Thank you for clearing that up for me

THANK YOU! That fake demure, coquettish, baby's breath persona was a turn off from the onset for me.
I didn't mind PJ at first until you folks here opened my eyes and pointed out his obnoxious quirks and traits.
Sending love and wishes for both you and your son to recover quickly.
I'm with you there for Dan. He could 'bore for Britain'.
Nobody asked, and I tried, cut could not bear to watch Ryan back. But I have the bare bones from comments here. After six months thinking time in Thailand, he is going back to France to buy a cheap property in a cheap area and do it up. Is this to live in forever or to sell on for a profit? He will never get a bank loan so he is clearly hoping to do it on someone else's dime. Why does he not think it is time to get up off his a.r.s.e and get himself a job to fund his mortgage and the costs associated with a renovation? Beyond belief really.
Well, now I've really lost it, I just sat through a 15 minute vlog of horse poop being shoveled into a wheel barrow 
Sadie, Mo and Queenie 's Sunday vlog contribution. I blame Queenie with her cute camera antics and field galloping she looks so happy. She definitely was wondering what the big deal was about her poop!

A new low in the châteauverse. Just goes to show that people will watch anything. No ideas for content, Michael? You have NO excuse! Sister Sadie is showing poop for god’s sake!!!! And getting views and likes!Well, now I've really lost it, I just sat through a 15 minute vlog of horse poop being shoveled into a wheel barrow
As someone from Argentina, I wish them a warm welcome. Like really really warm, as the weather is super hot. January is an awesome month to visit if you don't mind the heat. A lot of people are off work and traveling around the country, so I hope they can visit the beaches in Buenos Aires or the Patagonia. It's gonna be a fun summer here, since no one really will travel abroad. And hey, they won't freezing at the chateau for a few weeks
Philphi is probably hoping to keep his miniature “iron” in the dying embers of menopause.
DefinitelyCan't find the post now but MW had commented.. You're so beautiful StephanieJust when I thought she'd made her escape. Maybe keeping her irons in the fire
And desperately seeking even more attention than she already has

I knew it !Unicorns have nothing on mine.
That Cadeaux stuff is the worst. Who are these fools who are wasting their money on crap (mostly) that will be stored, given away, thrown away etc. The grifters would be better off asking the gifters to make donations to legit charities. Every single “person” in that place makes me ill.
I’d rather watch the paint dry (literally) at the deserter’s pile.

On January 6, 2020 (pre-covid), SJ did a vlog entitled 'The Monthly Costs of Running of a French Chateau'. It's now been 2 years and this was the last time, I recall, she's discussed finances because we're now still waiting on the accountant. It's interesting that their initial plan was to fix up the shitoo & sell it after 5 years for a profit. The plan was never to run a B&B and SJ admits that had they known how much it cost to run they never would have purchased. She doesn't really like to work and definitely doesn't like to clean.
SJ admitted that she's a lousy business woman and that both Nic and Potty (mostly Potty) had been pestering her to track & better manage costs.
The biggest monthly cost was ofcourse heating/water, so logically this is what most normal people would address first to better manage, but not our Stephanmeme! Apparently she only spent 250 Euro/month on maintenance (underestimated), which is the same amount she spent on decoration each month, so ofcourse the heating/water system is now a disaster.
They'd owned the shitoo for 16 years and still hadn't turned a profit. The monthly (under)estimated running costs of 3,503 Euro's was subsidied by Nic, Potty, SJ's London flat rental and the B&B business which was quite small before being exposed on Escape to the Chateau . To keep throwing good money after bad, none of the 3 owners had any sense, Yet she always had money to travel????
SJ dreams of a beautiful garden, lake and swimming pool (among other things)
So now they have almost 10x the monthly income - where the hell is the money and what are they doing with it??? Exactly what has been accomplished in the past 2 years??? Damn little and virtually no restoration.
- built their own apartments (Mummy, Potty, Nic's bathroom upgrade, Gerry unfinsihed and Natti unfinished)
- planted a few trees & semi-finished pergola
- installed a water pipe to the walled garden
- constructed a compost bin
- ripped out a few trees
- fixed 1 stained glass window
- repaired the tile drainage on the back terrace,
- semi-finished downstairs 2 piece loo
- semi-finished upstairs pink bathroom
- ripped out an upstairs wall
- cleaned out the moat
- constructed some beds
- cleared out/reinforced part of the attic for Narnia (which will likely fall through the ceiling with the added weight)
- laid stones in the driveway
- tacky decoration (pigeon tower & limoge tower)
- ruined expensive wallpaper in front reception, downstairs loo and Marquis Suite
- cleaned out her closet only to refill it again
If there is more I honestly can't recall.
Yet the constant buying continues because one can never have too much Spode, and a global pandemic won't stop Stephameme from travelling around the globe ,only now with her insipid toyboy in tow!
But with patrons & viewers, SJ now has an obligation for financial transparency. SJ knows administration/finances aren't her forte so she'll try to put it off as long as she can, but the tax man cometh and the patrons are getting restless.
The don't like Squirrelboy's involvement, so the pressure is also building from both Nic and Potty, and SJ is feeling the heat. Undoubtly some home truths and direct words were spoken between the 3 owners over the holidays (no Sunday vlog?) SJ is a resourceful charmer, but something has to give and her charade won't last forever. Tick Tok.....

One question because I just cannot watch him......... Did he come back with that girlfriend???
I find it interesting that the gift channel has twice as many views on most videos than it has subscribers. And, it won't be long before it hits 5 million total views. So many seem to hate watch it. Boggles the mind
Don’t forget the Wedgewood Room! Although I think most of the Wedgewood was donated or gifted (?)
Yes - I incorrectly called it the Limoge room (tacky glueing tit on the walls)!!!
I don’t know how tax law is written in France but in the US you can’t write off expenses indefinitely. You have to show a substantial profit or your “business” is considered a hobby. Covid is an issue but I wonder if all the expenses are either unverifiable or personal and she’s trying to write them off against her business or nonprofit. I’m sure I saw where Fanny does have a legit nonprofit set up.
He's not back yet, he's just looking at houses in France on the net. Not sure if he is still with Dawny as he was doing an across Thailand trip with her and vlogs stopped halfway thru. He said he decided to stop vloging trip and just enjoy it. But we haven't seen Dawny since and he looked a bit upset first video without her. He is staying a bit longer in Thailand as he has had braces fitted to his teeth and will go back when teeth are done.
All I remember about that room is on the episode of Chateau DIY in which they were working on it, the camera kept panning in on Fanny’s inappropriate demolition attire. She was wearing a black lace dress and cfm heals. So awkward!
I think BJJ had on a bustier?
