It’s crazy! I’ve said before I knew Uber at the time she joined Forever Shite.
She has managed to keep long term friends from before then- but they say she makes money by conning others.
I was never close to her but stopped contact around time she joined.

Is beautifulyu an mlm? The person I know who is part of the knock off perfume company is now constantly posting about amazing supplements as well, all with the usual dm me, dm me hun, it's amazing! OMG, OMG stuff. Today was the first time she's put a name of it publicly.

MaybeItsJustTimeToStop · 16/01/2024 19:14

Just done some digging and yep the affiliate scheme with reward trips etc. I can't believe she's joined another one 😩

Crikey I thought that was long gone.. how do these companies keep going, selling crap ?

HouseofHolbein · 17/01/2024 08:06

Oriflame was big back in the 80's. I remember going to parties where they demonstrated the stuff. It was like an upmarket Avon at the time.

Anyone remember Pippa Dee? Kids clothes also on a party model? Tbh at least back then you only got asked to host a party not to become a consultant...

YouOKHun · 17/01/2024 10:31

I remember my best friend’s mother dealing in Oriflame. It used to have pale pick packaging for everything. I think of it as the Scandinavian Avon, though I think it’s Swiss owned now.

Their products are made in India, China and Poland and now also in Russia as they were happy to trade with Russia when they started a manufacturing agreement with a country most were avoiding. Arbonne’s parent company has also been happy to ignore Russia’s behaviour in Ukraine as well.

Crikeyalmighty · 17/01/2024 12:54

@HouseofHolbein I remember pips Dee and oriflame well!! Actually I quite liked some of the products of both of these -

Crikeyalmighty · 17/01/2024 12:58

I really don't understand these intelligent women being taken in by all this humph and straining friendships - can only presume some are actually a bit thick and also shallow when it comes to friendship

Thing is most would make far more if they did 10 to 20 hours admin a week WFH

BangingOn · 17/01/2024 13:00

Pippa Dee has made me think of LuLaRoe which seems to be hanging on despite all the lawsuits and controversy. I was a member of a very candid Facebook group of LuLaRoe watchers and ex-consultants but I can’t see it on my groups list anymore.

Nurse manifested a car part

is there no end to what you can do with manifestation?

BSintolerant · 17/01/2024 19:26

Let me guess: did she manifest the tool who usually drives it?

She seems to be struggling to manifest the motivation to exercise though!

Week 1 and one day it was too wet and muddy to go for a walk at the country park even though they'd already driven there and yesterday it was too cold to park the car a bit further away and walk to the shops so she parked in the multistorey.

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 17/01/2024 20:57

Weird Willy has gone OFF re his kids. Apparently Homeschool keeps reporting him to SS.
20 odd women telling him how awful she is. I wonder what the real story is?

Spongebobette · 17/01/2024 21:08

It sounds like an absolutely horrible situation and those poor kids in the middle of it all (hopefully they are unaware)

However, him using it as a way to attract people to take his ‘free course’ is jarring

MaybeItsJustTimeToStop · 17/01/2024 22:33

How do people not see how pyrimidey posts like yawns 'know three people' posts are?!

YouOKHun · 17/01/2024 23:07

On Weird Willy’s post I think I saw their argument was ultimately about money. I wonder if she feels she kept him very nicely when she had a brief success in FLP (which she pissed away pretty quickly) and now all he can provide is a percentage of his vegetable delivery earnings and a percentage from his coaching empire = big fat zero. She’s definitely an angry woman.

I’m sure Homeschool is ruthless and happy to manipulate anyone for a pay day, that’s obvious from her conduct in FLP. As for WW, seeing the sinister control he seemed to exert over her in the dying days of their MLM dream and relationship, his followers would be wise not to take his cheery, zany, be-dungareed “kind man” persona at face value. what a pair.

ticktock19 · 17/01/2024 23:16

Yawn has just posted on insta that she's spent a freezing cold night in the tent with her team. They're all wrapped up in coats so I can't imagine how much fun that training evening was

BSintolerant · 17/01/2024 23:41

Sounds like Yawn’s living the dream freezing her tits off.

On the upside, if she freezes them off then that'll be another couple of pounds off for her. #lost3678432stone

YouOKHun · 18/01/2024 00:52

Yawn’s accounts are available at CH. That loan isn’t getting any smaller.

BSintolerant · 18/01/2024 00:57

@PieonaBarm 🤣 She might be okay if she’s wearing ankle warmers. According to previous discussions (and if Companies House is anything to by) she hasn’t got any assets worth freezing.

Spongebobette · 18/01/2024 01:33

Hmm the Director’s Loan is bigger!

definitelynotabot · 18/01/2024 06:20

Sure is.
Nor an accountant.so numpty question.... how many years can you run these DLs for? Indefinitely?

YouOKHun · 18/01/2024 09:07

@definitelynotabot not a numpty question at all. I recall, a few years ago, that when we had a DL at one point (for much less than Yawn’s!) it was done very much as a temporary measure for a specific reason and our accountant (who is part of a company of the same size as the firm the FLP bots use) was very clear about its short term use. So I have the same question, why does yawn have a massive DL that gets bigger each year and rolls from year to year?
