In our constant quest to debunk Rictus previous career claims or history, I've been able to see she was appointed as a co-opted governor. This is from a google search and cites a post on her facebook but unfortunately I'm blocked on FB so can't see the date it was posted or further content. It does list the school and I've checked on their website and she isn't a current governor but it does show Governors who have ended their term of office during the academic years 2021-22 or 2022-23, but she isn't listed or included so it's either before that time.
Those with access to her FB could search "I'm delighted to share that I've recently been appointed as a co-opted governor".

It says the image is under review

@user1471446301 I’d have to look again but I remember seeing that post and I think it was at a school that shut down or merged with another.

Though I understand the need for teachers and ex-teachers to be careful about what they make public I still find it hard to believe that someone who is so ready to mention her alleged previous career is so careful to have absolutely no record anywhere, not even a LinkedIn profile saying “whenever - 2018 AHT at a federation of schools in the North West of England”. It’s very odd in this day and age for someone like her not to have some kind of professional presence. There is nothing for either of them except for the existence of his two dissolved companies. It wouldn’t be unusual for MLM to be the last resort for someone who has spectacularly ballsed up and needs a new “career” direction that needs no references and asks no questions.

Thank you! I wonder why she's not showing up at that school as a previous governor back to 2021.

MrsDilligaf · 09/09/2026 16:22

The school she mentions closed in 2024 so a short lived career as a governor

I agree. know I'm scrabbling about for crumbs but it's just so odd. Both my parents are retired teachers and between them worked in 4 different schools in the same area. They retired 20 years ago, I've just googled them both, they are listed on the schools web site archives as previous staff members and on various memory facebook pages for the schools submitted by students showing class photos etc with them as the teacher and various recollections. These are state secondary schools. Because she is such a show off I can't believe we've found no photos or references, gurning at sports days, school charity events etc on websites or local papers or facebook. They have both airbrushed their history completely and it's so weird.

Yawn is such an arse!

Shes’s posted to say her ‘gym’ is closed for the rest of the week, presumably thinking it makes it look like she’s got loads of free time, when the reality is no one is interested.

If you can’t get people to attend Thursday to Sunday you are screwed! 😂

Spongebobette · 09/09/2026 20:47

‘Closed’? Or has had to close due to not being compliant?

I think she’s trying to prove how much free time she’s got - not realising how pathetic it actually makes her look.

YouOKHun · 09/09/2026 21:25

@user1471446301 Yes Rictus is very odd. The only historical marker I can see is a graduation shot from what looks to be the University of Lindum Colonia (going by the robe colours).

My timeline for her is:
Graduated between 2009-2014
2015 got job as AHT at “biggest school in Rictushire”. If googled will give a town beginning with W in Rictushire but no record at that high school.
2018 c. May. Started plugging away at Forever
2019 Feb. mat leave begins, still botting
16.10.19 Tractor Bot showcases her and says “she’s an AHT on mat leave”.
27.12.19 approx, says she spent the time between Christmas and New Year crying about going back to work.
1.1.20 very approx - Moves into Airbnb house
28.3.20 shares her P45 online showing 29.2.20 as her leaving day.
19.7.20 the caravan makes an appearance
10.4.21 dated CB cheque for c.$3,700 - COVID blip?
13.7.21 she says “3 years ago I left my career behind”, so she is saying she stop teaching in 2018.
14.5.22 dated CB cheque for c.$5,700 - another COVID blip?
2023 began Airbnb in the present location
1.5.23 approx, level 1 qualifier along side Yawn and at Bali implies via dramatic reaction that her CB cheque is large.
2024 no evidence she is in India or has a CB cheque and nothing since unless I’ve missed it.
12.3.25 says it’s 7 years since she left her career behind, implying 2018.

JellySky · 09/09/2026 23:03

Can't believe Yawn is still trying the 'attraction marketing' technique. A PT who's gym is shut for at least 2 week days is not aspirational (also, what if I wanted to start tomorrow or Friday?!) and her marketing reeks of 2016 tactics and some AI chucked in. Theres just no humility or authenticity to her rinse and repeat business routines.

I should say due a couple of days of heavy rain, leaks in the shed, a saggy painted tarpaulin, treacherous decking and a tin shed that will see more leaks than the bot botty ever will.

Thank you! I am in awe of your comprehensive timeline, good work! I've screen shot to save it for when needed! Isn't it odd that her cheques were so low value and yet she was on those 30K Months......

I'm confident at some point we will establish the facts!

Spongebobette · 10/09/2026 10:02

I suspect Mr Rictus has quite the hinterland

user1471446301 · 10/09/2026 10:32

Alert! Homeschool has started a new grift, she was able to sit on her arse doing nothing for the last 12 months which I'm sure wasn't paid for by residual and legacy income but in true bot fashion someone who she respects in the industry has shown her something she can't ignore! omg! I wonder if WW2 will jump on board with her and we will see another power couple to rival wig & Sleeze?

Spongebobette · 10/09/2026 10:48

Urgh so many women asking for info too. She can still pull them in

Yes unfortunately there are still suckers. I contemplated risking my burner to ask if Livegood was still a goer being as it set her family up for life and she was drowning in residual income according to her crazy spec's ticktocks, but I thought all will be revealed soon enough so my burner can live another day.

YouOKHun · 10/09/2026 11:31

@user1471446301 thanks! And isn’t it odd that a person earning £30k a month doesn’t have a limited company? @Spongebobette agree, there is something dodgy about the shadowy Mr Rictus. I suspect they are both living off inheritance and AirBnB. Nothing wrong with that unless you’re pretending it’s all down to the Forever Living business opportunity to trick others into signing up.

YouOKHun · 10/09/2026 11:39

I fear Weird Willy v2 has given Homeschool renewed purpose in life which has translated into renewed grifting energy as well as an urge for breaking and entering other people’s property with her children. It is incredible that anyone is asking Homeschool for info but perhaps many are curious and that’s as far as it goes? I hope so. Weird Willy v2 will no doubt get tangled up in it.

Meanwhile her former spouse continues to shout into the void about being too agreeable.

2 CCJ's have been listed against Choose your failure Ltd @YouOKHun

YouOKHun · 10/09/2026 17:04

@user1471446301 that looks like bad news for the Borings doesn’t it? When the house got repossessed I thought it was more about over extending the property empire but it’s clear from who his creditors are that this disaster has its genesis in Forever Living and the recruitment and promises made to family and friends who put their trust in a bot and believe their glossy exterior. The new company cannot shield his FLP earnings and FLP will want to distance from the pair of them - how can FLP risk either of them having visibility? The botting can’t be paying anything like it did even if they hadn’t been lying low.

anonfortoday1 · 09/09/2026 11:49

Just came across this page properly and have sussed out who the Borings are. Lots and lots of dodgy history there that is both unsurprising but also sad if there were others bamboozled. More of her family were involved than just the parents and a lot of extended family and friends drawn in by the outward glitz and glamour i fear. How do we find out more about the cases and if there were others? Or what the resolution was? It seems to go blank after all those dates. I also don't know how to access the company house information to look up the company names without their names. Any help appreciated.

@anonfortoday1 I am sure the Borings’ damage has reached well beyond her parents :( probably to those less able to fight back. It sounds like you have a better picture of this than I do.

I originally googled him and his MiL and the case popped up on a dodgy site but I could see enough to see there had been multiple sittings. That doesn’t happen over a small amount of money. I don’t know if the final judgement is accessible or if it’s even happened but an indication will be his inevitable appearance in the Gazette. The two CCJ are bad news but whether they’re connected to the in-laws I’m not sure - I doubt they’re the only creditors.

He can’t hide his earnings by pretending Mrs Boring is running the show when it’s obvious she has had nothing to do with the running of the previous company and she will fall at the first hurdle if asked to explain the new set up. I should think insolvency investigators view starting a new company in his wife’s name during a court case when trying to prevent bankruptcy as a boringly predictable and very silly move. They have the power to seize monies paid by FLP into a new company when the paper trail is so bleeding obvious.

Mr Boring thinks he’s clever which is the reason he is where he is now. I don’t think he is clever, just greedy. That has served him well in the pyramid but outside it he just looks like a bit of a flash tit. Any cleverness is offset by Mrs Boring who seems equally greedy and materialistic but also thick as a plank. She’s backed the wrong horse too.

I reckon they owe the inlaws, mortgage company (loss on hospital house), tax man and there is an outstanding charge on the defunct shop for £225,727.09. The redemption date for the charge is now 2 months overdue what a pickle and from him Mr Corporate Accountant!

anonfortoday1 · 10/09/2026 19:20

Crikey, @YouOKHun and @user1471446301 . More bad news. I don't know anything about CCJs and how they work but just did a search and would have to pay to find out more about what they are. Any explanation would be very welcome but is the fact they have 2 against the company significant in as much as meaning more than one creditor? Or does it look like that might be from the property stuff? How long does it take for someone to be declared bankrupt and what does all that mean for their downlines?
I don't know a whole lot more than you but have been on the edge of crossed paths and so once i sussed out who you were talking about a few things fell in to place.
What a mess.
