AIBU to be extremely pissed off at this family 'friend' and her MLM?

I'm so angry at a message I just received but my pregnancy hormones could be affecting my judgment.
Quick background, I'm 22 weeks pregnant and have slipped a disk meaning I'm on bed rest until my baby can be delivered by c section at 34 weeks. On top of that I have a 3 yo and 15 mo and my husband works long hours as a chef so is out of the house day time and evening. Family memevers have dropped Every thing to look after my children as I can't do anything off them or be left alone with them as I can't pick them up etc. This has been going on for 4 weeks now and it's obviously bringing me down as I can't look after my children and I'm wishing my pregnancy away because I want to get better (I will have my back operated on as soon as the baby is born and i should be back to normal after 4 ish weeks).
Any way today I received a message from a family friend who does Forever living. She hasn't contacted me since this whole thing started. The message says "Hi I hope you are feeling better. If you are bored I could come and do my forever buisness presentation for you".
That was it, AIBU to what to scream? I haven't replied as I don't want to get into an argument.

Yabu.
If you rubbed on a bit of aloe you'd probably be instantly cured.
And the prospect of running your own business, working hours that suit YOU and turning your passion into pounds should be motivation enough to get you out of bed.

Or alternatively 'no thanks. I'm watching paint dry this afternoon. It's preferable.'

When I get messages like this (usually from ex). I say - was this message meant for me?

It does a 180 because they have to then quantify what they're asking and why they're asking it.

punkpuffin · 25/05/2017 10:39

Thanks for the advice. I still haven't replied and this morning I got a message that just said "punkpuffin?"
I still haven't replied, I really can't be bothered with it at the moment.

she sounds like she wants someone to practice on - maybe trade her say you will listen to it for a free foot massage and facial - lol

The products are nice, but completely overpriced and it can be a pressured sell but just say no

KinkyAfro · 25/05/2017 11:45

Yes bit it would nice if she just wanted to come and see op, not just coming to push her shite on her.

Just say you can come round but you're not interested in her presentation so not to bother with that

Willow2017 · 25/05/2017 11:45

Just goes to show how low some of these bots will stoop to to get someone signed up. You are the perfect captive audience Punk.
Txt her "Oh you really meant it? I thought you were joking. "#not a freaking chance"

Have you replied Hun? Wink

Greyponcho · 26/05/2017 09:27

Have you replied Hun?

Of course she hasn't. Hmm
She's been making plans to run for the hills away from all the MLM aloe-crap toting bots, their #positivity #chanceinalifetime to be her own bot #boss obviously . Wink
that's what I'd be doing if there was ever a way of escaping them Grin

punkpuffin · 26/05/2017 13:18

No I haven't replied. I canr be bothered with the drama so I'm just pretending I haven't seen the messages. Even though I was in fb Messanger so it will be marked as read.

Ask her if it involves a free massage with the product...

QueenArseClangers · 26/05/2017 13:36

Talk about a captive audience!
You poor love, I've had awful spine issues and coping in pregnancy is horrendous.
If you were my mate I'd be coming round to do laundry/housework/cooking not being a snake oil peddling twat Flowers

Aridane · 26/05/2017 13:36

What is 'MLM'??

Dianneabbottsmathsteacher · 26/05/2017 13:41

Fish Flowers

Op just text back 'fuck off to the far end of fuck and when you get there fuck off some more'

That should do it.

Totally sympathy for your plight how bloody frustrating and painful

TheHodgeoftheHedge · 26/05/2017 13:54

I would just reply with this

BSintolerant · 26/05/2017 15:07

Tell her you'd rather listen to paint dry ... and point her in the direction of Timeless Vie. Grin

When will these bots learn?
