That’s the one!!!

SnoogyWoo · 01/07/2024 12:01

Yawn, people in network marketing make 10 times more than people in 9-5 jobs. Tell that to the 99% of people who lose money in MLMs.

Spongebobette · 01/07/2024 12:04

That’s an outright lie

YouOKHun · 01/07/2024 12:54

I think since she has been told that she can’t make very specific claims that contribute to the spotlight being drawn to FLP’s dodgy conduct, she has decided that her outrageous lies need to be slightly more general and vague. A lie is still a lie and has the power to mislead people. Something should be done about people like her but the blame still seems to be placed on the victims who sign up, not on the people who knowingly lie every day.

Yawn looks like she's spent all night crying. There's something going on it's just we've not worked it out yet

Spongebobette · 01/07/2024 14:54

I must admit I’m a bit confused - they have adult children who live at home and the only thing that needs doing is walking and feeding some dogs? Why is this such a big deal and ‘not as simple as that’?

notgettinganyyounger · 01/07/2024 15:33

'Don't tell people more than they need to know. Respect your privacy' on yawns list!
Apart from every teeny aspect of your life, photos of home, car, children, food, trips, coffee shops, zoom meetings, clothes, decorating, gardening, exercises, dogs et al.
Oh so private aren't you 🙄

Spongebobette · 01/07/2024 16:10

I think she actually means that when choosing what to share you carefully curate and edit (and lie)

LeoDiCapricorn · 01/07/2024 17:18

I don't know why this delay is such a massive deal to Yawn. If you're time rich you can totally spend extra time in CanneS. Something smells fishy - and it's not overpriced Marine Collagen.

My neighbour was stuck overseas when the Icelandic volcano erupted one Easter. She was over there an extra week and totally made the best of it. I was feeding the cats for her - I just carried on with it until she got back

YouOKHun · 01/07/2024 17:27

Welsh bot says they have a contract to supply herby band-aid to a famous high street chemist. I don’t want to sound negative about what is not an MLM (though the product is just a wellness gimmick) but Welsh bot would be unwise to think this is the guaranteed turning point and the answer to all the FLP related troubles.

If they press on and produce the quantities the retailer requires, get paid what the retailer is prepared to pay and wait for payment for as long as a massive retailer takes, she may find it’s not sustainable. Will anyone buy them from the retailer, and if they do, will they buy them more than once? They’re not downlines, they have lots of choice about how they chuck money away!

Crikey she really does does look all puffy eyed as if she's either not slept or cried all night.

I'm surprised she didn't wear her sunglasses to hide that less than perfect look.

She says she's got 2 grown up children, their partners and parents at home who can pick up the pieces so why the dramatics?

Pre-mobile phones, internet etc I once had a flight cancelled due to snow in Germany but still managed to sort out someone feeding my cats for longer, get another flight, stay in a hotel etc ON MY OWN without tears and tantrums

hurlyburlygirly · 01/07/2024 17:38

Has yawn got heatstroke? My best mate earns almost £200k in her 9-5 job. The irony is that if yawn actually got a real job in sales in a proper business she'd probably do well.

And is fierce having a pop at castle in her post?

It's all a bit tetchy out in the land of network marketing bollocks. 😬

YouOKHun · 01/07/2024 19:37

@hurlyburlygirly I suspect Fierce is taking a swipe at Castle, though let’s face it, they all have a new best friend every fortnight and then some kind of falling out or fade out and the bff name is never mentioned again. I went straight to castle’s feed and see nothing other than banging on about the transformational coaching certificate Scam she’s attached herself to. Fierce probably doesn’t like that.

I’m surprised Yawn’s video made the cut as she looks very much like she has been crying. I think she just can’t really cope with any kind of real world pressure. Or the spoiling of her heavily edited life as presented on SM. She’s the classic big fish in a tiny pond, she can’t cope outside it.

Unless of course, this extended “romantic break” is a much bigger disaster than she wants to own up to because it’s costing them money they really haven’t got, and now Mr Yawn has lost a day of earnings.

I agree @PieonaBarm something’s up, it has to be more than a delayed flight.

SnoogyWoo · 01/07/2024 20:35

Yawns financial year ended yesterday, maybe she is stressed because the bed and breakfasting has caught up with them and they need to put a plan in place to either pay it back or pay a rather large tax bill. Just a thought.

Spongebobette · 01/07/2024 20:40

Honestly all the emoting and ‘I’m coming home’

it was 24 hours extra in France not an extended exile in Timbuktu

Yawn is such a bloody lightweight isn't she? It's France Yawn....FRANCE, you've not just been given a King's pardon to be released from a Bangkok prison ffs. Get a bloody grip woman, it's embarrassing

Contraryjane · 01/07/2024 22:13

Yawn never travels anywhere that isn’t organised by Forever Fibbing. So left to her own devices she hasn’t a clue what to do.
She's incapable of problem solving, hence the “stranded and homeless” dramas.
Poor Mr Yawn must take the brunt of it all. Not that I have much sympathy for him.

BSintolerant · 01/07/2024 23:03

I agree, there’s definitely something else going on with Yawn. My theory is this: Yawn unwittingly manifested dark forces when she went to Much Marcle the other week for her Sunday stroll. The presence of a Forever Living bot in the birthplace of Fred West (someone who isn’t really associated with living, forever or otherwise) has unleashed all manner of sinister disturbances which has shaken Yawn to her core to the extent that she can feel it in her thatch.

If she takes her next Sunday Stroll in Gloucester all hell will break loose if she gets stranded in the bus station. 😉

Spongebobette · 02/07/2024 05:13

What is the impact of missing a couple of doses of Ozempic?

BSintolerant · 02/07/2024 06:24

Interesting theory @Spongebobette. Google says that sudden withdrawal can cause previous appetite levels and cravings to return, so anyone who hasn’t dealt with the psychology behind their eating habits is likely to return to their old ways and weight.

BangingOn · 02/07/2024 07:24

Ozempic is a weekly dose, not daily, and taking it a day or two late wouldn’t be a big deal. She might be on Rybelsus, which is a daily tablet, but again you can miss a day or two without issue.

Something is definitely going on though, she seemed like she was trying to get Mr Yawn onside with all the truck talk and the nervous sideways smile so perhaps he’s missing something important at work.

Have I missed her saying why she didn’t get the bus with Yawn and ex-BFF?

OhMyGiddyAunt · 02/07/2024 07:43

All very fishy 🤔

Got home at 3.30am but had to be up at 6am as she's a parent (kids both drive and have their own cars so no lifts to give), a business owner (then surely you can pick and choose when you do your "10 hours work" for the week) and dog owner (get the kids to feed the dogs/let them out/walk them).

Spongebobette · 02/07/2024 09:42

Fishier and fishier

SunflowerVibes · 02/07/2024 09:57

I’m not a dog person so perhaps a bit clueless, just wondered, as with cats, is it not good practice to neuter dogs for health reasons etc? (Having seen Yawn’s post about her big dog being “on her period”.
