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

Yawn has apparently been weeding the Thatch “gardens”. Does she want to imply she is living in a National Trust property or something? More accurate to say “Mr Yawn has been slogging away in our medium sized garden which is sandwiched between an A-road and a cluster of 60s bungalows. You can see by my nails that I haven’t lifted a finger”.

I don’t care who does all the work at the Thatch but her FLP “success” has not bought her Capability Brown style gardens, just somewhere to park her caravan until HMRC comes knocking - that’s what her new followers need to know.

She may not have an income from FL. If she left under a cloud of some sort, or upset the wrong person, she could have been terminated.
Which just proves what we've all been saying for years, it's NOT their own business and if someone with a huge downline can be terminated than it can happen to anyone.

I never considered that she might have been terminated.
It would make sense though, nobody walks away from a residual income (even if it would decline with time).

....and less than half a mile away by road from the M5 (probably less as the crow flies)

NormalForNuneaton · 28/05/2023 19:42

Talking of Yawn .... why is her business not registered to her current address on companies house? Surely it's a legal requirement to notify them of a change of address?

It's registered to a house 5 mins away that I think they lived in before the thatch. It's a house that last sold in 2004 so presumably they rented it. Wonder how the owners and new tenants would feel about Yawn still having it as her registered address?

YouOKHun · 28/05/2023 19:59

@NormalForNuneaton yes, cheeky not to keep your address up to date even if it’s the correspondence address. I’ve reported it recently. Isn’t her registered address with the shady accountants based in a Warwickshire spa town?

Maybe why she has been ignoring the letters from HMRC re her bed & breakfasting her directors loan. She hasn’t been getting the letters.
HMRC are clever though, they’ll be able to trace her via her social media presence.

BSintolerant · 28/05/2023 23:57

HMRC have got all sorts of information at their disposal when it comes to tracking people down.

I’m surprised Castle hasn’t come under HMRC’s radar given her recent claims on social media about her eight figure MLM income. Do you think she declared it on her tax return? 🤣

Sugarplum48 · 29/05/2023 08:11

I can confirm that yawn does not have NT gardens. She has just the one standard garden like the rest of us mere mortals

Angrymum22 · 29/05/2023 08:16

In all her scamversity content has she ever included tax planning and basic accounting? The first rule of setting up a new business is to sort out your tax account and put aside at least 20% of everything you make for tax.
Something that has always interested me is how do they deal with VAT. It can catch you out if you don’t understand the rules.

Spongebobette · 29/05/2023 18:13

Bruv filming his dad hard at work maintaining Castle’s property and of course posting it on social media
What is the matter with him?

Twentytwentyhindsight · 29/05/2023 19:27

Bruv honestly believes that any actual useful productive work is not just beneath him, but something to be mocked.
He takes the piss out of his parents for still working their arses off to keep him and his obnoxious sister in the moral, intellectual and spiritual desert they call a lifestyle.
What a prick.

Angrymum22 · 30/05/2023 01:31

Castles post yesterday about how she had no training bladebladebla is utter bollocks. She spent a fortune on coaching. And as for lack of support, FL pretty much handed it to her on a plate.
The latest groundbreaking scam is to be to try and professionalise MLM so they have the same level of respect as other important J.O.B.S.
So she’s going back to MLM. I wonder if she is planning to set up an MLM registration business, so they boys can self certify and register with a “governing body”. Then they can add a certificate and letters to the end of their name like proper pros do. Most professional bodies charge an annual fee. They are rife in beauty and cosmetics industry. They mean absolutely nothing but legitimise the business.
She could then set up an account industry awards event. Nearly all awards events businesses nominate themselves, they are the ultimate pat on the back for a narcissist.

Angrymum22 · 30/05/2023 01:33

Boys - bots
account - awards

Spongebobette · 30/05/2023 07:04

Good call, she’s been thinking hard about how to get money out of MLMers and Scamversity was one way - and she can use Bruv’s skills to create certificates and badges etc

Howsimplywonderful · 30/05/2023 07:10

But castle’s just a random person with notions of grandeur

she has no qualifications of her own. Is she going to grant herself an honorary degree in MLM inspections, or a doctorate in commission calculations

who would pay

If she tries hard enough she could create a professional body as dishonest and self serving as the one that already exists for product based pyramid schemes direct selling, the DSA. They could teach her a thing or two about cover ups, lying to bots, giving awards to each other despite potentially criminal activity and pretend regulation/claims to be a regulatory body.

Homeschool is up to something, a dormant Facebook account now seems active accounts, although under her new surname.

Spongebobette · 30/05/2023 11:29

Castle is doing a live on Insta

about 20 people watching

YouOKHun · 30/05/2023 11:57

@BangingOn looks like she is upping her recruitment of the car pyramid scheme thing. It’s a real scam. I get the feeling that her first partner after she split with Weird Willy was not pro MLM so she backed away partly for that reason. The new partner is more on-side with the whole MLM thing. If Homeschool is still working in the charity that helps people back into gainful employment then her involvement in this car scam is very concerning. She showed herself to be pretty ruthless in FLP so why would she keep the charity and the separate?

OP posts:
BangingOn · 30/05/2023 12:03

@YouOKHun I had missed the car scheme involvement, has she been posting under a different FB account or on another platform? As you say, very scary indeed as we know how ruthless she is.

fromdownwest · 30/05/2023 12:18

Castle really is a one trick pony isn't she. Ground breaking, never seen before event in 3 days etc.

Surley people are bored of this old trick now?

Angrymum22 · 30/05/2023 13:35

The Society of Network Marketing has a nice ring until you shorten it to SNM🤣

PieonaBarm · 30/05/2023 14:37

I'd be interested to know what income Castle is living off on a monthly basis because Scamversity can't be funding that flat, her, useless husband, two kids at private school and nursery, dog, the house in Wales when it's empty, tax liability, and not forgetting paying the Dean of Crayons. Yesterday she was banging on about going to Pompei and perhaps buying another camper van. Cos let's be honest, she got her monies worth out of the last one she bought!

Howsimplywonderful · 30/05/2023 15:16

It’s surprising that castles in-laws haven’t visited in 6 months and her husband hasn’t brought them home to see his family.

🤣🤣

The abbreviation of Network Marketing Association also has a certain, er, “ring” to it in a Lancashire accent. NMA …
