20:37

I have one FL person on my FB

More can be arranged Perp

ShallICropMyHair · 13/04/2015 20:39

However, the only work she ever does seems to consist of skyping her 'team' to say how fab FL is, coupled by photos of powerpoint presentations saying stuff like 'Forever Living is nice'

It's all sounding rather relaxing, TBF

And it would be worth haranguing Perp just for her ripostes Grin

Ha! A Perp fanclub!

Arsenic · 13/04/2015 20:42

(What's the betting Quinn's another 20 year old?)

PreemptiveSalvageEngineer · 13/04/2015 20:45

Don't care, and do't even care that he's probably gay (and not doing very well tonight, darn), he's such a snappy dresser! And this is one of his more demure ensembles...

If there's a Perp fanclub, I demand that a pantless Richard Armitage joins

I've forwarded your invitation to his agent. Stand by.

I was shocked to find that a well-known softplay centre near us had a 'coffee morning' run by Forever Living (obvs for recruitment purposes). I will be boycotting said venue in future Hmm.
