Yawn is sounding desperate.

Sorry, that was far too long…

Not too long at all. Thanks for taking the time to post.

It’s Wednesday evening and Yawn has provided us with 5mins of entertainment. Did anyone else play “pairs” when they were children. It was a card game.
Every time she puts up her motley crew I am compelled to play pairs.

@Angrymum22 is there something in the water in the Yawnsville area because there seem to be an unusually high number of twins?

Loving your (and Spike's) work @BSintolerant

Uber too.

Uber would regularly not post for days at a time and then it would often be non-FL posts.

She must have had a kick up the arse from either the new Greek head of FL UK or reality (maybe money is tight now she's split with her DH?) because there are multiple posts and stories daily at the moment.

terrywynne · 25/01/2024 07:26

Uber also recently did a post promoting the same agency that Yawn did her tiktok training with (I wonder what the connection is that got that agency into working with MLM bits).

I wonder how token Man bot who used to be in the top 3 of UK rankings without any noticeable social media footprint is holding up? Bloodsucker is clearly holding on (albeit at a lower global status than before) without being reduced to social media desperation.

MrsDilligaf · 25/01/2024 08:47

I was pondering last night about the number of FLP pyramids (sorry...success lines) n the UK.

Obviously Bloodsucker is at the top of a very big one, but who else?

I saw a post with Bloodsucker, Yawn and Uber, so assume they are all in the same pyramid.

I would love to see an up-to-date version of the downline charts because I am so nosy

Crikeyalmighty · 25/01/2024 10:30

@BSintolerant love the poem! My H met spike several times and interviewed him once for 6 hours!! Spike loved the absurdity of life and if he was around now I'm sure would love to get his head around MLM - we know Roger McGough too- he's keen on absurdity as well. The thing I can't get over is why do they just not get a decent paying part time digital marketing job and maybe a bit of paid 'influencing' on the side if they need that ego boost- they clearly have the digital skills. I'm sure they would earn more ! I can't imagine any of them are making more than £20k a year at this these days

Spongebobette · 25/01/2024 11:53

I really don’t see how you can support a family with an income from FL unless you have a big active downline

Norma27 · 25/01/2024 13:47

Apparently yawn has qualified for India global rally- as have many of her team. Looking forward to seeing who- we all know the answers that none of them have.

We are a rural county and there is some interbreeding in the more remote areas ( I am not joking about this). I suspect that Yawns lack of awareness of other peoples superior intelligence is just another indication of her terminal narcissism. Either that or she needs to go to Specsavers.

When bots talk about things happening in their team I am always sceptical. Do they mean their team now most people read it ie: their downline. Or do they mean the team they are part of IE: could be their upline, uplines upline, a side line... I agree an illustration of how all the bots connect would be illuminating and would reveal how few are actually at the top.

Uber has got her daughter a starter pack now she's an adult because it's family tradition(even though she didn't start her business properly until 10 years after her mum got her the pack). Does make me wonder about Mother Uber, and what happened to make Uber stop resisting being dragged in.

....and don't forget Uber's sister who has stopped posting about FL altogether now and erased all mentions of it from her facebook.

I think the final nail in the coffin was a sad yoga mat cheque she received - the moment she unrolled it was captured on film and she clearly wasn't a happy bunny 😂

MrsDilligaf · 25/01/2024 18:09

Yawn is getting Chairman's Bonus L1.

I am assuming that this means that she gets a fantastic and generous gift of about 37p?

I wish the bots accounts were detailed and showed how much their bonuses are - presumably they have to go through the "business"

It is very interesting though that Uber and Yawn use the same accountant, and that the registered office and the accountants address are the same. hmmmm

Angrymum22 · 25/01/2024 19:46

I am so looking forward to “Yawn does India”. It’s super hot in April and everyone ends up with Delhi belly, well apart from my DS who was there this time last year. He moaned about being constipated despite playing Russian roulette with the tap water. My DF was the only other person I know who visited India and didn’t succumb to the runny tummy so maybe it’s hereditary.
The hotels FL are using are all by the airport so super noisy and miles from the city centre, so maybe they will be spared the “real “ India since FL don’t really give them much opportunity to do anything.
The flight is a little less gruelling than Bali last year but cattle class is cattle class.
After last years disappearing act, I wonder if Yawn will bother. New Delhi is interesting but it’s not a destination for beach lovers more a cultural trip and we all know how cultured Yawn is.
I do hope she reads this and we get a reaction.

Angrymum22 · 25/01/2024 19:52

Quick search suggests that she earned a 4 figure bonus.

Spongebobette · 25/01/2024 20:24

I very much doubt it will be enough to pay the tax owing on her director’s loan

Twentytwentyhindsight · 25/01/2024 21:49

Unless FLP bonuses are somehow index-linked, I expect her bonus is at the lower end of 4 figures, equating perhaps to a fairly average monthly paycheck, not an awful lot to show for a year's hard botting...
For that reason we can assume she will be bleating on about the fact she is getting a cheque, but we will not be getting any photos showing her gurning with a mock up cheque showing the actual amount.
I expect the 'opt out' money or whatever they call the lump sum FLP hands out in exchange for not going on the 'trip of a lifetime' is of a similar order, and her finances will direct her to take that instead, even though the combined sums are unlikely to pay the mortgage for more than a couple of months, let alone make a scratch on either the outstanding director's loan or the money needed to fix her mangy thatch.
Chairman's Bonus this year will provide neither an opportunity for a cheque photo, nor an exotic location snapshot, even less a chance to sort out her dire finances...
Absolutely nothing to attract the new victims downlines she desperately needs to even maintain the current shite state of affairs.
If Mr Yawn was not beavering away at his J.O.B., they'd probably have lost the home by now, not that they have much equity in it... I do wonder how he feels about Yawn projecting this image of huge success due to her amazing business skills while the only reason the house they cannot afford to stop falling apart is still theirs is the hours of genuine work he is putting in, all the while knowing that the whole thing will hit the buffers when the reckoning comes (and it will) about the tax owed on the director's loan...
Can't imagine a nicer person for it to happen to when it all goes very publicly tits up.

Spongebobette · 25/01/2024 22:32

It amazes me that HMRC hasn’t gone after these bed and breakfasted directors loans

Token Man Bot is a separate line .

TBH though the rest is pretty much all Bloodsucker lines. Or was back in my day. Doubt it has changed. Just all vastly shrunken.

Yep usually low 4 figs.

How come she is still level 1 after so many years?! Hardly meteoric is it . Not just her waistline that has reduced.

Will be very telling what happens with Uber's this year.

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 26/01/2024 13:04

Oh dear, it doesn't look like next weekend's 'Leap to London' FL botwashing fest is selling. Big pushes on the various FB pages, and now the head honcho has posted a video on the UK page pushing the bots to buy, saying he's now going. The space they've booked is HUGE.

MrsDilligaf · 26/01/2024 13:19

Uber's house is back on the market....wonder how long it will be before Yawn has to sell.

NormalForNuneaton · 26/01/2024 13:30

Did anyone see any photos of the audience at the Manchester event from a couple of nights ago?

I've only seen photos of the presenters , none of the poor suckers that sat through it.

Strategic move if there weren't many there?
