BOTWATCH 78 - the latest in a long series of threads where we keep an eagle eye on the lies and deceptions practised by MLMs. Unbelievably people are still being hooked in by these schemes where 97% of those who join LOSE MONEY and the top bots are struggling to pretend they are taking it in

I suspect she’s just desperately trying to make a bit of cash by selling the huge amounts of FL stock she was brainwashing into buying to curry favour with Yawn.

And where's Yawn now, eh Nurse? All that lovebombing was just to get you to part with your cash, get Yawn qualified for some short, hectic FL trip abroad and line her pockets.

All that crap she posts about supporting small businesses and I bet she's nowhere to be seen now.

Spongebobette · 12/08/2023 16:05

It was extremely telling that when one of Yawn’s downline was asking for donations to a fund to pay for knee surgery - and was clearly in a lot of pain- Yawn did not give her a penny and nor did anyone of the other big bots

Castles new (to them) camper has broken down. A clutch for one of those won't be cheap, plus they'll have to find somewhere able to do it on such a big vehicle, and they'll need to go somewhere whist it's done like a hotel. Oh dear.

Yawns 5 steps to management...does that include ridiculous eyebrows that my poor husband had to see in tesco with the brow beaten Mr yawn trailing behind her with the trolley or the absurd bollox that she's still desperately trying to flog to keep herself in fake tan....

I reckon the last time my DH came to Tesco with me was Christmas 2019. Is she or he not capable of going on their own?

Sugarplum48 · 13/08/2023 07:43

@PieonaBarm l honestly don't think she has the capability to do anything without her pitiful little sidekick. I love my husband but if l had to take him everywhere with me...jeez no!!

Sugarplum48 · 13/08/2023 07:46

Anyone remember when yawn put that big celebration post up congratulating herself on having 6k plus "fans".. where oh where have those adoring followers gone....funny what you can buy on line to gas light isn't it!!!

BSintolerant · 13/08/2023 07:46

To think Castle used to live in a rented “castle” and now she’s in an unreliable camper van. Sums up Forever Living and its aftermath perfectly. A new clutch and a luxury hotel will be a drop in the ocean for a seven-figure earner running a successful business @PieonaBarm. I would’ve thought someone as successful as Castle would be able to afford a brand new vehicle without a dodgy clutch, or even an actual castle.

I remember it well! Interesting how it’s changed to, “Look at how many magazines I’ve lied to about how I lost weight!!! (They don’t need to know about Ozempic or Saxenda… let’s pretend it’s Forever Living so I can claw back some cash and garage space)!!!”

A certain class of magazine invites stories from readers because it’s cheaper than employing journalists to hunt them out. That’s why they’re full of tales like “I had sex with the ghost of a goat and now I’m expecting kittens!”

I wouldn’t want a man getting under my feet, as it were. Is he her designated driver for some reason?

I had wondered about that. Does she ever drive?

NormalForNuneaton · 13/08/2023 11:40

When I've seen them out and about in the white rangey it's always him driving. I've never seen her on her own other than when she came out of the hairdressers but even then he was parked up in the no parking/loading bay opposite waiting for her.

Re: Nurse ...I can't believe she debated cancelling a scan appointment because it was such short notice (2 days). All she's got planned is a "chill day"/can't be bothered to cook/might do a bit of her course type of day (like every other day then) so it's not as though she's got stuff to rearrange.

YouOKHun · 13/08/2023 12:01

I think Yawn does drive and uses the small car which is always hidden behind the Rangey The Rangey is now too expensive to drive and probably too unreliable as well but they can’t afford to change it for a new or newer car of suitably naff “prestige”. I think the Rangey only gets an outing when Yawn’s doing something that she wants to put on social media. Mr Yawn provides two functions, he leaves her hands free and can deal with the AA so she doesn’t have to get her flesh coloured outfits grubby in whichever lay-by the Rangy manages to limp to.

We only see the rather pathetic highlights of Yawn’s business empire so it gives the impression she never drives. I did wonder at one point if she had been banned but I think local botwatchers had seen her at the wheel.

PieonaBarm · 13/08/2023 12:44

The thing is, much as I like Mr Pie, and tbf he is my favourite person, I don't want him coming shopping with me because it costs 3 times as much! How on earth their relationship has survived so long with them in each others pockets I have no idea. I love working 2 weekends in 6 as it means I get days off on my own and so does he when I'm working. The Yawns have no time to themselves, I'd find it suffocating.

SnoogyWoo · 13/08/2023 13:51

These multi millionaire business owners lifestyles are just laughable now. If you have a limited company with some actual money in they would get a new rangey on a lease every 3 years.

Sugarplum48 · 13/08/2023 13:59

Also if you want your business to keep expanding and grow then surely you would be creative, pushing fresh innovative content on your socials...not the same dull very repetitive crap that the likes of yawn and her adoring magazine fans churn out ALL THE TIME.

NormalForNuneaton · 13/08/2023 14:21

I wonder how much Yawn has devalued the thatch by with her DIY "home improvements" and avoiding the real issues like rotten, leaky thatch and damp?

Looking at her post about painting all the old beams and woodwork cream and then waxing with brown wax makes me cringe. Why not get a company to sandblast it back to natural? Oh yes, I forgot .... money, or lack of.

NormalForNuneaton · 13/08/2023 14:27

Uber's very quiet these days? Wonder what's happening in her world other than not being able to sell her house yet?
(I notice it's still on the market for £1.25million)

SnoogyWoo · 13/08/2023 15:27

Yes Yawn, sitting with your eyes closed dreaming of being on your dream holiday is all you can do.

YouOKHun · 13/08/2023 16:17

Uber is currently being her own best holiday home customer. Her posts are sporadic on FB but there was more on Insta last time I looked. There are also a couple of big holes in her social media timeline where references to her expensive wedding, marriage and even more expensive divorce have been deleted. I get the sense her heart isn’t in it.

She probably has quite a hole in her finances and no way of replenishing her cash. She is one of the rare ones who has made a lot of money in FLP but her diversification hasn’t gone that well recently and she has high expenses that match her high earnings. Now her earning power is considerably diminished but not her costs. I expect she is worried.

Yawn's thatch is fucked.

Having driven past a couple of weeks ago, yep, I can confirm that it is, indeed, fucked

Sunsea21 · 13/08/2023 21:23

I imagine her Income is universal credit. The house, although 3 bedrooms, is a small urban mid terrace house- not expensive. She doesn’t seem to have a lot of outgoings aside from the “coaching” etc. if she is on uc she will have a certain amount of time for her business to start to make a profit before she is expected to look for work.

Thanks to the close up shot of the thatch it’s easy to see that it isn’t just past it’s best but accurately described as completely fucked. I would not like to have that potential cost looming into view. If they don’t do something with it soon they will probably have problems with insurance too. They’ll need to find c.£50k for a replacement thatch. Oh dear. It’s not just the roof that’s absolutely fucked is it Yawn?
