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

Yawn’s product placement in that post though 🤣

Sugarplum48 · 11/04/2023 13:26

Yawn does make me chortle. Apparently they've bought the dream house, car and holidays with their bonus cheques. They've had to remortgage the house (common knowledge). The cars are less cars and they've only been on flp trips so you're ever so slightly full of the ever pouring stream of shit.

Angrymum22 · 11/04/2023 13:55

Yawn has finally revealed the 2021 cheque. I wonder why she is being secretive about the amount. And why not use 2022 cheque, maybe she didn’t get one after all.

YouOKHun · 11/04/2023 14:45

I expect the FLP bots will all say “we can’t reveal our cheque amounts because it’s against policy/not fair during the cost of living crisis” to conveniently side step having to reveal bonuses a fraction of what they were (if received at all). I have noticed a few bots being coy about the actual ££ and citing policy or not wanting to upset people with their huge wealth during these times, so I’m expecting a new “classy modesty” to be the cover for the decline!

Not that it will stop the implied success and all the usual tricks. Nor will it stop them continuing to show cheques from 2016 in the hope potential victims will simply assume 2023 cheques are of a similar amount.

As for the dog lifting its leg all over the Thatch, it seems most unwise to place a dog with an unreliable bladder on a kitchen work surface but I suppose it’s difficult to get the FLP product in shot if the dog is on the floor where he should be and the tube of FLP is standing in the middle of the floor too; that would be weird. So just pop the dog on the kitchen work surface next to the product.

The only way that tube of Aloe will help with doggy incontinence is if the tube is inserted into the dog’s urethra but as a dog lover I don’t suggest it. Not sure how the product is relevant or if it’s a very aspirational product placement!

I’m sure there is a joke about the doggy hierarchy and territory marking which could equally be applied to Yawn and FLP.

I'm intruiged as to how you know she's re mortgaged, do you have inside info?

The amount was blocked out...

But since she has no space left in her team for the rest of the month, maybe she's expecting a mega cheque this year.

Spongebobette · 11/04/2023 19:39

Ah yes no more space in team

scarcity marketing

Spongebobette · 11/04/2023 20:19

Looking at Nurse’s stories…. Sounds as though the post she’s been off sick from and has resigned from is in Birmingham
but she moved to a town an hour away several months ago?

also I’m v concerned that she’s got an interview fir a school based counselling role
she shouldn’t be allowed near teenagers with her manifestation and power of attraction beliefs

Spongebobette · 11/04/2023 20:29

And the salary is 12k a year.

hope she’s manifesting multiple streams of income

Sugarplum48 · 11/04/2023 22:43

Yawn and hubby have remortgaged the "thatch" twice in the time they've lived there. I have reliable Intel on this. Why do you think the director loan is so big!! YWns insatiable spending is A PROBLEM!!!! put it this way EBAY is her only BFF. Where else is she she gett6her "designers clothing from. It ain't the actual designers

YouOKHun · 11/04/2023 22:43

She’s also banging on about not getting any compliments or affirmation from her boss in the official letter she got from her Trust confirming they have received her letter and accept her resignation. If she hasn’t set foot through the door for a year, no doubt at some cost to others who have picked up the slack, there may be dwindling goodwill for her. Does she really expect a pat on the head?

I didn’t see where she said the other interview is for a school counsellor and I agree @Spongebobette that is really concerning. I don’t think any school should take on a counsellor who isn’t accredited by the BACP. No young person needs a Woo merchant offering magical thinking as a solution to their diffulties.

Having trouble managing exam stress? Why not just manifest 10 A*s in your GCSEs?

What, you didn’t get 3 A*s in your A Levels - you obviously didn’t want it enough.

You got a C and two Ds in your A Levels? That’s because your energy is all wrong. But worry not, you can still have a “career” in network marketing and I can teach you how to get a decent parking* spot in the future just through manifesting it.

*parking spot would have to be for a rainy afternoon in January when there is a World Cup being televised.

This is why people like her are so taken in by ‘recognitions’ and ‘success days’ in MLMs - a walk across a stage once in a while and they’ll work for nothing

perhaps all the sick pay, pension contributions etc she received while off don’t compare with a FB post from an upline calling you a pocket rocket

I saw the story where she said she'd been off sick - I think she said for 11 months? And then she was upset that when she met with her manager and HR she gave her notice and they didn't have anything nice to say which is apparently everything that's wrong with the NHS.
Last time I had someone in my team who went off sick for ages I can't tell you how relieved I was when they gave notice. I would not have had anything nice to say to them (due to their conduct before going on sick but also because I'd been covering their work for months as well as my own!)

Spongebobette · 12/04/2023 07:11

So ex BFF is taking her kids out of school to go to the global rally?

fitgirl26 · 12/04/2023 07:21

I’m on a menopause group and I was searching for posts about collagen as I’m interested in trying it.
I noticed a few comments from someone who has “discovered” a collagen that tastes like Haribo and asking people to pop her a message and I looked at the name - Yawn’s ex BFF.
There are a lot of very vulnerable women in that group and unfortunately they don’t seem to have an anti MLM policy but they ask people not to actively sell products. I assume the “PM me hun” gets round this.
There’s another one who was urging people to join her “Societè” group which after much digging I discovered was LifeVantage.
I guess these groups are rich pickings for the huns.

PieonaBarm · 12/04/2023 15:26

Bruv could do with getting a cloth and giving his Mums window frames a wipe rather than showing us the rain. Earn his keep cos I guarantee he's not paying them a penny for his board and lodgings.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 12/04/2023 17:39

What is the actual point of Bruv?

Nowt - a tragic hanger on.

LeoDiCapricorn · 12/04/2023 18:09

Why did Bruv leave FL? It all seemed v low-key and doesn't seem to be living off his millions ever since

Sugarplum48 · 12/04/2023 18:44

What's the point of any of these blood sucking parasites!! Non of them bring any joy to those they bleed dry including their families

Didn't he go when Castle left and he got that super dooper job which just seemed to be him in a shared office space playing juvenile pranks on people and not doing much work. Then that stopped being mentioned when Castle launched Scamversity and he became Dean of Crayons and moved back to the shed in the garden of doom with Mum and Dad cos Castle clearly isn't paying him enough to run his own flat?

Twentytwentyhindsight · 12/04/2023 18:54

@LeoDiCapricorn Bruv was never anything but an appendage of his sister in FL. She will have placed a few of her recruits under him, enough for him to qualify for a sad yoga mat at GR. Once she jacked it in, it was curtains for him.
As for his secret JOB working for FL, he made a bit of a thing about 'new beginnings' a while back and had a very short-lived job with what appeared to be some sort of comms company. I expect he didn't last very long after they discovered his skills were equivalent to those of a mediocre media studies GCSE student 20 years ago.

CurlsandCurves · 12/04/2023 20:05

@PieonaBarm Dean of Crayons, oh that made me laugh!

YouOKHun · 12/04/2023 20:37

@PieonaBarm Dean of Crayons 🤣🤣.

Bruv’s spent so long tinkering around in the twilight world of MLM he must surely be pretty much unemployable and would struggle to get anything other than something unskilled - though he doesn’t have any record of being consistent at anything. I am sure, if he did make a brief foray into legitimate employment a while back, he will have been immediately overwhelmed and/or found out and dropped kicked out of the door very quickly. He’s clearly not capable of taking over the family firm either and it appears Castle Senior has long since made alternative arrangements (even if he ever thought one of his offspring might be capable).

I get the feeling Bruv is waiting for Castle to strike gold as it’s his only real hope, so he can feed off that rather like he did before as @Twentytwentyhindsight describes. He’s going to have a long wait as no one is going to prop up and position Castle again. At what point do the pair of them give up?
