So it’s the decrease in sales and people getting wise to the MLM racket that has resulted in the low cheque/no cheque scenarios.
I have noticed that they have pushed the happy families during school hols.
I hope they remember when they are older how they were used as chess pawns without consent.Life at school must be uncomfortable for them.

I’ve never heard of Scottish yoga bot! That’s a new one to me!...any clues?

DownThePan · 19/08/2019 17:41

@wehttam So many of the aloe bots seem to be permanently bunged up and sniffling like they always have a cold.

SaucySausageSandwiches · 19/08/2019 18:09

Googling Scotland yoga forever living will help!

Norma27 · 19/08/2019 18:12

I knew of Scottish yoga bot. Didn’t realise that was her tho.

Whiterangey · 19/08/2019 18:42

My Mum was a single mum. When I was about 7 she had the opportunity to go to Singapore for two weeks with work. I can remember her telling me about it. I can remember me crying about it.

It was a choice, more of a nice treat than part of her job. She didn't go.

During term time in primary I spent about 2 hours at a neighbours after school until my Mum was home. Her daughter was my best friend so it was fun. During school holidays we would go to a care scheme where you spent the whole day with other kids doing fun things all day long. Then i'd go home to my Mum and her full attention because she was finished with work and there were no distractions.

No team meetings, no phonecalls, just time with my Mum.

I never felt in the way or that she had something better to do, I never had to be quiet because she was working her business.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with parents working, it does not harm the children at all. I can't think of any time when I felt hard done by.

Also, secondary school during the school holidays, at home alone with no parent and friends round. That was nice, never did anything naughty, but it was nice to have friends over without feeling watched.

Thanks saucysausagesandwiches 👍🏻

Hi there fellow neg heads.

Been mulling over a few things lately and finally got the chance to post about them.

one covers the question... when does a hun cross the line from vulnerable to predator?

I think at the stage I'm talking about you can in a way be a bit of both but from experience... you know damn well what you're doing.

EXCELLENT blog! I’ve read all of it.

I just wish I could make the hunz read it!

Spongebobette · 20/08/2019 02:58

I’m not entirely sure that this is a proper poll. It needs a third option

‘No and I never want to’

😂 my cactus plant was the fucking bees knees of cactus plants!

https://hunzuncovered.wordpress.com/2019/08/19/deleteepersonality/

On a serious note well done for breaking free and even admitting you did the shitty things. I'm looking forward to reading more.

MLMhun · 20/08/2019 08:18

Hahaha excellent blog! Someone should send that to Nurse!

Any clues on mortgage bot, by the way?

Jonsey32 · 20/08/2019 09:11

I’m on PHD’s mailing list.
The email come through littered with swear words. Today’s were shit and crap!

If I put that on any work correspondence I’d be shot!
It’s totally unprofessional and she wants to charge top dollar for her input!!
Unbelievable!!

Jigsawpuzzle · 20/08/2019 09:16

As lying is a requisite of peddling an MLM how do they square the circle bringing up children.
When the bots have to find real J.O.B when it crashes, unless the employer is dodgy. I have worked for a short period in the PPI industry and they are sharks.
They also have to compete with the shiny new kids on the block leaving Education ( In some cases own offspring)

9dartfinish2nd · 20/08/2019 09:56

I reckon FLP figures could go as low as 2011/12 levels, which would be absolute carnage for the top bots.

FLP UK Turnover -

2011-£23,878,750

2012- £27,167,812

2013- £34,726,349

2014- £58,993,590

2015- £106,489,238

2016- £80,066,133

2017- £42,553,600

2018 - Accounts due 30th September 2019

DownThePan · 20/08/2019 10:04

Scottish Yoga Bot's accounts posted on 1st August don't look too healthy either

fromdownwest · 20/08/2019 10:29

@downthepan - Ouch, zero assets and a very substantial directors loan, with little or no method of repayment due to the failing MLM world.

2019 accounts will be interesting

leasedaudi · 20/08/2019 13:32

Hahaha @Jonsey32 I'm also on phd's mailing list. How kind of her to offer us an extended period to sign up for the shite she is peddling. 😂 .

Jigsawpuzzle · 20/08/2019 13:43

So what job did Yawn spend nearly £200 for uniform?
A recent previous post said she worked in a restaurant before MLM.
Looks like they are going to be lurking at the school gates for fresh meat.

leasedaudi · 20/08/2019 15:59

She used to be a police dispatcher answering emergency calls. But told everyone she was a childminder because it sounds more of a rags to riches story.

Spongebobette · 20/08/2019 19:45

Just looked back through my messages and it was early 2016 when my friend got involved in Forever Living, with Homeschool as her upline.

That was the boom time; when she shared photos of Success Day the Ricoh Arena was packed out and there were dozens and dozens of people walking across the stage being ‘recognised’

How times have changed!

Spongebobette · 20/08/2019 20:06

Oh dear why do downlines copy and paste posts from their upline, like Nurse has just done? It makes them look like proper bots.

Whiterangey · 20/08/2019 20:27

Nurse has put a video on her business page with lots of different uses for Aloe Vera.

The video consists of a woman making lots of different beauty and hair products with the gel from an actual aloe vera plant. You see her scrape the gel from the actual plant and use that in the recipes.

Given that an aloe vera plant isn't expensive which would make the recipes cheap to make, not the brightest idea to post that when you are trying to flog very expensive aloe crap.

Sforsh49 · 20/08/2019 21:17

I can guarantee, having personal experience, that Yawn did NOT spend £200 on uniform as a police dispatcher. It is definitely issued to you free of charge and you can even claim tax relief on washing it at home. Bet she can't claim that tax back now......

Whiterangey · 20/08/2019 22:20

Homeschool is going to be launching her own christmas store.

I wonder what it will be? When PHD moved to Doterra she said she was interested on a post, but nothing christmassy about Doterra. I can't imagine it's homemade products. I wonder if it's another MLM of some kind.
