Thank you, i would never want to offend anyone in such a way.

Now that Ive gone and googled "fanny" as well, I think I'm sorted out. How did this word ever get so mixed up! It's just one's bum!!!
Wow! UK use is very offensive....good to know!

The BBQ is traditionally Potty’s thing on Boxing Day. And Dan is at Chateau, again? Is it not a public holiday in France?
besides the fact it was Sunday, Dan is British, SJ is British, it's BOXING DAY

I wonder if he is still there this time next year, will he sing the Carol King song, "Will you still love me tomorrow" to Fanny?

I thought we had already reached consensus on the Fleuries and their sudden success. Their bathroom mural was shown on Channel4, people were impressed and looked them up. That caused a domino effect and their videos were recommended to more and more people. Their tour of the chateau -video has 1,5 million views! Their growth has already slowed down but still substantial 11k subs this month. Lucky them.

I don't understand the manipulation allegation either. Yes, their videos are scripted and carefully curated. But they have a very different concept and they're not filming their daily life at the chateau like SJ. It's not about daily social interactions with people around them but restoring the chateau. For many of us this is plain boring even The Fleuries try to make the restoration as funny and interesting as possible. It's difficult . Philipp is a professional and they're filming multiple story lines simultaneously, when one is completed it'll be edited to a vlog. They're usually weeks ahead which gives them time to breath, fine tune and plan. They have no ulterior motives to scam people, they just have decided to leave their relationship and the daily struggles of a young family outside of their vlog. The patron money isn't used to something else than promised.

Why did Aunty need to be in the panelling planning meeting?

Phiphi must be wiped out - he managed to lift some panelling. You could see that he was flushed due to the unaccustomed exertion.
ETA: I wonder if his jeans acted as a surgical truss?
I was thinking that too Jeeves....... why is Aunty there - was she spying for IJ ??

I believe an ambulance was sent to the Chateau for Squirrel Boyfriend who came over all sweaty and dizzy from the lifting !

Free advice for Dan
1. Get a babysitter in 2022 so you and your wife can be at the chateau events
2. Since SJ isn’t doing Sunday shows take that spot
3. Spend time with your wife
4. You showed us keys to your studio, use them
5. Plan family time and do not be pulled away

I would love to watch her but when she gets really excited (often) her jazz hands come to play. After a while she becomes aware of her hands and tries to calm herself down... it all is so awkward. There's something wrong with her husband, too many drugs in his youth the rumor has it.

“Cutting into the panels feels too much like vandalism”… absolutely adored that quote from StephaMEME. I think it’s good for all of us to know that StephaMEME does not condone vandalism...
No trimming the panels to fit the room properly, it would be vandalism according to Stephanie. Thumbtacking some of Andi’s craft store framed watercolors to the panels is fancy, high class, royal art.

Like she showed us in the overdoors many things have been added, probably in the late 19th century. The overall look is very neo-rococo, maybe the panels are from 18th century but most of the decorative moldings are added or modified in the 19th century. I think she's trying to dupe us.

OT- my local grocery has a gentleman who works there who I refer to as "Bruce Jenner"- he SERIOUSLY looks like an older version of the 1980s Bruce Jenner (like when Bruce Jenner was a Olympic Champion, was on a box of Wheaties, and was a role model to all of us young runners.) This "Caitlyn" person is NOT Bruce Jenner to me- he's a farce! My grocery Bruce Jenner is far more bad-ass- Army paratrooper during 'Nam, served a tour in Korea, and only works at the grocery as "something to do" during retirement.

Julie is a hot mess. NO ONE in the US makes a Birthday cake for baby Jesus! (And I agree- it's eggnog, or just copious amounts of scotch/bourbon/gin after having spent a day dealing with one's relatives are more traditional- and for the non-alcohol crowd, it is hot cocoa with copious amounts of whipped cream. Very few Yanks drink cider- a few, but not many.) In the US- one leaves sugar cookies, cocoa (or milk) for Santa, and carrots and sugar cubes for the reindeer (ironically, Julie was raised in Illinois, but vey, she'd think she was raised on another planet. I'd forgive her for being a Bears fan- American football, but don't misquote Yank traditions!) SMH.

4 in the morning, waking up and realizing that our heater malfunctions and I can’t restart it.

I can’t even call a repair guy, because my brother believes in the „doing it ourselves“ mantra.
He is to cheap to sign an annual service contract.

service usuall day in my life…

You may not like the person, but let's not intentionally misgender or dead name members of the transgender community.
