Fernibops

[Rosie Tatler]

Here's what has me wondering.........What happened to that friend of hers that she spent so much time with when she moved there - the people with the boat? The woman whose family they spent summer vacation with in Morzine. I think Fern is the godmother to this woman's small child, yet she has disappeared from Fern's vlogs and social media.

But you know who's social media she hasn't disappeared from? This Rachel Ward person. Rachel has shown holiday parties or afternoon teas with a group of people in the past week or two, thanking this woman for a great time in her Instagram stories, and there was no Fern in sight at these events. Also, this woman doesn't seem to have social media any longer - looks as though she's deleted her Instagram page.

Aah yes the one that was always drinking wine and leaving the nanny to look after the child all the time !
Prob pissed off about comments about herself here !
Most extremely rich people I know don't have any social media presence and ask not to be included in other peoples posts because they are classy and or they have been advised from a PR / security point of view . Many have employed “ people” to clean up the internet about them too .

That vlog of the Carlton was a bit tragic ! I’ve stayed there with work , it really isn't that fancy , those two sitting there like princesses saying how reasonable the prices are , tone deaf !!

One of the costs they mentioned was a poolboy . I mean that's only a cost because they wanted to have a poolboy. With Fern not working and that pool being small, that's a job she could have herself.
I think Ryan has watched too many 'are you awake' video's. Someone even mentioned it in the comments, like Ryan gets it... he's awake

 

[M&MsMom]

They have just returned from the UK and Fern has had so much filler put into her cheeks that she can hardly move her face and her eyes have disappeared!!

Thank you! I wondered what happened! I watched her vlog from last Sunday, after not having watched in quite awhile. I kept wondering what happened to her face! It looked like she had something done to her lips, like she couldn't close them or totally changed the shape. Really not great looking.

I agree. The apartment is awful, one sofa and a 2nd hand wooden repainted rocking chair!! That's not even enough seating for them let alone if anyone else comes to visit. What they gotta do? Sit on the urine stained tiled floor? I noticed a little fan heater in the corner of the living room. Must be cold in there, what happend to the under floor heating? Not warm enough or can't afford to turn it on.
They waste so much money, how much did they spend on their recent IKEA visit on bits and bobs for the kids? How many pairs of tights did she buy Nancy from a ladedah shop, only for Nancy to not even say a thank you. How much is she wasting on manicures and fillers and botox in Cannes?

They've never had their priorities straight. I reckon the flat will have to wait till next summer when when construction is supposed to stop then Ryan can get the men to work on the house when they're supposed to be having their summer break.

Her dad was bang on when he recently visited and said it'll still be like this in 20 years time, and Fern countered no no we're fast movers us. I think her dad knows full well.

I love how this started as a rave thread and then quickly progressed into a place to rant about what a daftie Fern is I can’t stand Nancy. She’s an entitled little brat. Definitely loves consumerism that one!

I Hope Ryan realises that she's obviously struggling living out of a suitcase. It suits him and his needs but doesn't suit her. She's devastated at them not securing the house because she's desperate for some normality and I don't blame her.

I felt really sorry for her when they didn't secure that house. They are competing with cash rich buyers so they may have to compromise a bit to find the next property. Even if they find one, houses in France often take 3 months to go through so they are facing a long winter in a caravan. Not my idea of fun

Tbh I dont why she bothers with you tube and puts so much effort in to it as well as exposing her children and family to strangers on YT social media etc

It can’t be for the money , she averages about 8k views a week at around £4 per thousand views so say £ 32 ! That wouldn’t even keep her in the good stuff whatever that is this week ! Honey , Collagen, protein powder, goats cheese , olive oil etc etc

Her twin friend looks like she has a drink problem , always drinking and looking pissed holding her little baby ! Not a good look !

I think they like the attention. She's been on TV in the past, on morning TV talking about how much she spends on designer clothes for her daughter and " Don't tell the bride "
I wonder what the story is with her friend ? She seems very glam and not short of a Bob

 

[Anicecuppa]

Did she? I didn't see that. Very strange as she goes to great lengths to delete anything even remotely controversial from her comments on insta and especially from her YouTube. She meticulously deletes comments.

Disappointing that she deletes comments. Not so down to earth after all

I was watching a vlog the other day where Cannes was described at the “tacky Dubai of France, full of wannabes, and people living there pretending to be rich while drowning in debt”. Made me think of our Fern straight away.

 

[Libbub]

She's outdone herself on stupidity levels in the new video...

"I did the train, which is really tricky, like doing the train in Europe, because you have to know your stops, like you look at the board and it tells you you're going somewhere else to where you're going, you really have to know all your stops, and listen and look, so that was a challenge"

She got a train from one major European city (Nice) to another (Pisa) and had to listen for the announcement 'The next stop is Pisa'.

Jesus wept.

How does she think most of us survive commuting on a daily basis?

Yeah well she doesn't do such mundane things like go to work.

 

[Rosie Tatler]

Yes, I agree with all you've said!
However, I do think they've had some sort of a falling out. When Fern and Ryan's bid on that house they wanted so badly didn't materialize, the last we saw of this couple was on Fern's vlog, with them having dinner at their home, shortly after they lost the bid. Over the last year or so, I've occasionally looked at this person's Instagram page and saw posts about endless partying on the boat, in different restaurants, and Fern and Ryan were never present. I forgot all about it until I looked at Rachel Ward's page recently, saw at least two different party situations with this person and, again, Fern was not present. I even went to this person's Instagram page, and she was still up and posting the holiday tea at the time....Rachel Ward was there, this person went all around the table and there was no Fern in sight! I'd say in the last week or two is when this lady deleted her Instagram page.

Maybe Fern and Ryan and didn't appreciate their "consumerism" - LOL!!

Aah Interesting, Ferns daughter and the other woman’s daughter seemed to be good friends too , strange !

Bet the nouveau riche ex pat english community is just full of gossips , not much else to do between botox and filler appointments !!

 

[Freesia54]

I disagree. She's now living permanently in France. She SHOULD learn the language. She's made zero effort on that front. I mean only the other day she pointed out that she hadn't had her nails done since moving to France as she couldn't tell the nail tech what she wanted.
Agreed they only seem to mix with other ex pats. Shame really.
French women generally have an understated classiness about them.

Sorry... I'll rephrase... I personally think she should learn to speak the language given that she is living in the country. She however may not feel the need given that she has inhouse translators and usually has one of them is in tow when she is shopping.... she should definitley learn the french for Gorgeousness... (is that even a word)...

I do feel since they sold the house the content has suffered massively. They don't do their Fridays out now, which made for good content as invariably they went somewhere interesting, which is ironic as the whole reason they sold the house when they did was to make a killing and to allow them to have a summer of fun, which didn't transpire because Ryan works more than ever now ,which is understandable , you gotta take the work while it's there, but without him her content is becoming boring. They don't appear to hanging out with the other ex pat friend of theirs now, it was her birthday the othwr day and there was no insta post from Fern.

I totally agree and always loved the YouTube vlogs/blogs. Everything seems so superficial with no substance now. And the way she goes on about 'naughty foods' and lusts after anything the kids or Ryan eat is not normal - just get a slice love and stop letting your daughter hear you talking about 'naughty foods'. She says she is promoting 'healthy eating' but actually isn't.
Healthy eating is eating what you want in moderation. Not restricting yourself from the things you enjoy - just have them occasionally. She's become too self centred and little miss perfect for me now and totally all about clicks and views. Which is quite sad.

 

[Rosie Tatler]

I wonder who is going to be brave enough to tell her.

It will be some conspiracy theory her husband has told her !

How are her french lessons going ???

 

[Libbub]

Interesting that Seth has to do chores to earn his screen time. Picking up dog shit etc. No mention of what Nancy does to earn hers though.

 

[Libbub]

I mean who in their right mind would start demolition work with the old owner still living in a room in the house. Are they hoping it proves too much for him and it's the shove he needs to leave? He's used to living knee deep in rubbish a few bricks won't bother him.
The "I've bought him walnuts" farce is laughable. She thinks a few nuts are gonna make up for years of living off pasta? In the comments she says he's only 50 and not " an old man" at all.

 

[Libbub]

Really productive day guys.......built a locker and hung a couple of pots oh and bleached the floor. Cos that won't kill the plants at all will it?
Sorry but that awful green metal locker is right at the entrance of their home. Everyone that comes and goes will walk past it. Lovely. She's worried about shoes inside but not about the dogs peeing and pooping inside daily.

 

[Libbub]

He fully takes advantage of his daughters "Celebrity" (for want of a better word) status. A freeloader who grabs every free trip and opportunity that comes his way. I feel like this trip was made up of a load of Z listers and low level influencers. I also saw the guy that used to be on gogglebox. They all got #gifted this cruise.
I'd be fully pissed off if I paid a shed load of money for this cruise and then the freeloaders arrive en masse.
And can I just say the friendship between Fern and Rachel seemed to be tested. I noticed a couple of times when the high maintenance Rachel got a bit prickly with Fern. Fern of course prides herself on her "you get what you get, and you don't get upset", no nonsense, get on with it, don't complain, approach to life. Think Miss Rachel is not that person.

 

[Definitely Maybe]

I have to say that I don't find Rachel very likeable.

I unsubscribed as I was fed up watching her wasting money after selling their lovely house. Rentals were money down the drain, also storage costs.Now a fortune is being spent on their doer upper but still spending on luxuries. So I saw an alert for her Mum's visit & Paris outing which I watched, then I was blanked out unless I pay to watch!! What...pay to watch Fernibop - must be joking!!
