So odd for yawn to be rude.
I think I may need a lie down now.

Spongebobette · 17/11/2020 09:54

Do tell! Am blocked

Norma27 · 17/11/2020 10:05

For the blocked, yawn bought some baubles covered in pheasant feathers.
Someone must have called her out on this not being very vegan/veggie friendly.
Yawn calls her a karen etc. How dare she have a go at her supporting independent women. Her car has leather seats etc so there!

Spongebobette · 17/11/2020 10:40

Someone called her out for having a dead animal’s skin as a rug a while back - on Twitter I think - while she was on her ‘plant based’ thing
She was cross

CodenameVillanelle · 17/11/2020 10:50

Ugh
Apart from being gross which they are - how nouveau are those pheasant baubles? Grin

Norma27 · 17/11/2020 11:02

They are vile. She thinks you would pay £100 in Harrods for them. As if yawn buys anything in Harrods.
Neither do I, but I do not flaunt everything I buy on social media, or fake my lifestyle to con women out of their money.
That animal skin was hideous too. Looked much better on the animal yawn.

CompleteBarstool · 17/11/2020 11:50

Yawn's gone very quiet on the caravan front.

Did she ever do a big reveal of the finished project? (or did she realise that everyone was bored of it after endless posts about her painting everything in sight....Yawn indeed Grin )

No doubt it's sitting in their garden getting cold, damp and being used as a glorified shed.

BSintolerant · 17/11/2020 13:38

Did Yawn pluck those feathers out of her arse? That’s where most of her ideas originate from. Grin

Nurse is not only doing another C 9 she has another to giveaway- am sure that ended badly last time?!

fromdownwest · 17/11/2020 15:42

The Castle clan .... they have an online fund raiser selling Forever Living produce, PROFITS going to the fund raiser. They also have raised tens of thousands of pounds for the fund raiser.

Her latest story is her showing the plans for her sons ensuite and bedrooms design. She shows the plans and the pricing of fixtures only being over £5k!

I personally could not ask for people to donate their hard earner money in the current climate in one breath, and in the other show that I am spending thousands on a young childs bathroom. I don't get it.

That does not include the build, materials and paint! It also includes her full name, address and telephone number, and that of her interior designer, however GDPR was never their strong point.

Malin52 · 18/11/2020 08:00

Nurse has been trying to get rid of that C9 for 6 months. She tried to give it away but didn't get enough interest so canned it. She then thought if she couldn't give it away she could get people to buy it by running a dodgy raffle. No one went for that surprisingly so she's gone back to trying to give it away.

Must be on her group bizniss page as it's not on her personal one?

yorkshirecountrylass · 18/11/2020 14:28

Yes on the bizznizz page, more details being announced tonight apparently...

Sforsh49 · 18/11/2020 15:24

Broke is in a relationship....

CodenameVillanelle · 18/11/2020 18:00

Ahhhh
Back with the mother of his kids by the looks. What a shame for her

Norma27 · 18/11/2020 19:00

Just watched Mondays Corrie. Loving the pyramid scheme storyline. Looks like they will be taking no prisoners and showing them for how awful they are.

acatcalledjohn · 19/11/2020 08:27

In the comments Broke says "it's defo not the ex"

Unless by that he means Pocahontas.

Sforsh49 · 19/11/2020 09:49

I think he means Pocahontas by defo not the ex. He's very cosy with Mother of Kids on the holiday photos and he's always round her house never in his bedsit these days

CodenameVillanelle · 19/11/2020 09:52

The mum of his kids changed her relationship status on the same day

Getthekettleon2020 · 19/11/2020 10:12

Broke has no understanding of a relationship as he thinks it starts and ends in the bedroom. He has no redeeming qualities and no money.

ticktock19 · 19/11/2020 12:48

Sleaze and Wig seem to be back on their making trillions and trillions schedule by booking into a hotel in Gloucester and advertising big silver chocolate Christmas coins 🙄

Getthekettleon2020 · 19/11/2020 13:10

Re Yawns mums in business the hun who does a like , b&w photo has been selling FL gunk on fb marketplace. Wonder Woman also.
I like to peruse in my pockets of time and see some familiar faces.
FM seems to have invaded the turf of our favourite bots.

TwinsetAndPearlss · 19/11/2020 14:45

@CodenameVillanelle

Also the relationship status appears above one offering to reveal who the real "broke" is because he has been slagging her off on the internet. Is she involved in MLM too? She has the required level of self awareness and critical awareness.
Tupperwarelid · 19/11/2020 17:17

Are any of you finding your FB is flooded with virtual Christmas markets? A Body Shop bot seems to have started one here but has restricted it to only stall holder of each type, so there’s one FM, one Avon, one scentsey etc. This has spurred other bots into action and they are now setting up their own virtual markets. Still I guess it saves them having to give up their weekends to sit in cold church halls making no money.

Yes, I got booted from my local one for posting that MLMs aren't business or crafts
OscarRIP · 19/11/2020 17:55

I have an "Avon Lady" who leaves a brochure with me every so often, though not recently obviously. In the past when I have ordered something from her it has taken weeks before it arrives. I recently went on Avon online and ordered some perfume (free postage) and it came the next day Shock.

Made me wonder why on earth anyone would order from a rep again, what is the benefit over ordering online?
