...he's hopeless...
From today's CD's live chat...
H. B.@philip I believe the crescent shaped plates are bone plates. Intended to go beside the main plate to catch bones from fish or chicken, etc. Of course now you can use them for anything.
Philip Janssen @H.B. Oh! That makes sense
SJ was hoping for Marseille soap but will end up with toilet paper.
...again, from the live chat...
Maria K@The Chateau Diaries I bought special toilet paper once at the Carrousel du Louvre shopping
And warning if you are still to watch it ... SJ is wearing those bleeping stupid reindeer ear warmers. They aren't cute, they make you look like an idiot! Actually, how could any non-Chateau person take her seriously?watching today's vlog
* she goes to get her booster
* and she's in the loo with Amaury, coving in processes, so she's not stayed out and been banned from the loo like she said ....
* Amaury says "when you're spending a penny you'll be warm"
* breakfast with Auntie & Uncle before the leave (timelines SUPER confused)
* emotional good bye from Chantal, saying this will be one of many visits
* Uncle Stephen tells PJ to enjoy every minute of the Safari
* Porcelain sorting to be taken up to Narnia (why do they want to run to Narnia when they need the dishes, seems stupid, or wait, maybe PJ will put a table in Narnia and make that his dish setting studio)
* Nic & Marie are arriving today, so PJ is making their apartment more homely, she showed their finished loo, and mentioned that Nick and Marie want SJ and PJ to do the rest of the decoration choices for them.
* mini tour of the downstairs loo ... shows the floor, yikes why all the white dust or paint? Definitely not as Selmar left it.
* More porcelain sorting, by Marie & Sabine
* Peacocks
* new patio furniture for the pergola, 19 century British garden furniture
* more ideas for Narnia, lamp post, stuffed animal storage, fake trees, and armoire to walk through to a change room
* Nick, Marie, Antoine & pets arrive to their warm fitted out by PJ cottage and then Marie & Antoine are taken over to oooh, and ahhh over the downstairs loo
* 6:46 pm and they sit down to a snack, the owners in the kitchen ... Potts is cleaning the flour he spilt on the stove top so he doesn't get in trouble with Marie when she comes to cook supper. They must eat quite late every night. More Norwegian cheese and salami etc.

It was a very sad end and yet she did have a very popular clothing range at one stage but that did not last sadly.Poor Kanga …..such a sad end.
Moons ago she was sat on chairs like these on a vlog, I cannot remember, when or where I sure they were €€€++++, anyone remember ?
And really it's not "done". Okay fixtures in, can take a piss, fine but it still needs finishing. UghWhoa! Yentas! 23 pages in less than 24 hours! Looks like we all got plenty of time this Christmas break!
Many of you predicted that the downstairs loo will be finished by December '21 and you were right.
My personal prediction was December 2023!
I still can't believe it took them 16 months to finish that tiny space.
Those fixtures don't at all look anything special. It seems pointless to "special order" those fixtures from England.
After all that time and money spent, I was hoping SJ would get an Alexa-command smart toilet!
There could've been at least one smart thing in that farmhouse.

Don’t the French Put baby Jesus in the Christmas cake? Then something happens to the person who gets a piece with Jesus in? I’m sure SJ mentioned this on a precious year’s advent.
The tradition of the Galette des Rois:I remember that episode….I can’t recall all the details though. Stephanie got the baby I think. Seems there was a crown involved, and the person who gets the baby is king for the day….or I’m completely wrong…in which case I trust I’ll be corrected post haste.
Last year SJ bought one but she was the only one who ate it as everyone else was allergic / vegan - and of course her slice had the figure in itThe tradition of the Galette des Rois:
The Epiphany or Theophany = the 12th day of Christmas which usually takes place on January 6th. On that day, many Christians celebrate the revelation of God (incarnate as JC). It's the day the Magi arrived to honour the newborn.
In France, you eat a Galette des Rois (roi = king), in which is hidden a porcelain figure from the Nativity Scene (baby Jesus or another character). In the south of France, the galette can be substituted by a brioche des Rois
Nowadays, things can be a bit different to accommodate different religious denominations and those who don't belong to any denomination.
When possible, and in some families, the adult in charge of cutting the Galette will try to put aside the piece with the porcelain figure for a child so that he/ she will be King/ Queen, they get to wear the golden crown.
Today, people start eating a Galette and/or a brioche from the 1st to the 6th.
OK, bye!
Oh yes she did .. the uncomfortable chairs they look pretty riiight, who cares if they break your back
Is this you @PykeMoons ago she was sat on chairs like these on a vlog, I cannot remember, when or where I sure they were €€€++++, anyone remember ?
It's not a baby but a piece of ceramic (traditionally a bean).I remember that episode….I can’t recall all the details though. Stephanie got the baby I think. Seems there was a crown involved, and the person who gets the baby is king for the day….or I’m completely wrong…in which case I trust I’ll be corrected post haste.
I hope you and your son get well soon. Try to take it easy for the next few days…gives you an excuse to stay in for the New Year weekendSo I have the damned covid. My youngest son ( the type 1 diabetic) just was tested 20 minutes ago and he does too.
Anyway, I am crabby.
So I watched the stupid CD and at about 4 minutes in when Phyllis was saying adamantly that those little dishes were salad plates...I lost it and posted a comment on how I felt. It will get deleted by wonderboy and I will get lambasted by the Shanty zombies....but it was necessary!!!
Yikes I had to call all of my hair clients about them being exposed.
When I called my clients to cancel them because I am out of commission until next Tuesday ( if all goes well.)..two of them were just concerned about WHEN I could get them in to do their hair!!!
I am telling you guys. I could write a book!
OMG and he aspires to being the expert on porcelain, setting tables and the like!!!??? He is a mere child.He was adamant they were salad dishes....then backs down...

So sorry you and your son tested positive. Here's hoping you only get mild symptoms. Some of your clients sound like complete arses. My daughter who tested positive a couple of weeks ago had to phone one of her clients to say their project would have to be delayed a bit as she was feeling so rough. Client hit the roof about the delay emphasising how it would inconvenience them Keep reading here and posting, it'll lift your spirits.So I have the damned covid.
