Ok so who messaged Yawn asking her how to loose 2st in 2 wks before flying out to Bali. Had to be someone taking the piss.

It wasn't me but I did just properly laugh that she would actually post that 'question' 😂😂😂😂

ticktock19 · 05/05/2023 12:51

Actually it was 6 stone 😂😂

Sure it wasn't 5.5 stone 🤣🤣🤣

BSintolerant · 05/05/2023 15:03

She said that she gained 7lbs in Bali but I suspect she’s only saying that to promote one of FL’s boxes of aloe horrors which will enable her to magically “loose” eleventy squillion pounds (plus a crock of shit and a packet of gravel).

Angrymum22 · 05/05/2023 15:15

Sorry my mistake it was 6 stone. I think we all know that she sends herself texts from Mr Yawn’s phone in order to post on her fb feed. I suspect she’s only just realised she can do this, maybe a trick she picked up at the rally. It wouldn’t surprise me if it was in one of the training sessions. But she has gone a bit ott.

YouOKHun · 05/05/2023 17:48

6 stone weight loss in 2 weeks? What did Yawn suggest? Her go-to rapid weight loss option of Photoshop?!

What is going on with castle.

The more I watch the more I think she might be spiralling a bit.

She looks tired and stressed. She trimmed some of her day old extensions. Surely that's a bit strange. How much did that cost.

And I think she's trying a new accent.

I know she only posts glimpses of her life but Mr Castle doesn't seem the most chatty person. And i reckon shes on her own a lot of the time. She's almost definitely lonely and in her own head too much.

Sugarplum48 · 05/05/2023 18:15

Castle does not seem OK!! Her posts and vids are rambling and don't make sense. She's going to reveal a big secret apparently!!! What that's she skint, has no direction and is scamming people. Don't forget to get your readjusted planner from her ladies!!

I asked Chat GPT about Forever Living…

Forever Living is a multi-level marketing (MLM) company that sells health and wellness products, such as aloe vera-based drinks, supplements, skincare, and weight management products. MLM is a business model where salespeople earn a commission not only on their own sales but also on the sales of the people they recruit into the company.
Whether Forever Living is a viable business model depends on several factors. MLM companies have received criticism for being pyramid schemes, where the focus is on recruiting new members rather than selling products. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has warned that many MLM companies operate as illegal pyramid schemes, and consumers should be cautious before investing money in them.
That being said, not all MLM companies are illegal pyramid schemes, and some people have been successful in earning money through MLM. However, the success rate in MLM is typically low, and many people end up losing money instead of earning it.
Furthermore, the sustainability of Forever Living's business model also depends on the demand for their products and the competition in the market. There are many other health and wellness companies out there, and consumers have a wide variety of choices.
In conclusion, while some people may have found success with Forever Living or other MLM companies, it is important to approach such opportunities with caution and do your due diligence before investing time and money into them.

Because ChatGPT generates its answers from trawling through a corpus of web-based sources, rather than doing actual 'reasoning', it is no surprise that it has given a pretty generic response that matches much of what mainstream writers have said about MLM, rather than demonstrating how the MLM model is fundamentally mathematically flawed and doomed to failure (while a very few profit from the misery of the majority in the meantime).

BSintolerant · 05/05/2023 23:01

ChatGPT is another bot we’ll have to keep an eye on. 😉

Twentytwentyhindsight · 05/05/2023 23:03

I expect a few of the bots are already using it for their copy- it will certainly improve the coherence, grammar and spelling of their output.

Uber has been making sure her downlines are aware of the size of her bonus cheque. New ( 2022 season ) handbags all round.
Yawn refers to her as her “rich “ friend. Maybe she’s trying to court similar comments from her own downlines, although her generosity doesn’t appear to extend to designer handbags for her minions. Maybe her cheque wasn’t so wow after all.

Surprised at that.
Maybe it hasn't dropped as much as we think it has.
Not going to be Glory Years level though, I suspect.
Does anyone know the ££ ?

definitelynotabot · 06/05/2023 07:19

Interesting that Uber is saying on one hand, she is pleased with cheque despite working p/t rather than when she was building her network....
... and in the same breath saying she is recruiting etc etc😁

Sugarplum48 · 06/05/2023 10:04

Yawn and user are really pushing the get rich on p/t hours aren't they!! The deluded shite they push is abhorrent. Uber has fallen from the dizzy heights and yawn has sunk her claws into the next silly girl who has fallen into her Web of lies. You can imagine it now, yawn telling new bot to not believe any of the haterrrrs!!! She reminds me of Harry Enfield "loads a money" flashing the cash...

Sugarplum48 · 06/05/2023 10:07

And when you really look at these bots claiming p/t, does that include being on sm literally all day, the constant travelling, going to nights at hq, literally never stopping for fear of not earning the next £10. If their exhausting version is p/t then I'll happily stick to my version of p/t which is a 3 day week thanks

stockpilingallthecheese · 06/05/2023 17:41

It's so annoying not seeing the cheque amounts this year 😫

YouOKHun · 06/05/2023 18:50

Frustrating @stockpilingallthecheese but the secrecy says everything about the direction of travel of FLP’s fortunes doesn’t it? Add to that the tiny venues, the events in a tent, the bots like Uber diversifying etc etc. We know there was disappointment in the air in Bali and we can be fairly sure that for many of them it won’t top up their earnings enough to represent a salary a family could live on (unless it’s being propped up by another income).

What's the betting the user bag spectacle was a primami haul or better sheiniiii 😆😆🤣

Angrymum22 · 06/05/2023 22:59

They were 2022 stock that are all less than half price from the outlet.
Google is a wonderful tool.
I do wonder whether the “top” bots are given a budget for gifts to impress the downlines.
How many business owners post photos of themselves unpacking stock? It really does look like little girls playing shop. I wonder if they have their own card machines ( the modern equivalent of a till).
As for nurse, I thought my life was boring, I was wrong.

Nurse could bore an arsehole into a wooden horse.
