She’s renting a fridge and a washing machine and a tumble drier

When you are on a low income, with no cash to spare, sometimes that’s the only way to afford new appliances and the weekly rent seems reasonable - but when you add it all up you are spending more than you need to - I reckon she’s paying 40 -50 pounds a month

I see Yawn has treated her son to tickets for a music festival.

Boardmasters? Reading? .....nope a festival that is 2-3 miles away from the thatch that features tribute acts and 80s bands like WetWetWet.

Did she say she was renting the appliances? I don’t watch her lives much so just curious if she was that stupid to tell people.

I don't think so? But she's either renting or took out a bunch of credit. It's about £2k worth of appliances.

@Spongebobette

(Nothing wrong in taking pleasure in such things of course, but it wasn’t on her goal board to rent a fridge freezer for 20 quid a month. A white Range Rover was on there though…)
Do you think there’a a bug in the law of attraction? There’s a big difference between white goods and a white Range Rover.
Spongebobette · 25/08/2021 21:52

I can tell from the brands that they are rented (I know you can buy that brand too but she won’t have the cash for that)

How do you know she's renting? I'd just assumed she'd bought them. And the new car. Hmm.
Spongebobette · 25/08/2021 22:20

I don’t KNOW but I do think so

Malin52 · 26/08/2021 02:51

Hmm she mentions her dad came over to install the new machines. Pretty sure that any rental company installs too (to ensure you don't damage their property)

In any event there's no indication they are rented I don't think it's helpful to make up information to suit a narrative.

I DO think that the new appliances/car might be part of the rebranding by Yawn though...

Get a load of new stuff! It won't be much money and people will be impressed you can afford it etc

@Dizzy6700

OMG - Have you guys seen the shitstorm that is the Paparazzi super spreader event ?
Yes, and according to The MLM Police - antimlm on Facebook there could be up to 6 fatalities of people who attended the Paparazzi convention last month.

There are screen shots from people who attended who appear to confirm the grim news.

fromdownwest · 26/08/2021 09:35

After Castles decadence of a live in chef and PT. She has let herself go, so needs a 9 day reset.

Awful lot of resets for someones mantra is '3,2,1 Change it'

Actually now I think about it. Isn't this 'fake it till you make it' maybe?

Nurse doesn't seem to have her 'teamies' anymore. The cousin is no longer mentioned and seems no longer active. The other DD downline hasn't posted on her business page since May. DD downline announced 2 teamies a while ago that never seemed to ever become active.

Yawn has probably told her she needs to win them back with talk of new whatnots. They'll be wondering how she can afford it. Especially the car. Maybe the plan is they see it and come crawling back.

Noted the fact she said she's not moving after all too and instead will wait to buy the house of her dreams in the country.

Weird that none of this has been 'because of my business' though

Spongebobette · 26/08/2021 12:18

One thing I’m pleased to see is that Nurse hasn’t been tempted to buy huge amounts of stock and then try to flog it on fB marketplace

VolcanicEruption · 26/08/2021 12:24

White Goods and cars are hardly fake it till you make it scenario as most households have had them for years , probably bought with money from real jobs.

Reassuring to see the replies on that thread show that most people can see through the MLM bullshit and have picked up on the whole "fake it 'til you make it" con that they use.

fromdownwest · 26/08/2021 12:53

Castle is pouring out how everything she does is for her parents, and next time her goals will be all about 'filling up her own cup'

Words fail me

Spongebobette · 26/08/2021 13:16

The lack of self awareness is absolutely stunning

VolcanicEruption · 26/08/2021 16:40

Halfway through the thread about boycotting stores or companies about poor customer service and note that anything MLM is mentioned a few times.

YouokHun · 26/08/2021 18:03

@WellThatsATurnipForTheBooks yes it is good to see, yet again, that people are aware of MLM. For all the people who were lockdown converts to MLM (usually briefly), the whole Covid thing has done some real damage to the scam as so many more people saw what it did to people signing up in March 2020, and I think that dislike shows in the opinions of people generally. I don’t mean a captive audience of anti MLM people but if one asks an open question like “define a scam” so many people seem to now cite MLM. It’s seems anti MLM isn’t niche anymore! The thread mentioned by VolcanicEruption is another example. Now we just need U.K. authorities to redefine what constitutes an illegal pyramid scheme and act.

WellThatsATurnipForTheBooks · 26/08/2021 18:22

It's also the way it pops on TV soaps and comedies, and never shown in a good light.

I watched the episode of This Country (again) yesterday where Kerry joins Eternal Vitality. 🤣

Spongebobette · 26/08/2021 18:38

Oh that’s a great episode

WellThatsATurnipForTheBooks · 26/08/2021 19:03

"It tastes like ass" 🤣

Spongebobette · 26/08/2021 19:32

Yawn has ‘booked 4 days off’

To paint a wall

This is not something a 6 figure income, multi millionaire business owner usually does

BSintolerant · 26/08/2021 19:54

Could she not paint that wall (and fill in any nooks and crannies with gold leaf) using all those nooks and crannies of time she keeps banging on about? Grin
