My humble apologies for even thinking you were Yawn or any other bot @Tizzlebizzle it's quite a slur to have been called that so an apology of the highest order is needed here.

In my experience I see so many complaints from parents about eczema and aloe vera, it doesn't appear to be well tolerated and i've seen many posts about it making it worse.

I hope your child's eczema is under control now. In the past I tried literally everything, even added Rooibos tea bags to bath water out of desperation. Now on immunosuppressants and high strength steroid creams.

It is disgusting preying on parents with a child with eczema especially when you find a cream and it works for a bit then stops working and you are on the next. Always on the lookout for the next cream that will most definitely work this time.

Dermovate and Epaderm cream is now what he uses. He also has Autism and when it's really bad I have to do the Dermovate. At times his skin has been so bad that applying the Dermovate makes him scream in pain. Immunosuppressants have helped a lot though.

My son is 16 so they are more willing to try stronger things now, but it's such a horrible condition that it is so easy to prey on mum's whose children have it. It's morally the wrong thing to do, but we are talking about bots.

I agree @Norma27 A nice person doesn't have to state they are a nice person, others know this by their actions, which nice people don't tend to blast all over the internet to make themselves look good.

All Yawn has ever done is scam people and make others feel bad about themselves. Bragging about her wealth, her home, and all of her material wealth while those in her downline are struggling, some will likely be going to foodbanks to help feed their children.

White her posts are getting more desperate by the day now. She will have all the time freedom she wants when forever finally collapses in the uk!

Tizzlebizzle · 21/05/2018 16:55

@whiterangey no problem at all! My daughter's eczema seems to be pretty well controlled now with Oilatum esp in the bath, diprobase and steroid cream if gets bad - all free on our wonderful NHS.

The medical claims from FL sicken me as they do take advantage of the desperation you feel to try every possible solution. But it costs a fortune and is unproven.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 21/05/2018 17:27

Even that last 'spontaneous happy freedom post' by Yawn is so staged. "Hold the key by the end, otherwise no one will know we drive a leased TT!"

Whiterangey · 21/05/2018 17:31

Yawn is shitting herself.

Notice she has financial and stress next to each other, I initially read it as financial stress. Stress must be the word she equates with financial at the moment.

There is absolutely no way she is not hurting financially. She planned financially for the income she had, and I imagine also planned for that to increase year on year until she was earning Uber money.

Whiterangey · 21/05/2018 17:40

@Tizzlebizzle just make sure if her eczema worsens and at any point you feel it is unable to be controlled via the GP, push for a dermatologist appointment. They have the power to prescribe the stronger steroids that a GP is reluctant to do.

We have been very lucky with his GP who will prescribe what we ask for as they have been prescribed before by the hospital. Doesn't mind the many emergency appointments we book either. We just show up, the GP checks for infection and then is happy to prescribe the dermovate which is the only thing that works.

I've cried my eyes out over the pain my son has been in before, eczema is horrible.

@Whiterangey - By Uber money, you mean the zero-hours, sub-minimum wage earned by drivers of that cab-hailing app.?

Whiterangey · 21/05/2018 18:03

@Twentytwentyhindsight I meant Uber bot money, but give it a year or two and both Uber bot and Uber drivers will be earning the same.

SoftlyCatchyMonkey1 · 21/05/2018 21:50

Uber is more ethical.
I mean the cab company.

Paddy1234 · 21/05/2018 22:33

So they are at Head Office and 120 new business owners are being trained. However there are not 120 in the room by any stretch of the imagination - they have also added to those numbers the ones that have logged in online #manipulating the numbers.

Paddy1234 · 21/05/2018 22:37

Uber states how great it is doing this training again as that is what they did when they started 13 years ago 😂 - going back to the beginning as that's the size of your sales figures again. What a wake up call - she never expected to have to do that again

Paddy1234 · 21/05/2018 22:39

Those new business owners are going to ge jumping ship soon when they realise what they hear it has already been flogged to death

Whiterangey · 21/05/2018 23:11

Turnover is happening more rapidly. I've noticed bots that were new bots in February who seem to have left.

Norfolk Bot appears to not have sold anything and her facebook page is cringeworthy. Lots of posts and no interaction with any of them.

2 weeks ago Norfolk Bot posted something asking that whoever wanted to book a pamper evening or a 121 with her to like the post with the smiley thingy. Nobody did.

Since the first post she has shared it 4 times on different days so it will pop up in others timelines, absolutely nothing, nothing at all.

It's heartbreaking. You can sense the desperation, and it is upsetting.

She is probably very embarrased as well, likely gone and told every single person she knows, and some she doesn't, that she is going to be rich and a successful business woman and that forever living is the best thing EVER. I hope she hasn't lost too much money, I hope she hasn't lost too many friends.

I'm hoping that very soon she will just quietly drop it all and carry on with her life.

Weirdly enough, this is exactly as we predicted it would happen, but we are haters so what would we know.

OP posts:
Paddy1234 · 21/05/2018 23:20

I am seeing many more posts on the lines of the need to support people finding there own way in business and not to put them down.

Well, I am not a hater. I empower woman. In my team of five, all of us are work from home woman with children, two of them have toddlers. But the difference is that they are all PAYE, all earn well above the national average, and we all work as part of a team. Each of us takes slack from the others when it just gets a bit too much. All bar one earns more than there respective partner who has to travel to work, no childcare and we work s really tight ship. That's empowering and supporting women!

cozietoesie · 21/05/2018 23:42

There are going to be some 'biggies' hurt in this, White. It was inevitable.

Of course, there are 'small fry' being hurt all the time at present. That's inevitable also - just not as visible.

Whiterangey · 22/05/2018 09:46

It just sucks.

I've zero problems with the 'biggies' being hurt, they made their bed etc.

I still can't get my head round how they can do this to people, it is so cruel. I know bots do their best to recruit at all levels, but the ones lower down truly believe they are doing a good thing and that they, and their downline if they can manage to get one, will one day be rich and happy and all the good stuff.

The top bots know, they know what they are doing, it's really cruel.

Norma27 · 22/05/2018 10:27

Gutted I can see someone I vaguely know in a photo from the head office ‘training’. I knew she did forever living a while ago but was hoping she wouldn’t be now. She seems like such a lovely person too.
I agree white, couldn’t care less about those at the top. We are struggling for money currently and I know if I went to them they would take my last penny and see me homeless as long as it topped up their pots. Bloody vultures.
I know Uber would too even tho we were friends in a past life.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 22/05/2018 12:08

It has been well documented and discussed on here that bots in general have appalling spelling and grammar.

But what is it specifically with the word 'entrepreneur', which they use to define themselves?

Broke - entrepeneur
Roomie - entrapeneur
Wig - entrepenur

Is this evidence that even their autocorrects are refusing to take part in such a gross misuse of the term?

Ah I see yawn is passing of her collection of "goodies" for her customers at their head office, is that also for a couple of her drones as well. Bigger is better!

SoftlyCatchyMonkey1 · 22/05/2018 17:32

@dadandmum

Confirmed by one of the comments "thanks for grabbing mine"

Norma27 · 22/05/2018 18:01

I am still so naive I hadn’t realised was another fbo’s order! Ha ha.
Like another one on a post asking what some shitty do nothing tablets are for!

Whiterangey · 22/05/2018 18:08

@Norma27 My circumstances are something that one of them would jump on, they would love to recruit me and splash 'my why' all over their facebook.

Like with you, they would be more than happy to break our mental health, our finances, and our families, just for a CC or 2.

Sometimes fighting them feels like an uphill climb and that they are winning.

I know that many of the big bots, Uber, Castle, and Yawn for instance, will be broke in a year or two, houses needing to be sold, maybe bankrupt when they can't pay back money they owe from their directors loan accounts etc. Between now and then there will still be hundreds of people who are going to have their lives turned upside down by them under the false promise of having their own business and making money.

It's all so heartless and cruel, and I just cannot get my head round people being like that. Which I suppose is a good thing.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 22/05/2018 18:33

It takes totally selfish, almost psychopathic people to knowingly do what they do to others, and keep a smiling "my sole aim is to help others" demeanour about them.

It is also something the 'mindset' bollocks pushes, among other things - putting the "me" and "I can be/do what I want" above any other consideration, including the effect of your actions on others.
