Just seen on a local buy & sell site someone selling shoes which they have photographed on a hob 😂
Talking of footwear wasn’t Yawn trying to get rid of some recently? They were probably bought in the, glory years but she has recently bought cheap boots. Has the jacket had an appearance yet? I also see the caravan in a recent photo which has not left the drive. Talk about a white elephant.

I think Nurse is out of FL. Today in her stories she mentions how ready she is to get out of the NHS, but has to put her thinking cap on wrt how she's going to get out.

That strongly implies that aloe gloop is no longer her ticket to financial freedom.

All that's needed now is for her to save her money rather than wasting it on Castle's tat.

JohnStonesMissus · 08/11/2021 21:44

I wonder when the penny finally dropped with Nurse? I wonder if Yawn had something to do with it, as in Nurse seeing another side to Yawn she didn't like?

MarchXX · 09/11/2021 07:48

@Spongebobette

I can’t see Nurse’s love as she’s home private

Is this possibly just a teaser video which she’ll follow up with a big Forever Living relaunch?

I saw it on her insta stories, Sponge. I'm banned from her fb, sadly.

@JohnStonesMissus

Yawn is still banging on about non alcoholic drinks, it's boring as fuck, we get it Yawn, you've discovered non alcoholic drinks now change the fucking record! The way she keeps going on about it the more I think she's obsessed with the REAL alcoholic stuff..
Yeah, interesting idea.

"There’s a lot of sugar and empty calories in alcohol and fake alcoholic drinks. Sod that: I’d rather eat real food." @BSintolerant, that's exactly why I drink coffee and tea when out at the pub. Thankfully all pubs sell both nowadays so its not odd. I'm too old to care what people think, anyway Grin.

Noooooo! Nurse has just mentioned "law of attraction" on her insta!

terrywynne · 09/11/2021 09:24

Ubers latest post reads like one of those round robin letters you get at Christmas. The ones all about their fab hols and talented children (I seem to remember them being parodied by MNers in previous years). But with the added bonus of a recruitment plug at the end.

terrywynne · 09/11/2021 09:28

And Yawn and Specsavers bot have posted the exact same text about a lady wanting to restart Forever. What are the chances... it's hardly subtle is it!

At least it's only in relation to her day as a nurse not being shit and nothing mlmy!

Broke recently posted about 'getting pack into cryptocurrency'
The comment section is hilarious. He starts off looking like he's trying to plug a particular scam scheme, before revealing they are all rigged and the founders run away with the money, but you might have a chance of a fast buck.
Nonetheless, he is nibbling at the bait of one hun who insists she has seen 'real money' in returns, despite admitting that his last venture into this particulate a left him ten grand in the hole...
Can't fix stupid.

Not been checking up on this thread for a month or so due to being diagnosed with breast cancer. As an aside there are bots on the breast cancer private support groups, fortunately the admins are very strict. I’m also cynical about some of the joiners who join as soon as they feel a lump then ask all the usual leading questions but as I say admin are pretty good.
What I came on to ask is has anyone noticed the new coaching trend? Wonderful Worcestershire women have an advert for “Mindshift Coaching” I had to do a double take because I read it as mindsh*t.
So we no longer need a mindset but we need a mindshift. And is mindfulness out of fashion.
I suspect it’s all mindless bs that the “business ladies” love wasting their money on.

Spongebobette · 09/11/2021 14:45

Very sorry to read about your diagnosis @Angrymum22

And incandescent with rage at anyone who would prey on people when they are vulnerable

@Angrymum22 I’m so sorry to hear your news. Daffodil I wish there was something we could do to eradicate this shit disease.

Those brainwashed MLM bots who prey on people with cancer and other shit diseases should be ashamed of themselves. The whole MLM industry is rotten. If only governments throughout the world would take a closer look at the damage MLM does and make it illegal.

Speaking of legal matters, is there any more news of Messiah? I wonder if we’ll be singing the Hallelujah chorus this Christmas when the authorities catch up with him?

Very illuminating.

Her answer to question "what made you stop?"
The pressure to post on Facebook so often about every aspect of my life in order to gain interaction from Facebook friends as an opening into their inbox to ultimately swerve every conversation to business. Basically made me become a fake friend to everyone. Every friendship had an ulterior motive. Every friend became a potential customer target.

That's it in a nutshell, and beautifully put. MLM exploits and turns bots into exploiters.

JohnStonesMissus · 10/11/2021 17:55

Sorry to hear that Angrymum22 I hope you're doing ok.

funkylittleboatrace · 10/11/2021 18:13

Why on earth has Yawn stuck raffia mats to her stairs?She’s a DIY menace.🤣

I know, they look weird.....I don't imagine Mr Yawn having any say on the matter, he just does as he's told!
Whitefire · 10/11/2021 18:31

Sorry to hear your news angrymum Though if you need a Mindsh*t coach I'd be good at that.

PieonaBarm · 10/11/2021 19:30

Can you imagine having to dust Yawns house with all that stuff everywhere and then her Wolfpack? I've got one dog and not much "stuff" and it drives me bonkers!

WellThatsATurnipForTheBooks · 10/11/2021 19:51

With all the money she has rolling in I'm sure she must have a cleaner Hmm

YouokHun · 10/11/2021 20:45

Sorry to hear about your diagnosis @Angrymum22
and wish you well Flowers. It is truly despicable that MLM preys upon people’s natural worries about their health in forums and patient groups etc, and preys upon those wanting to lend their support by tricking them into sponsoring care packs.

As for coaching, the whole term has been damaged by the network marketing version I think. The few coaches that I know personally really know their stuff and have a fairly senior corporate backgrounds but are having to work quite hard to distance themselves from the type of conduct becoming synonymous with the term “coaching”. I suppose the term ‘mindset’ is also similarly sullied?

I guess once you’ve established it’s impossible to make money in MLM and pretty hard to hang onto the money if you do make the top 1%, then you might as well create a new role coaching role for yourself so you can get others to pay you to trick them into MLM and keep them plugging away at it 😠. Mindshit is a much better name for it …

YouokHun · 10/11/2021 21:16

@BSintolerant yes let’s hope we will all be belting out the hallelujah chorus but if not we can make do with Messiah’s personal Christmas hit parade:
Away in a Rangey
Deck the Cells
The First Noel (behind bars)
White (powder) Christmas
All I want for Christmas (is a Panamanian passport)
O Come all ye faithful (and hand over your benefits)
God arrest ye merry (or otherwise), “Gentleman”
Mistletoe & (Hefty) fine
