    I've had a family member recently sign up to one of these Multi Level Marketing jobs selling various health products and now I'm required for a chat.
    'Required for a chat'?

    Is that how it was worded?
    If it was, all thoughts of diplomacy would have left my brain immediately. ;)

    I would just say 'thank you but I'm not interested and I never will be interested. I wish you well but 'no'.

    I would hope that your relative would take that as final but if not, you may have to be more firm.

    I have to ask - how do you use AV on hair?!

    ACtually I used it when I had a really dry scalp. I put it onto my scalp and left it for around an hour or two before I washed my hair. Dry scalp gone! I've also used it for dry skin and as after sun. However, I only use the stuff from the health food shop which is 95% Aloe Vera and very close to the stuff you get from the actual plant.

    I have an invite to one of these things tonight something to do with flogging electric and gas to your friends and family, I am going to the pub instead as I have a far better chance of making money on the quiz machine than their scam.

    I did attend one of the Herbalife meetings, what I found particularly infuriating was their testimonials, when went like this:

    I was 20 seconds away from having my house repo'd due to losing job, wife leaving with the kids then I discovered MLM and now I drive a Bentley and the wife has 3 horses and I have emerald status in the MLM, and I know I can't state this officially as we don't do any clinical trials, but by drinking aloe and noni juice shakes daily my cancer disappeared yay!
