Can’t wait to get my readers pass for the Botleian!

Thank you for the new thread.

@NormalForNuneaton Interesting what you said on the previous thread about Yawn visiting a dentist with a box of aloe tricks. There’s a dentist not far from me who offers weight loss injections. Does that sort of thing go on in Yawn’s part of the world?

YouOKHun · 19/07/2022 23:54

Quite a lot of dentists are really branching out aren’t they? Way beyond a bit of Botox. There’s one near me that offers something like the Saxenda pen injection for weight loss. I’m sure there will be something similar near Yawn. One thing is for sure, she hasn’t been honest about her weight loss when she says it’s down to C9 resetting her appetite etc.

I love all the local knowledge of Yawn’s environs@NormalForNuneaton!

Yes pack your Michael Kors satchel and start preparing yourself for a Prosecco filled freshers week @BSIntolerant !

Soon you’ll be studying hard in the Botleian and attending tutor groups with the two professors. Then one day if you keep paying £39 each month work really hard you will graduate with a BSc (Huns) in Botting, and if you have no moral compass a great work ethic there is no reason why you shouldn’t do an MA is Scamming. Imagine, BSIntolerant BSc (Huns), MA Scam And the wonderful thing is you can start your own university and get all your students to start their own university too. It will make a wonderful rags to rags story to tell your grandchildren and your probation officer!

Thanks for new fred, @YouOKHun Smile.

I liked your comment at the end of the last thread about Scamiversity. I watched the live too and was the one who made the comment about T&C. I was surprised she highlighted it and read it out. Then wasn't it interesting that she stated that for £39 per month bots, sorry students, would have access to thousands of pounds of education resources but could cancel at any time, even after paying the initial £39. I was blocked from posting after that. I was also one of those 'haterz' that PMed someone to exercise caution before signing up and to read carefully the T&Cs. I got no response but interestingly their comment on the puff piece (they'd said they were in two minds about joining) disappeared.

It is so sad that these gullible people will learn the cost of their trust in this scammy pair. It will be a good, if expensive, lesson for them. Although I suspect they will be told it's their fault if they fail Hmm.

YouOKHun · 20/07/2022 08:55

Ah, I wondered who that was who highlighted the T&Cs. - good work @MarchXX!

if I were Yawn I would not feel reassured or optimistic about future growth by looking at her Monday night ‘spot who appears twice to make it look like more people are there’ group

Some, sadly, are just pathetic

worcestersauce29 · 20/07/2022 09:43

I spotted the other day that Yawns' nail person works from home only a few doors away from my mum! I'll ask mum to look out for the white rangey and step ladders!

Spongebobette · 20/07/2022 10:16

I see Castle is on to her next, probably short-lived, hobby and has kitted out her son with all the gear for his first lesson rather than waiting to see if he likes it and wants to continue

fromdownwest · 20/07/2022 10:18

Castle is taking up Tennis - one or two days in this fad?

worcestersauce29 · 20/07/2022 11:00

To be honest I'm surprised that the son hasn't had the opportunity to play tennis before, given that he attends an independent school.

YouOKHun · 20/07/2022 12:57

@worcestersauce29 Did someone say that Castle (and therefore poor little Turret) is persona non grata in the local area/school? The whole “all the gear, no idea” approach doesn’t go down well, nor does the flashiness.

The independent school thing is an interesting challenge from the bots’ perspective. It looks like a rich seam of potential but it seems to me MLM is not welcome among most parents and the HT/senior staff do not like any commercial activities on their premises or worse still, use of parents’ data to try and recruit, at least it’s pretty much the case in the prep schools in my area. Most have got wise to these companies turning up for Xmas fairs etc too, so they are rarely spotted and usually devoid of customers when they do turn up. It’s the case in the primary schools too, I mean the negative feeling about MLM but in the primary schools I’ve worked in (not a teacher, I do volunteer reading assistance) there is more financial vulnerability to the pull of Usbourne, JP, Avon etc.

I know of one Arbonne infested teacher who lost her job (at a prep school) over her botting activities, which kicked off because a parent complained about the use of their email address to make contact re an Arbonne gathering (not the only offence).

I wonder what reception Castle got with her inevitable FLP push in school and now when she talks up her fairly obvious scam?

Spongebobette · 20/07/2022 13:09

And what does her son say when asked what mummy and daddy do for a living I wonder?

fromdownwest · 20/07/2022 13:39

Yeah, I know a few people that have bumped into Castle of the years, and not one had a positive thing to say about her. All the opinions that one would draw based on her Social Media personality appear to be the same in RL.

PieonaBarm · 20/07/2022 13:51

It's BFF's birthday today. No gushing post from Castle yet.....

Spongebobette · 20/07/2022 13:52

She’s got plenty of time, she’s offloaded the kids again

Angrymum22 · 20/07/2022 17:34

There was a flurry of activity in the early prolific years of FL at DS’s prep school. Unfortunately a few of the families involved who thought that FL was going to set them up for a life of luxury had to withdraw their children after a couple of years when funds and gullible customers ran out. Yawn may well have had a stall at the numerous fares at DS’s school in the early days, I do remember FL being present but never popular.

I remember Yawn moving her children to their state school but being very vague about whether it was state or private. There are some very good rural schools in the area but both the big independents are selective entry so it doesn’t matter how much money you have you need an above average intelligence to get a place. She has always been very quiet about this but she knows a number of people whose children are there. I have insider knowledge 😉

Castle seems to be grooming herself in anticipation of the great wealth she seems to be anticipating which makes me think she is being scammed by Fierce. Or maybe they have both bulled themselves up in order to exploit each other. The fall out will be entertaining to watch.

It is quite apparent who the mark is in that relationship. No matter how savvy Castle thinks she is, she is a little fish swimming in a big pond...

When Yawn bought her dream house she said her children were going to a wonderful school - so good it was as good as independent schools (implying that there was no need to pay for private education)
made my blood boil at the time

StuckInSandwich · 20/07/2022 18:54

Ooh, Forever living have released a whole load of un-stepladdered Yawn photos from the (lack of) success day. Bloody hell, those tight white shorts are NOT flattering. She's definitely lost some weight, and I think she's actually got a great figure, but it really shows how fake those filtered photos are. I'm tempted to join her weight loss group, but we have mutual friends and I don't want to pop up on her radar when she's clearly so desperate to recruit.

StuckInSandwich · 20/07/2022 18:56

Sorry, the summer recognition day, not success day. There seem to be about 15 people there. Not very inspiring...

FeeBeeBooh · 20/07/2022 19:01

Wow summer at Southfork Ranch looks a bit sparsely attended. I only see yawn in attendance from the "names"

Looked hot and not terribly interesting

Spongebobette · 20/07/2022 19:33

Oh dear! Very sparse attendance!

worcestersauce29 · 20/07/2022 19:37

The day looks horrific. Popcorn £2, icecream £3 a scoop or £5 for 2. I have never known an employer ask their 'amazing successful team' pay anything at an work sponsored 'do' The times they are a changing :)
