@YouokHun twisted minds think alike! 😉

It comes to something when you start dreaming about MLM's.

This time it was shoes, which were of a very poor quality. It was my Mum and she was told that she was better than the chemical engineer that wanted to sign up as the Grannies would trust her more. I was trying to get her out but she was really upset about the money she had spent and then the guru kept ringing her to tell her she had to sign up and they kept sending out these rubbish sample shoes.

So MLM's you next target is 77 year old Grandmas. Grin

Anything involving MLMs sounds more like a nightmare than a dream!

@Spongebobette

Castle is asking minions to guess which of her businesses made her a million first

Which implies she has several businesses, all of which made her a million

I think the all seeing business woman has confused turnover with net profit.

Debt free, six figure income earners do not buy cheap boots

Yawn is still saying she went to Spain for a week! Too funny!

Or fly Ryan Air to Spain, you'd fly BA or Iberia and have a premium seat..her minions must be so gullible

My colleague invited over 100 people to her FL online Christmas shopping event last night. Only 4 attended and almost nothing was purchased. Not a great success

SandyDays · 02/11/2021 13:13

Yawn's latest insta story saying she spent a week in Spain - what an outright and unnecessary lie! I mean what's the point!

Spongebobette · 02/11/2021 13:34

She totally relaxed (apart from constantly taking photos and posting 🤣)

And now is doing a ‘challenge’ with her minions to get them spending more money oops I mean getting them ‘on track’ to make 2k a month

OP posts:
Spongebobette · 02/11/2021 13:35

I do not believe she has people earning 10k a month in her team
She certainly isn’t

If you're going to blatantly lie then you have to make it convincing...

WellThatsATurnipForTheBooks · 02/11/2021 16:08

I can't believe no one has questioned her about how long she was actually there, I mean it's blatantly obvious that it wasn't a week.

Is it that they daren't question her or do they not notice the inconsistencies?

Actually, maybe they don't want to believe that it was only a night or two because that's like admitting to themselves that the whole FL thing is built on lies ...lies of their upline and lies that they themselves are encouraged to tell

I think that's the issue, they daren't question their dear leader or they'll be out in the cold and called a hater..

@WellThatsATurnipForTheBooks

Castle's Insta story at the moment has a bit about how, if you haven't placed an order for a year, you can be transferred to her team and she'll coach and mentor you .....oooh this could get a few people's backs up Yawn

I'll screenshot and remove identifying info and post here....

Whoa... that's really frowned upon. I am sure it used to be quite difficult to switch sponsor. I am sure you used to have to have not been active for 2 years, and you used to have to swear an affidavit to say so.

That will definitely get people's backs up. But it shows what has become standard practice now - in my day, so to speak, it would have been absolutely no, never, not done.

definitelynotabot · 02/11/2021 16:46

@YouokHun

Castle’s recent accounts are now available on the CH website.
Argh I keep forgetting who she is... will have to trawl through :)
definitelynotabot · 02/11/2021 16:52

Well, those accounts make for interesting reading. Why the huge downshift in director's loan, I wonder?

Spongebobette · 02/11/2021 18:09

Hmmm wonder if Yawn will roll over her Director’s loan again - 250k last year which was 30k bigger than the year before

Tax man might be interested if she bed and breakfasts again

How much tax would she have to pay …..

JohnStonesMissus · 02/11/2021 18:19

Is Yawn's directors loan huge because she's using it to live off?

I think the first £10,000 there's no tax to pay if you repay it within a certain time frame (I could be wrong, I'm not an expert) but you have to pay 32.5% on the remaining balance....ouch! I don't know how she sleeps at night, I know I couldn't.

If HMRC pile on the pressure will she have to sell the Thatch?
Don’t think there’s enough collateral in the faux leather boots.

Not sure to be honest, it's an awful lot of money though...
BSintolerant · 02/11/2021 20:57

I had an interesting conversation with an insolvency lawyer (no, really!) about whether company directors can be held personally liable for their company’s debts. He said it was indeed possible and is often the result of directors’ loans getting out of hand. He explained that directors usually pay themselves a modest salary which is topped up by dividends when the company makes a profit: it’s tax efficient. A company can unravel when it’s not profitable, directors’ loans become unmanageable and the list of creditors gets longer. Company Directors have a legal responsibility to keep their creditors’ losses to a minimum. If liquidators are appointed and discover that the company was trading when it was insolvent (which is unlawful) that’s when things start to get interesting.

Simply put, if directors continue to trade whilst their company is insolvent, they could be held personally liable for their company’s debts. I imagine this would make life uncomfortable for them.

Sorry guys it seems Nurse has just switched allegiance to Castle. She has liked and commented on her latest waffle.Don’t listen to them as it hurts my ears and intelligence. Strange how we didn’t get any photos/videos of motor home holiday. I don’t understand accounts but can see numbers dropping quite dramatically. I think she probably had money from parents for her directors loan as they sold their house 🏡. Talk about downsizing.
Oh Christ. Every time we think she's moved on she disappoints us.

There's clearly been a fall out with Yawn though. She's persona non grata with her now. But yes, Castle v Yawn for nurse makes no difference to her network of possible suckers which over 5 years is now vanishingly tiny.

Spongebobette · 03/11/2021 10:30

Unless Castle plays a numbers game and places people under her to boost her up through the ranks
It’s been done before
Thereby ‘proving’ she’s a great leader and tempting more minions her way
