Can you imagine the atmosphere when yawn and roomie see other? Would love to be a fly on the wall!

It's the first cheque day tomorrow. It will be interesting to see how many UK bots there are.

Really interested in Saturday and the size of castles cheque. She is keeping such a low profile that I don't think is going to be as much as last year. Under and Bloodsucker will be fine with cheques even if they are reduced as they will still be an impressive amount.

Of course it is still possible Yawn may get a cheque although unlikely. I think bff is getting one.

Tax bill bot said in her insolvency thing that she was expecting a bonus of £10k in April time so that might be roughly what she gets. I wonder if HRMC will find it if she gets more and will take it. She is also paying them £500 a month.

Eeeeeeeek! One more sleep- sooo excited!!!!

Paddy1234 · 09/05/2019 07:56

Roomie and Yawn surely cannot miss each other 😂 being such a small number of UK bots there

SnoogyWoo · 09/05/2019 08:08

What happened with Roomie and Yawn?

I don’t know who Roomie is.

Norma27 · 09/05/2019 08:13

When nurse and other lowly bots see yawn etc do not have cheques this year, will they start to see the lies? Or is the brainwashing so complete that they are just totally incapable of seeing the truth?

I think it is so hard to understand when you haven’t gone through it yourself and been completely brainwashed by these cults.

The Law of Reaction might mean that they pose for a photo together, faces in an awkward and painful rictus Grin

Norma27 · 09/05/2019 08:14

Snoopy- yawn took roomie as her plus one last year. It was hilarious as roomie posted pics and videos of yawn looking very bored in the rally, and an amazing pic in the gym which showed what she really looked like and not her airbrushed pics.
Looks like they haven’t spoken since they returned!

SnoogyWoo · 09/05/2019 08:33

Haha you have to love a loose cannon!

Just pondering how a reformed bot would come across during the interview process for a JOB... 'So I see from your CV that between 2014 and 2019 you were self employed.' '
That's right, I was an independent business owner for Forever Living'...
'Next candidate please!' Good luck Bruv.

Mr Castle has left a not great review of the house they stayed in and broke.

Whiterangey · 09/05/2019 09:18

Here is the review:

The house was nice and in a great peaceful location. However it was not the cleanest as you would expect, my family had to clean it notably the kitchen as it wasn’t great. The cinema room was not working as you could turn the tv on and only watch Apple TV of which you have to pay for everything and have an Apple account - no sky tv. The master suite is out of bounds so you just have access to 4 guest bedrooms. Fine unless you feel you are paying for the entire place. There is an amazon Alexa in the property which is great, however the owner ‘dropped in’ on it during the music being played which was obvious and I’m not sure why he did this as he didn’t have anything to say, I’m guessing he was just listening in but didn’t realise we were using it which interrupted the song, bit arkward. We did cause acccidental damage which we put right via Airbnb as per their policy but I understand it is not ideal for the owners, but didn’t warrant their reply to me even though we followed policy to put it right. All in all beautiful house but you don’t get all of it. Depends on your cleanliness standards if you don’t mind. Gym is great but tv in there does not work. Wouldn’t stay again

Whiterangey · 09/05/2019 09:23

It says on the listing that one of the rooms is out of bounds. I imagine they had to be asked to pay for the damage and tried to hide it. There was also a no events or parties stipulation on the listing which they ignored and did what they wanted. Not to mention disrespecting someone else's home by dancing on the worktops. Who knows what else they got up to. Their behaviour was disgraceful and they retaliate by leaving an unnecessary and untruthful reviw to get their own back.

CurlsandCurves · 09/05/2019 09:26

Wow, Mr Castle. Way to turn it all round on the owner. Yeah we broke stuff but we didn’t like the place anyway....

Jigsawpuzzle · 09/05/2019 09:45

The owners wouldn’t have them again and cost maybe an issue. Don’t know much about t&c on Airbnb as DD booked and they were excellent.
Off shopping later to stock up on popcorn 🍿 chocolate 🍫 and wine 🍷

Norma27 · 09/05/2019 09:45

Can the owner respond on air bnb to put their side?

9dartfinish2nd · 09/05/2019 09:51

The DSA (Direct Selling Association) are allegedly taking legal advice over the BBC documentary. I think they realise this programme is a hammer blow to their members.

I can’t see her review back. What does she say?

Spongebobette · 09/05/2019 10:04

I can't see a response from the owner?

Norma27 · 09/05/2019 10:05

Found it by clicking on his name.
What arseholes they are. They broke more than the Miele hob too.

Spongebobette · 09/05/2019 10:07

'Do not let these people stay in your property they have no consideration for someone’s home. They damage very expensive items which they are now refusing to pay for. they booked for 8 people but had a party of at less 16 partying broke toilet seat glasses and Miele induction hob by dancing on my worktop'

Spongebobette · 09/05/2019 10:08

in his response he does not deny having a party (which is specifically mentioned in the rental conditions as not allowed)

Paddy1234 · 09/05/2019 10:19

Castle and siblings and Welsh rarebit are beyond the pale with their sense of entitlement which comes with money.

Spongebobette · 09/05/2019 10:25

good lord, the new FL sunscreen is over 18 quid and the Supergreens is over 37 quid

I buy really good sunscreen which is about £21 and it's top notch. I don't think this FL one can compete.

And, re the supergreens......you could just eat some vegetables? The pack contains a month's supply, so presumably bots are expected to ingest it every day along with their daily aloe.
At least it will help them spend enough CCs to stay 'active'
