Lies, creative accounting and the Law of Reaction. Network marketers, we’re onto you - and so is the BBC:

Yup, Yawn has gotten even bigger.

Photos she puts on Facebook are carefully angled and chosen to make her size less obvious. You can tell she hasn't lost any weight on her own photos as no visible collar bones.

Why put so much energy into making out you are slimmer? People who see her in the flesh will see her size anyway.

Not that it matters as she can't escape that it is her body. She needs to love her body and be proud of it not treat it like a dirty secret.

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 22/06/2019 19:55

Let's not ignore Mr Yawn.

For all the time the pair supposedly spend at the gym neither of them are looking svelte!

SCM79 · 22/06/2019 20:13

Any thoughts on limelife?

Spongebobette · 22/06/2019 21:52

Does anyone know why Yawn and hubby were on stage being ‘recognised’?

Spongebobette · 22/06/2019 21:53

Limelife is an MLM and a bad one

gotmychocolateimgood · 22/06/2019 21:55

All the FL bots I know are overweight. Not a great advert!

SCM79 · 22/06/2019 22:23

The FL bits are all full of utter crap. Posting about it being best Success Day ever. Hmm. Seems to be some LimeLife thing today too.

SnoogyWoo · 22/06/2019 23:17

Think they were getting awarded the car plan again.

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 22/06/2019 23:27

According to one minion photo they were wearing Soaring Eagle Manager sashes.
They have to have three Eagle managers in their downline and I'm pretty sure they don't.
What's happened there then?!

BSintolerant · 23/06/2019 00:53

Perhaps Yawn and Mr Yawn are wearing sashes to invoke the Law of Attraction?

Or, has Yawn been promoted to Soaring Ego status to keep her sweet and to compensate for not getting a cheque?

I want to know what was in Mr Yawn’s unfortunately placed bag ... the mind boggles!

BSintolerant I think you are right about Yawn, she has been promoted and sent to Bali as compensation for no cheque and possibly knowing something incriminating about the inner circle. Plus she's pretty bolshy. If other bots above her have dropped like flies perhaps she's filling their shoes?
It doesn't mean she's earning any more or being any more successful, as we all know!

Whiterangey · 23/06/2019 02:50

The new success days will be different. Instead of the bog standard stage and everyone focuses on that stage there will be different quadrants.

So in one you might have training on how to get the chairman's bonus, in another product training, in another eagle manager training and in the other how to be a twat.

Recognition will still be done but will be done differently.

The new success days will encompass those trainings you normally have to go to separately and pay more for.

Book your tickets now as it will sell out.

Obviously all the separate events they have been doing for years aren't getting enough people attending to make it worthwhile so they are going to stick them all in together.

If you look back only 3 years the success days had thousands attending.

Times are tough.

Yawn's BFF has a bot in her downline who is a prominent member of Networking mummies in our county.
She has just launched a Go Fund Me to get goody bags for parents who have babies in SCBU or suffering from PND.
Apparently 'These bags will contain products that are beneficial for both the parents and baby.
The products will help the parents and baby bond and feel better.'
Now I might be wrong, but I can't help feeling those gift bags will be full of FLP products. It isn't for profit, but we all know how the CC game works....

RelativePitch · 23/06/2019 07:50

No I'm not wrong. Just seen a video of her promoting the bag. It is filled with FLP products. Is this a new low?

Jigsawpuzzle · 23/06/2019 08:18

It was a rather subdued event, as they were no longer orgasmic about going on stage. Yawn and Castle very quiet.
Did I see promotion bot (hobgate) nothing on fb ?
On another note PHD-wardrobe
Twinbot can no longer find her fb page.

BSintolerant · 23/06/2019 08:53

RelativePitch are you saying that a bot has set up a Go Fund Me page to get unsuspecting folk to pay for Forever Living products which will then be given to vulnerable women and babies? That is indeed a new low. I wonder how much of the money she raises will go straight into her bank account? We all know how much stock bots have in their garages so she might not have to buy any new stuff ...

If bots want to support charitable causes why don’t they just forget about CCs and donate hard cash?

I wonder if the charities in question are aware of how these ghastly schemes prey on vulnerable people?

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 23/06/2019 11:37

Anyone who has the link can report the page, it would be worth doing.

Whiterangey · 23/06/2019 12:03

I'm fortunate not to know anything about babies in the scbu, I'm going to guess that you don't put anything on or in the baby unless directed to do so by a medical professional.

I know from friends that they do everything to promote the bond between mum and baby with as much skin to skin as is possible.

I breastfed all of my children for at least 2 years each. I haven't breastfed for years but I still don't use anything on my body that has a fragrance. No perfume, nothing. You don't want to give your baby a face full of perfume while holding them close, or get them covered with a lotion that may not be suitable for their delicate skin.

I can't think of anything that forever sells that would be suitable for a new mum and a poorly baby.

If the mum is giving the baby breast milk, either from the breast or via pumping then you don't want to be taking anything that a medical professional hasn't okayed.

Though if you've just given birth you won't be skinny so really you should be doing a C9 by day 5 after the baby is born.

RelativePitch · 23/06/2019 12:40

So according to her video on the Go Fund Me page she is partnering directly with SCBU at our county hospital, a charity called By your Side-PND, another charity called CALMS? Premature baby support. The bag costs £20 to sponsor and there are 4 products Aloe Vera Jelly, Propolis, lip balm, hand sanitizer and a copy of Aloe Life Magazine. Words fail me.

RelativePitch · 23/06/2019 12:41

She's raised £110 so far after 9 days. Goal is £10k.

MontanaSkies · 23/06/2019 13:12

Well done to whoever keeps asking PhD awkward questions on her Instagram posts! Makes a refreshing change from all the fawning "you look gorgeous hun" inanitites.

She is yet to respond though...

Whiterangey · 23/06/2019 13:30

Just watched the video. Well some of it. Way to use a photo of a poorly noob to try and get some cc's. And getting the now healthy child to make an appearance.

What is the lowest you can donate to a GoFundMe? Donate 50p and post a scathing comment warning others?

gotmychocolateimgood · 23/06/2019 13:30

I'm not in insta - what kind of questions? 😁

RelativePitch · 23/06/2019 13:45

@Whiterangey I dare you! This is targeting of women when they are at their most vulnerable. It is so predatory. I've never read Aloe Life, but I bet it promotes the business.

Spongebobette · 23/06/2019 14:54

PhD bot is getting precious little engagement on her Insta
