It must cost a fortune to heat that house in winter. Hope she is on a fixed rate mortgage for a while as I can’t imagine her mortgage is tiny!

Yawn's "projects" are always executed far too quickly as she obviously doesn't do the job properly.

Prepping those floorboards correctly and the painting required should have taken far longer but as usual she would have cut corners and done it on the cheap.

Yes and shows...

Sleaze is boasting about bailiffs threatening to clear their house. I guess he wants the terminally stupid people who follow him (and I'm including his daft mother in that) to think it's some kind of conspiracy against them rather than they are up to their eyes in debt.

PieonaBarm · 02/08/2023 07:59

Sleaze hasn't had his house emptied by bailiffs because he either doesn't have one anymore or there's nothing of any value in it.

He's now banging on about speed limits being a way to control us/make money and he doesn't stick to them. Let's hope he never hits anyone and kills them, as he's soon find out why they're in place.

Wintersgirl · 02/08/2023 09:29

Yes seen it, most people are thinking it's an MLM!

Wintersgirl · 02/08/2023 09:40

She's getting the hump now because quite a few people see right through it! There's a few gullible fools on there thinking it's a legit business calling everyone "haters"

I bet Nurse is posting on there....

Spongebobette · 02/08/2023 09:56

Nurse is to busy having chilled go slow days, going to soft play and getting a tattoo

If the poster is who I think it is, it actually isn't an MLM.
I can see why people would think it is, though!

Meanwhile, I have to say that the FL bots I used to see posting a lot do all seem to be keeping quiet. I wonder how many are silently "retiring" from the biznizz? Would be very interested to see a current top 20!

YouOKHun · 02/08/2023 20:20

@definitelynotabot do you have a good idea who that poster is? I thought it was most likely the usual cookie cutter coaching package targeting [mainly] MLM victims desperate to make the scam work. There are quite a few of those to choose from!

Yes pretty sure , could be wrong though!

Crikeyalmighty · 03/08/2023 11:45

If these idiots spent half as much time on a proper business that doesn't involve finding a new bunch of suckers constantly they could do quite well .

Sugarplum48 · 03/08/2023 23:11

Yawn banging on about her free hours on her primary sunglasses!! You've got free time because you've got fuck all to do!! I'd love to have fuck all to do!!! I go and do a actual very stressful job and earn proper MONEY!! try that you scamming muppet

But also does she think it's particularly unusual that she can take 30 mins to walk during the day? I absolutely do, as can many others 🤷🏼‍♀️ keep up woman, flexible working is pretty common nowadays!

Sugarplum48 · 04/08/2023 14:26

Yet another grotesque money shot picture on insta by yawn. Just stop it!!! I just want to prod her really hard in the forehead whilst repeating STOP IT!!!

BrieOurGuest · 04/08/2023 15:25

I was thinking the same- it's called a lunch break, and is not a particularly novel concept!

YouOKHun · 04/08/2023 16:09

It must be tricky for Yawn to position herself.

How do you talk about time freedom when you can never do what the truly free can do - not bother with continual bolstering of visibility online and have privacy for yourself and your family?

Conversely, how do you sell the idea that you are in charge of a financially successful, busy and dynamic team when you’re constantly telling the world you’ve got total flexibility and, as she said recently, only working an 8 hour week? How do you sell the idea that only the truly dynamic and entrepreneurial get involved in FLP when the parade of victims are clearly anything but?

How do you sell yourself as being financially successful when the reality is there for all to see at Companies House and when you can’t afford to update the accoutrements of MLM success? How do you stay constantly upbeat when the writing is on the wall and you’ve pissed so many people off that no one is going help you as your lies become more and more transparent. How are you going to remember which lies you’ve told?

How do you sell the busy, dynamic, in demand yet totally time free, rich yet humble lifestyle every. Single. Hour. Of. Every. Single. Day? How do you sell optimism when you know you have diminishing, unstable earnings that could be ripped away from you at any moment because you’re not in charge of your financial destiny?

It doesn’t sound like freedom to me, it sounds like a trap.

Spongebobette · 04/08/2023 17:22

Yes it’s like bro g on a hamster wheel and forced to smile the whole time

With all this financial and time freedom, where did the Yawns go for their family summer holiday, or haven’t they gone yet?
