Just thought I’d start this thread. If someone else has done so simultaneously let me know!

Her vinted site is worth a browse. It shows how desperate she is, selling Primark and F&F vests for £1.50 that you can buy new for £3. By the time you put the buyers premiums on for Vinted you might as well get a new one, not one Yawns plugged the Thatch with!

Wealthy people don't do this.

Sugarplum48 · 22/05/2023 16:22

@Angrymum22 every week she's lost another 20billionty pounds so we can rest assure she's telling porkies.

Why doesn’t she just give all her old clothes to charity?

YouOKHun · 22/05/2023 20:04

I haven’t looked at Yawn’s latest Vinted offerings but some of the bits of tat she was selling last time are the sort of things charity shops pass on for rags because they are not worth rail space. It is certainly an indicator of her finances that she is using her pockets of time for the laborious process of uploading tat onto a selling site. Far better to recycle for rags or give to a charity if decent enough and use your pockets of time to make millions out of the “four products you sell to just 24 customers”.

When selling your decrepit old vest top for a maximum profit of £1 on Vinted is actually making a difference to your finances you’ve got some serious questions to ask yourself about how FLP is working out.

I've just had another look as I've not looked for a while, she's selling a bobbled M&S bra for £1.75 and apparently "you can cut the bobbles off"

NormalForNuneaton · 22/05/2023 20:52

Even my DC who both sell on Vinted wouldn't bother selling things like that, even as strapped for cash school kids/students.

NormalForNuneaton · 22/05/2023 21:01

Talking of Yawn WTF is going on with her photos and why is she insisting on still using distorting filters?

If you see her as part of a group shot, like at the recent 45yrs event at FL HQ , she's a normal slimmed down shape with normal proportions like those around her but as soon as it's a selfie she's suddenly a bobblehead with a really narrow shoulders and body but a huge head (like today's pic of her with her son's GF or the weekend photo of the puppy walk with the gormless Mr Yawn).

@NormalForNuneaton over on FB Yawn is posting about Mini Yawn and what a good opportunity it is to have a no hassle FLP business for an 18 year old. So if your teens are merely strapped for cash in the traditional student way then Yawn can offer them an opportunity to get into proper misery inducing debt with FLP! The kind of debt that will mean they’ll have to sell their old underwear online when they are 40 plus! Eeek!

Yawn always makes her legs look like matchsticks in her heavily filtered pics, FL official pics tell a different story....normal legs and not a matchstick leg in sight!

Funny you should mention that @YouOKHun as DD had an MLM hun on her health sciences degree course who she avoided like the plague in case she tried to recruit her!

I've said it before but if anyone like Yawn signed my DC up to a "business in a box" I'd be livid.

Sugarplum48 · 22/05/2023 22:47

Just zoomed in on yawns noggin. Skinny is not doing her well. She looks dreadful

YouOKHun · 22/05/2023 22:55

Me too @NormalForNuneaton. I’d have something very direct to say to anyone trying to recruit my DC, especially if the recruiter was old enough to know better (Yawn’s age). Luckily my DD, having spent her teens saying to me, “shut up about MLMs” now is full on antiMLM. As she’s an Economics student she can see that the maths don’t work and the model is full of holes. Sounds like your DD is on message too.

Shame for that girl on your DD’s degree course - an example of the social isolation a young person is likely to experience thanks to MLM involvement, alongside the inevitable debt. Such a disaster for a young adult to have their confidence knocked by the inevitable failure they’ll experience.

Sugarplum48 · 23/05/2023 10:41

Funnily enough @YouOKHun and @NormalForNuneaton my DC thinks the same about MLM. Probably because I am so anti the entire dreadful world that it is and the blood sucking leaches that live within its realms. Every time DC see's me looking at certain bots SM pages DC says the same thing "is that that awful woman you dont like mum who scams teenage kids like me"...Yes darling, yes it is. I dont like her for a variety of reasons the latest being that she is now targeting vulnerable impressionable young teenagers like you and i'm incredibly relieved that you have a protective mum like me who would'nt allow you to be thrown to the wolves for pickings.

Sugarplum48 · 24/05/2023 10:37

Has it struck anyone else just how out of her depth castle is with this latest new BFF?? Found the newbie on tiktok and she blows castle out of the water in terms of her sm. No wonder castle wants a slice of what new BFF has going on!!!

terrywynne · 24/05/2023 11:10

Has anyone seen the Forever Living flow chart to pick your gel (on the FB page of the other bot doing hiking)? I'm liking the question of "plain or fruity" which is followed by the options "plain" "fruity" and "no"...

YouOKHun · 24/05/2023 14:07

I saw that flow chart too. My eye went to the “are you specifically looking to support mobility?” With the arrow to the “Freedom” product. I know they think that the word “support” gets them off the false claim hook but I can’t find any evidence that their product has any positive benefits for anyone’s mobility so to my mind they shouldn’t be implying anything. We all know the FLP Huns will take that implied “mobility support” and run with it.

You’re right @terrywynne , it’s possible to get trapped in their flowchart between two questions if the answer is “no” (and the answer should always be “no” where FLP’s concerned!).

@Sugarplum48 Castle has had such a string of new collaborators that I am now confused about which one is today’s “amazing” “best friend”. Castle is out of her depth annd anlways has been, and is looking for others to provide the momentum for every “soon to be revealed” identikit scam. She’s a lesson to us all about what happens if we smooth the road in front of our children too much and enable every whim.

OP posts:
PieonaBarm · 24/05/2023 14:13

Yawns having a day off but in the same breath it's Weary Wednesday Meeting later. Not a day off Yawn, it's called shift work....

Howsimplywonderful · 24/05/2023 15:37

Castle is definitely flailing about.

She looks more like her new collaborators mum so can’t imagine them being besties.

She’s advocating selling everything about yourself and your kids to gain subscribers. How sad is that. Flogging your children for clicks.

YouOKHun · 24/05/2023 16:43

her exploitation of her children’s privacy is the worse thing about her. It’s not even a new strategy for her and I think her oldest child has really suffered from this exploitation (as well as from the disruption of being uprooted regularly). Where does Castle go from here? She can try and kick off something with a series of predators joining her to try and give her the motivation to follow through with “new exciting” projects which only feel like they’ve got hope while in pre-launch, but there must come a point when even the most gullible are no longer fooled. I don’t suppose she will stop barrel scraping until her parents are no longer able to bankroll her hobby.

So poor Nurse is suffering with sciatica (I have had this and it’s no joke) and is off work in her second week in her new job

how does she explain this through her strong belief in the Law of Attraction (did she attract this somehow?) and manifesting (did she manifest an illness that prevented her from going to work?)
???

YouOKHun · 24/05/2023 17:39

I’ve had Sciatica and it’s no fun but (and I know it’s different for everyone) surely in week two of a new job you’d want to push through wouldn’t you? She’s got next week off after all. I think she’s just after the easy life. It’s what she thought she’d get from MLM, it’s what she thinks manifesting will deliver.

I reckon her job will be history by the autumn term and she’ll be back offering quasi therapy, manicures and Woo to an audience of her mum and a few cynical bot watchers! Or perhaps she will try her hand at another MLM.

OP posts:
Sunsea21 · 24/05/2023 21:11

I don’t give this job more than a couple of weeks before she has quit. She doesn’t seem to like working and thinks that a mlm is her key to riches

BSintolerant · 24/05/2023 22:56

I doubt she’ll pass her probationary period.
