You can set up alerts from Companies House for when companies any updates. 😉

Twentytwentyhindsight · 25/09/2019 23:41

Done, @JaniceBattersby - thanks! Although, strangely, I think will miss the daily check that has become embedded in my daily routine (I think it's the anticipation each time I do)...

I thought Castle only renovated a couple of years ago. So wasteful.

fromdownwest · 26/09/2019 09:50

@gotmychocolateimgood - She did, and trust me this one cost a few quid, the freezer alone is around £3k!

Norma27 · 26/09/2019 15:16

Yawn still finds it weird to think of herself as a global business woman. That's because you aren't one.

My OH described herself as such, because some sleazy stalker in the US who'd latched onto her open FB profile would buy the occasional bottle of gloop to keep the engagement going. Her mum, who lives abroad, also made the occasional pity purchase.

The thing about the US sales, she'd receive a cheque in USD for each purchase, that would have cost more to cash than they were worth. Still, worth it if you can boast of your growing stateside biznis...

JackDelaney · 26/09/2019 16:55

With FL offering greater incentives for recruitment, Valentus directly paying reps to recruit and still getting approved into the DSA. I wonder what MLM company will be next to modify their comp plans to incentivise their reps to recruit more and increase money coming into their pyramids from within.

With no sign of any legitimate authorities or regulators to question any MLM company, can we safely say that MLM has got to the point where literally anything goes?

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 26/09/2019 17:11

I see Yawn is trotting out the background story about working for the police again rather than the ex-childminder one.

It seems to alternate, she never mentions both in the same post. Strange. Hmm

The bar/restaurant work and "folding towels" are new additions aren't they?

Twentytwentyhindsight · 26/09/2019 17:38

I think it depends on the background of her next intended victim(s).

It's either "I was a skint, unconfident childminder with no qualifications, look at how joining FLP has turned my life around", or "I was a professional, doing well, but I felt I had no quality time with my family. FLP has enabled me to maintain an affluent lifestyle, while being able to be there for my family"...

Twentytwentyhindsight · 26/09/2019 17:40

@JackDelaney - it would appear so. Even blatant 'pure' Ponzis with no fig leaf 'product' thrown in appear to be escaping any scrutiny from enforcement agencies.

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 26/09/2019 17:44

Salon is pushing Valentus big time. Lots of hollow-eyed lives and 'omg I'm in tears'.
For the record, I have never cried when one of my team got promoted.

Whiterangey · 26/09/2019 20:19

They are targeting Macmillan coffee mornings.

Sis did one this morning, forever facial shite prominent among the tasty coffee morning treats that are laid out in her facebook photos.

Yawn went to one, I believe another prominent forever bot did one, they are all pieces of crap so can't remember which.

"Let's try and scam women with a charity coffee morning!"

Just when you think they cannot get any lower, they manager to dig deep and exceed all expectations.

fromdownwest · 26/09/2019 20:44

@whiterangey - A real scummy move, can you imagine any other business doing a sales pitch at a bloody charity coffee morning!

Instead of paying £28 for a tube of snake oil, why not let that person pay Macmillan directly.

They really and truly are unbelievable.

JasperRising · 26/09/2019 21:19

Not sure if it is lower than those campaigns to get people to donate packs to give out in hospices...

Twentytwentyhindsight · 26/09/2019 22:02

They have already stooped to such depths that they cannot go any lower. They are just bumping along the bottom.

She’s awful. Being a businesswoman is more than taking wide eyed selfies and acting like mum of the sodding year and going on about muh depression.

That hotel room looks incredibly ordinary, I don’t know how that’s supposed to be impressive at all. Also £30 off what exactly? The rack rate? No one ever pays rack rate.
Travel agent my actual arse. After this week in the industry even my 20+ years in retail and as a supplier to the trade even I'm pressed from trying to get my head around the legalities of the TC collapse.

Norma27 · 27/09/2019 07:54

Laughing at yawn's 5 months to manager. Can't wait to see how many promotions there are in her team March/April time now!

Please can I have a hint for bacon bot? I thought I knew of two but neither seem to be her.😁

Thx

Whiterangey · 27/09/2019 08:56

I noticed Bacon Bots partner oversharing on addiction issues. It's great he's overcome his issues, but in public when there is a child involved is not a great idea, that should be a more friends and family thing.

The top forever bots are panicking and seeming increasingly desperate. I looked at Castle's BFF accounts and they are less than great.

I wonder how they are all doing this year with respects to next years Global Rally. Can anyone else feel the panic?

There are hardly any new managers, I saw a photo of one who was wearing a red manager sash at the recent success day, but it was in a group of other photos and there used to be so many new managers and it was an important part of the success days.

Bit sad that Yawn's team haven't yet realised that all of her training has only gotten them to the point where they will be managers in another 5 months, honest, cross my heart and hope to die.

fitgirl26 · 27/09/2019 11:07

Feeling a bit down so popped onto Wig's page to cheer me up. Had a chortle over her long self love post - how do her friends not realise she doesn't write this stuff - she copies and pastes off the Tiny Buddha page complete with American spellings! This one is even more obvious as she did write the first paragraph in her usual muddled syntax.
And yet she takes credit in the comments and passes it all off as her own writing!

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 27/09/2019 11:22

She's a hot mess. In the meantime Sleaze has celebrated his 41st (?!) birthday by telling everyone his mum does his washing for him.
Two huge global business leaders right there.
