Haha, he's supposed to be a professional. So he's supposed to know you don't own the rights to reusing the peacock design for SJ's logo. As a customer who's hiring a professional expecting them to advice them on the right use of right licences etc, SJ could have sued him I'm sure. He wants to be paid for his plagiarism, is he a joke??


Again, if he was truly a professional, he would have had a quote specifying the work. When you are experienced and you care about your business, you protect yourself. He's over here doing amateur work in an amateur way and expect SJ to pay him, lol. I feel like he agreed to doing this for free but backwarded afterwards as he didn't realise SJ actually had budget or whatever.

Marie W pays rent to SJ and on top of that SJ gets to enjoy the free flowers. Did Stephen really expect SJ to pay for his copied logo when she doesn't even pay a little compensation to Marie lol?
if you recall there is a vlog by some obscure copyright marketing woman who is advising SJ on marketing/ copyrighting LaLande crap.
maybe this is where this a came up ?

I remember he was originally volunteering for the GAG channel editing. If this was the agreement then I would completely agree with him to expect payment for the logo. SJ seems to be the master of adding additional tasks to original agreements without adjustment in compensation.
Classic narcissist move. You can’t make a deal with one. They add and add and add.

Courtyard? Courtyard my arse. A courtyard is a feature that is enclosed on four sides, normally by buildings. I wish we would stop calling it Courtyard and call it as it is, the front of a farmhouse. There, bitching done.

Genuine question from someone not born in snowy lands or large buildings - why not zone the farmhouse eg 3 zones and have different heating and water arrangements for each? So the old part/bnb could be done separately to the turret area/front door/SJ area vs the kitchen servant bedrooms?
That would probably cost three times the price.

You need three boilers, two additional chimneys installed room for the additional boilers (they have no basement to speak of), more plumbing, and same amount of radiators.

sorry I’m a newb so I don’t know how to include/quote your previous reply to my post…so in reply…


The patron who originally posted the comment, removed it later on and therefore my replies…so I guessed I dodged the bullet !!

I received a postcard, not a Christmas card and I definitely didn’t request it 😂

Has anyone else spotted that SJ has not updated the descriptions on her patron tiers to include the inclusion of your name on the back of the panelling or for the rich patrons the back of a door? Does this mean SJ can retract her promise if it’s not included in the description? 🤔

TICK TOCK 💣

Hello. I've just joined you mad and funny lot. . I've been watching CD on and off for the last 18 months or so. I just love what I've found here in the last week or so. Like so many other less gullible people, I am truly amazed at the level of worshipping from other's around the world that have no chance of ever going to France let alone stay at the crumbling heap of a house. What sickens me even more of the greedy shitbags that have seen the money rolling and think "oo I want some of that for doing jack tit". Why on earth does Dulmar and Tattie woman think that going to Tesco for a bit of food shopping is film worthy? It is beyond me! And as for Dandare and his looming back and forth at the camera like some kind of demented fish in a bowl - christ! I tried to watch Marie Wilkes once and they have just taken me off the anti depressants! I used to watch the Petherick boy too, but I lost it when he started crying and asking for money when he blew what he had going off looking for a shag. I even supported him when he cried over his little collision with the Strawbridges, but he soon put me right on that front with his next few logs. I see nothing wrong with making little films for people to watch if they have the time and don't mind watching the mind numbing adverts. So what if not all of it is true. Commercial TV have been doing that for decades. But to actually ask for money via Patreon, Gofundme, BuymeCoffee/Teabag/Spode/Horsefeed/Teatowels/aga parts/dog food/ dog vet bills/ chicken feed/ (god the list could go on) is just pure wrong. What is more wrong and worrying are the level of simplicity of the adoring fans that part with their hard earned. I doubt I can contribute anything more to this great forum. However each time we watch we are just feeding the egos. So I would suggest stopping watching. But then again I wouldn't get so many larfs from here. As for the creepy boy. I was so relieved to find so many people that thought the same as I have been thinking for the last year or so.

If you want to get true insight, you should watch some documentaries about how sects work and read about the experiences of people who got caught up in one of them. It's very enlightening. Some people will fall prey much easier than others and it usually has nothing to do with common sense or an ability to see right from wrong.
Around the time of the Jim Jones, Guyana tragedy I immersed myself in information about the psychology of cults. It is indeed disturbing - from the likes of Hitler to he-whose-name-shall-not-be-spoken-and-ex-leader in the US, even down to gangs, they prey on those who want to belong, etc. The otherwise most intelligent people can get caught up with it. Maybe their methods at first seem harmless but they begin to take a stronghold and it becomes extremely difficult to "deprogram" the victim.

Blech! I just had a read of the comments in yesterday's CD vlog. Those people are really out to lunch! So many of them are in tears knowing their names will be on the back of the paneling. FFS! Don't they know she's just going to staple a printout of the names to the back of a panel and call it a day?
'Those people are really out to lunch!' :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: Love that saying

Remember Stephen Cole's and Sara Phillip's first rambling flog???

They pulled this flog. 🤔 When you lie whilst apply for status in France you may not want evidence.

Did Stephen Cole and Sara Phillips, claim to be employed by Stephanie Jarvis???
Well, there is plenty of evidence. 🤔 Was this for their application process and all for show???
We did hit a nerve. Stephen Cole and Stephanie Jarvis discuss the porn tiles and lack of results, before cocktails at the Christmas party.

She was able to buy some "friends".....only they all had the same name, Patreon!
But then she found her FAVORITE. It was the Parrrfect friend!!! Young, stupid, and quite homely....
And low and behold.....
It only had ONE NUT....so....
Her new friend
You little beauty 💕💕💕

And ….

Initially after getting to grips with her phone ☎ traction on YouTube wasent great - her friends were getting antsy about the constant blogging . Then reading 📖 hello she saw there was to be a new show on TV on a little known channel in the UK 🇬🇧. British owners of chateau s and surving in France 🇫🇷.

She applied straight away - She was an parrrfect candidate.
Ditzy enough to appear funny and was blessed with the ability to waffle bullshit ….. after 40 was still alone - this could be her ticket 🎫 to tinder

With the right amount of PR - she might be considered a catch !!

Until………😈
Until...

Several suitors appeared at the Chateau. Some were rich, some were just eager!
Hiding in the wings,mother kept a beady eye on proceedings.
What was the point of having a daughter? let's face it she didn't want one in the first place. She gave in one day and produced a Princess, never to be repeated again! Now she had to think.
Her older years weren't getting any easier- yes, there was the SA bolthole, a few other properties which brought in income, but these had to be maintained.
She watched in despair as her daughter was going through suitors like a French dog on a Chicken coop.
Nope, Isabelle, had to look out for herself, she couldn't rely on Stephanie (the ungrateful) to look out for her.
Turning on the charm, she bewitched the viewers on Stephs YouTube, she played her part to perfection and had even managed to snaffle her own wealthy suitor. Now don't get me wrong Reader's, Mother had her own money, what was hers after all was hers. She could see Stephanie, pissing it all down the unfinished loo, and she needed to move on. Before she did, she made sure her income was secured(after all she was also a star) her apartment was sorted with only the best Italian Marble, the best appliances. Yes, she thought, there would be one corner of this Godforsaken place that was warm.
She had long suspected Philip. She could see how desperate her daughter had become. No profit in this one she thought. I'll leave her to her own devices. The only consolation was that it wasn't Dulmar. She shuddered at the thought of old age in a camper van. Looking on Tattle she planted a few Easter eggs, just to keep up the momentum. Maybe her daughter would eventually take notice. Packed her bags and flew to warmer climes.
She's your problem now. She sent emails to Potts and Baghead and smiled to herself.

And then...

I think the scales first started falling from my eyes when I realised how little time she actually spent at the chateau pre lockdown. Her year consisted of monthly trips back to her flat in London, several short breaks in France, and longer overseas holidays.

Her daily life when at the HMN is utterly vacuous. She has a beautiful wood on her doorstep and lovely surrounding countryside but never walks or explores in either. She hasn't joined any local clubs or societies, rarely attends local events, and appears to have only made a handful of local friends in sixteen years.

She has obviously never really cared about building a life at the chateau, and so investing time, energy, or money in renovation or maintenance after the initial works was never going to figure in her thinking.
You're so right!

I started watching in March of 2020 when my son came home for two weeks from college (the 2 weeks became 18 months). When lockdown happened and we found DIO/CD because the thought of living in a chateau in France seemed so idyllic. I was skeptical at first about SJ but she gradually won me over and I became a fan and a $5/month patron. We enjoyed the videos and gossiping about the characters on our daily walks. I credit my son with opening my eyes because he was the first of us to call her out for GAG (wouldn't watch it with me) and the travel and visitors at the HMN during lockdown. His insight made me see the behaviors I was ignoring. I found Tattle after Michael's "Angel stole my designs" vlog and began reading here. The final turnoffs for me were 1) it took 6 months and 2 email exchanges with Nati to get my damned thank you card, 2) the exorbitant number of guests over Christmas 2020, 3) the Come Dine with Me vlogs where it seemed her goal was to portray Marie in a bad light, and 4) the How You Tube Saved MY Chateau vlog. I was furious that someone who has been handed everything in her life could have the audacity to call it HER chateau. Anyway, I realized I had been duped.

She really is a skilled spin artist and I look forward to her hopefully impending downfall.

Good points. I noticed that about the tree as well. Dan seems to be fudging some of the timeline.
Also, why put lights on the awful wood structure and not on the tree? What happened to those coloured spotlights which were put in earlier in the year?
Clara mentioned in a past thread the lights were broken, and expressed no surprise that no one has repaired them.

Edit: Le Comte did mention this now that I'm catching up. 😊

@Parrfect Porcelane you said it so well.
What bugged me about those come dine with me dinners was that she was never at the Chateau to welcome or entertain her guests. She would always be away rushing back at the last hour to make the dinner. How rude. She literally arrived and walked into dinner. People had probably arrived thinking they would be able to spend time in the Chateau with the Chatelaine. Such a selfish and ungrateful woman.

Mini apron received many emails from the list boyz

“While her sheer stubbornness can be admirable at times, it can also be downright frustrating I can’t be held responsible for her playpen toys 🧸- she will climb out of the playpen when she grows bored “

wTF signed mini apron perplexed

My kid is turning out just like me. Well played, karma. Well-played.

Then …… to her amazement Stephanoligy looked like she was swinging from both barimentors

Mmm a modern - charlatan open to any barn door by all accounts - happily she had lured Nutella back with idears of a family connection down the line - her OWN from door swung it 🙄
Getting paid to play is so 21st century …..
Now how to cast off the Norwegian sledge mobile - she’d already displayed herself with wanton behaviour …. Never mind the appealing Hanni … saints preserves your mind 😈

It always seemed as if she were doing the guests a service by gracing them with her presence, as if she is royalty, by making an appearance at dinner. She certainly seemed annoyed at her obligation of having to play hostess.
