I’d love to be a fly on the wall in Yawn’s house; I wonder how the conversations between her and her upline and her and her husband are.... are they actually aware of what’s happening?
Do they discuss whether they should throw in the towel?

Spongebobette · 06/10/2019 18:15

Or is it all
‘Let’s try this strategy again! Charity donations/ challenge the team to sell 100 lip balms/ another C9/ using aloe on animals/ product reviews/ do a live!’

Whiterangey · 06/10/2019 19:01

It's a bit worrying she needs something to take her mind off drinking when it's just going without for a few days at this point.

Something that would require no thought for most people.

BSintolerant · 06/10/2019 19:47

If she gets withdrawal symptoms no doubt she’ll be telling us that Forever Fibbing has a miracle cure.

willdoitinaminute · 06/10/2019 20:18

I was also thinking the same Whiterangey.

RogueApostrophe · 07/10/2019 09:21

I think Yawn is just bigging up the sobriety for content. More worrying is her post about the new recruit and the "pure profit" even though it's not pure profit as they've stumped up £199 for the kit so they're still in minus money.

Whiterangey · 07/10/2019 09:56

I don't think she is, I certainly wouldn't post anything on my Facebook page that may indicate a struggle to give up alcohol for a short while. It's different when people go out and don't drink, it's tough to be the only person not drinking when out, but at home it shouldn't be a problem.

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 07/10/2019 13:04

The problem with Yawn and so many of these bots is that they don't actually do anything. Nip to the gym periodically, go out for a meal very periodically, that's it. No hobbies, no friends outside of their MLM, family often conspicuous by its absence. The most interesting thing they have to put on social media is how much water they've drunk in an evening. It's tragic really.

spanfan · 07/10/2019 13:30

Yawn's Argi as is ridiculous. No calories but gives you energy to work out??? Eh??

And £5 a pop. Ffs.

Bottle of water and a banana would do the same. 50p max, if you use a water fountain. 😂😂😂

Whiterangey · 07/10/2019 13:31

That's true, and it's also not real friendships. Everything has to be going well for you 100% of the time. No phoning a friend and getting words of comfort because things have gone a bit wrong.

Your money situation is a bit tight so you talk about it with a friend, nothing they can do but listen and make you feel better. Everything has to be positive 100% of the time, and given all their friends are MLM they can't show that they are struggling in any area of their life at all. Just imagining not being able to confide in a friend when things suck, that isn't good for you. Yawn can't show that anything is less than perfect when it's all crumbling around her.

Allmyarseandpeggymartin · 07/10/2019 14:56

Yawn going everywhere in her gym kit, after the gym “living the brand” honestly she must stink.

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 07/10/2019 15:42

But how much of the gym kit lifestyle is actually true. Does it happen?

I could take pictures of me in my gym kit in the morning but actually spend the rest of the day lying on the sofa, eating cakes and watching back to back episodes of Border Control.

In fact I've got a day off tomorrow so I might well do that Grin

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 07/10/2019 15:45

Also, who would bother with the full face of slap, false eyelashes and painted on brows if you're going to build up a sweat at the gym??

Whoever the two people are that have commented on Nurses business page Jo Malone post, then I salute them....brilliant posting and puts the ridiculous nonsense they spout completely in place. I'm actually astounded that Nurse as a nurse can bring herself to post such rubbish

Jonsey32 · 07/10/2019 17:54

ticktock19
That’s pretty much why I posted. She’s a nurse for god sake. Surely it’s against her ethical code of something like that?!

Norma27 · 07/10/2019 17:57

That post is awful. I have known people 'succumb' to cancer and they were determined they were going to beat it and see their kids grow up. Unfortunately their mindset and wants did not allow that to happen.

Norma27 · 07/10/2019 17:58

I meant despite their mindset and wants they still died.

acatcalledjohn · 07/10/2019 18:06

Bloody hell. I'm glad I don't live in an area where she could end up nursing me.

The article shared by one of the posters mentions that Jo was one of the first women to have chemo every 5 days. Pioneering treatment saved her.

If mindset cured cancer then why even bother with chemo and radiotherapy?

Righty-ho.

ticktock19 · 07/10/2019 18:21

@acatcalledjohn @Norma27 @Jonsey32 - exactly my thoughts. Nurse really should be ashamed of herself

Whiterangey · 07/10/2019 18:23

A lot of people when diagnosed with cancer just give up and that is why they die, is basically what Nurse is saying. My Dad just gave up, oh no wait, he fought for 3 years and took part in clinical trials as there was nothing left for them to try. He didn't fail, he didn't give up, the treatments didn't work which is why I support research so boffins can find treatments that do work so others don't lose their Dad's.

With breast cancer they still don't know exactly why some women end up with stage 4 and some don't.

Which sucks. More awareness and research needs to go into stage 4 as well.

There is also no conclusive evidence that anything in deodorants contribute to breast cancer.

I don't care i it's something you've 'only' shared, read the crap you are going to post before you post it to make sure it's not bullshit.

Whiterangey · 07/10/2019 18:47

For some stupid reason I joined a cancer group on facebook that deals with natural cures and not conventional cures. Morbid curiousity I guess, saw it mentioned on another group i'm in.

Can you guess what happens to those who refuse the chemo/radiation/surgery that trained doctors tell them they need for their cancer?

They try positive thoughts, meditations, cannabis, CBD oil, essential oils, a hell of a lot of tumeric, fasts, vegan diets, and a lot of other stuff. They still die. I left the group because watching people die from stupidity is not my thing and was very heartbreaking, don't care if they are being stupid, they still don't deserve to die. It was like an echo chamber in there.

So based on my limited research, it doesn't matter what you do, without chemo/radiation/surgery or whatever fancy medication they have, you aren't going to survive. You may not survive with it, but it's your best chance.

CodenameVillanelle · 07/10/2019 18:51

Ew at the idea of going to the gym then wearing your sweaty gym kit all day to business meetings and the pub! Wtf??

Spongebobette · 07/10/2019 19:02

Has Nurse deleted that post?

Gotmychocolateimgood · 07/10/2019 19:06

I think she must have deleted it. Are you reading, Nurse? Please pop on and say hello if you're there!
