It’s been said before but yawn really needs to invest in some bras which fit and support.
or stop photoshopping her pics so that they end up by her waist.

The running/exercising without a decent sports bra has no doubt not helped

Yawn really is trying to sell the " its not for money" angle on her insta. I can't wait to see those company house records

Spongebobette · 07/01/2024 18:05

Yes it will be interesting to see if she’s repaid any of the 207k director’s loan (which increased from 190k the previous year)

NormalForNuneaton · 07/01/2024 19:44

"Thank you for my gorgeous gift Uber, I absolutely love the colour …. You know me well"

😂That is so NOT Yawn's colour

The demographic in the draughty marquee looks decidedly older than other recent events, although it may just be coincidence of more older woman within the shot.

YouOKHun · 07/01/2024 21:26

@BangingOn good point and I don’t think it is a coincidence at all. Looking at any of their recent events the audience reflects the aging profile of the top bot cohort and their reach and appeal (other middle aged people, and not many of them!). This must be a concern as company capable of growth or just survival must have something appealing to offer under thirties too surely? However hard they try to appear dynamic FLP looks and feels like an afternoon at the bingo (with less chance of winning).

I just don’t think young people, for example aged 20-30 (or slightly older) would sign up to MLM in the way they may have done even 10-15 years ago. There are many ways of working flexibly and remotely, there are much cooler, cheaper brands readily available, different ways of using social media which FLP clearly doesn’t get and much much more cynicism and awareness of MLM. The white Rangey/Michael Kors model of success has no appeal. And as Mini Yawn probably found out, if you do get caught up in FLP absolutely none of your contempories can afford it and none of them is the least bit interested.

Gosh that Event in a Tent looks tedious.
And very small scale.

So even on a freezing cold January day, still not allowed inside the Manor? Says it all.

NormalForNuneaton · 07/01/2024 22:31

Regarding the older demographic, do you think its maybe because younger people are much more savvy to scams like MLMs?

If you spend a reasonable amount of time on social media you're likely to see individuals/companies being called out for trying to scam people.

Spongebobette · 07/01/2024 22:37

Good point about older people being less alert to MLMs

Sugarplum48 · 07/01/2024 22:43

The younger crowd don't want a bar of these mlms as they see them for what they are. The content creation you see from the young ones does not involve the pyramid rubbish

Great, very helpful of Forever Living, makes it easier to swerve the bots when I’m travelling!

Hahaha....so true, no jet ski or speedboat for the bots though

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 08/01/2024 13:57

They used to get targeted on 4ccs - 5 is a lot more dosh/C9's in the garage. What's mindblowing is that in order to get the 'top' prize of a black hold case, you have to have been 5cc's consistent for TWO YEARS. How is that remotely appealing to anyone?!

Spongebobette · 08/01/2024 14:00

Only the hard of thinking will see that as a worthwhile reward

It’s more like the booby prize on “3, 2, 1!” ✌️

Twentytwentyhindsight · 08/01/2024 14:38

2nd Prize would be two each of those hideous pieces tat.

I keep seeing adverts about Castle on SM. One advert is to become an in demand virtual assistant and the other a nutrition coach? What? She’s an expert on both? Sorry if this has been mentioned before. I don’t come here that often and haven’t RTFT. Can anyone clue me in on 2jags?

YouOKHun · 08/01/2024 15:13

It seems a very depressing, time consuming and expensive way of obtaining an Aliexpress suitcase with a Flappy Pigeon stuck on the front.

I think 2Jags is the one who was tagged in a photo with Yawn the other day. In the photo they both got bags with their initials on.

I'm not 100% sure though.

Also interesting to see the 'lovely' monogrammed bags from Uber. Whereas a few years ago they were Mulberry/Prada; this year's thank you gift can be widely found for £34.99.

YouOKHun · 08/01/2024 15:55

@dickiedavisthunderthighs yes, I had a good look to see if Uber had found a bargain designer bag at Bicester Village but no logo, which must be upsetting for Yawn and 2Jags considering they’ve been grifting harder than ever before over the last year. All that effort to end up with a primary coloured body bag.

I’ve had a quick look on Vinted under the “Shattered Dreams” category and found this bargain (only used once). The seller is also selling off two “how to make it big in NWM” books, one of the books by Yawn’s new best friend from the Turkey Ego Trip. I wonder how long ago the Vinted seller was in that tent being encouraged to purchase the dream?
