I’ll bet during the warm summer months- the ancient upholstery heats up and smells much like that lady with her beaver in the creek
Snorts is soo gross

Hi and welcome, thank you for your post. I totally agree and am looking forward to the day she gets ignored instead of adored. That day can't come soon enough and will be bittersweet, a fitting revenge for what she's done to others. However, she has a habit in live in general to always land on her feet and I'm sure she'll find a way out of that one too, so I still gladly put my money on Monsieur Tax, as he will hit her where it hurts the most. Maybe after that, her crowd can look away and thus create a second fall, that would be a-m-a-z-ing!
Welcome to posting! Great first post!
You make an excellent point! I was a patron of SJ for 6 month ish, and I left out of boredom! I thought, how many vlogs of the same person doing the same stuff can I watch? She puts out enough on YouTube, who needs another video a week? I totally saw Patreon like a magazine subscription, not as contributing to the restoration, I wasn't invested in it from that point of view. So I cancelled my subscription. And I stopped watching ads that I could skip on YT. This was all months before I found Tattle. I think people like me should be SJ's worst nightmare ... for someone with her need for attention and being fawned over to be told you're actually boring me ... well, that's got to hurt. I'm not the only one who has gotten bored, nor the last one ... TICK TOCK!
Just took a quick look at SJ's newest video, why she needs to film herself in bed is beyond me. It's so cringe. And acting like they just discovered all of this junk. Looks like she's running out of content.
Dan thinks it looks cool and "in" to behave casually as if he doesn't care about anything and his "slick" way of talking quickly and casually is the same. When he was first in SJ's vlogs and when he first started his channel, he was more natural and more likeable. He still showed his dry sense of humour with witty remarks and he seemed capable of being amusing at the same time as appearing sensible and hard-working. He is now acting for the camera, doing what he thinks will be popular instead of being his natural self which Annalise manages to do well. He should forget the well-known "influencers" and just be his natural self again. This new self doesn't seem like the real Dan who is more responsible. He is much better when he is with Amaury who seems to act naturally on camera and can be both sensible and funny. Dan has had a lot of positive feedback; he completes a lot of work in a short time and he has filming skills but if he is not careful, he will lose some supporters who are put off by this attempt to look cool. He also needs to tone down his remarks about Steph and the state of the chateau. It's almost as though he's doing it especially for Tattlers. We know what state LL is in and we know why, and what SJ is like; he could show it without making such an obvious attempt to highlight the faults. It's as though he doesn't want us to associate him with her but she is still his employer despite being so annoying, and people risk losing their jobs if they make their feelings about their employer so public. If he doesn't lose his job, he could be banned from filming at LL and there's a limit to how long he can go on filming himself plastering walls, etc., at his home and visiting Brico. The people who come across best on YT are the ones who show their real selves, not those, like SJ, who put on an act especially for the camera. The longer she has been on YT, the worse she has become. Dan needs to be aware of that as it would be a shame if he deteriorated in a similar way.
oh gosh I was sure she was 48 according to that volg where Dan wrote 50 in the dead grass, with the lawnmower. oh ok
Where is the shaking head emoji? So she finally found something in the Shittoo that was worth keeping and restoring and she couldn't be bothered...
It's just another example that proves how fake she is when she pretends to know about history, art, and antiques. She only likes gaudy, flashy things .
Because she buys what she wants, not what she needs.
So Neither Gerry or Natti need a mirror in their apartment? How about one near the costume closet it could reflect some light. Didn’t the big ring wearing architect want to mirror the lawn to pretend it was water.
...yeah...he’s screwed...
...also...found it interesting how assertive and bossy she was...no flightiness, none of the stupid random laughing...or acting dim...routine. imagine this is truer to her real persona...very much like the old battle axe.
...and Potts is such a wimp..all he wanted to do was get the hell out of there and bake his bread. I make bread myself...so...not knocking bread baking...but he is a zero...no testosterone at all.
...no balls Potts...whenever she said what’s up...he got all wide eyed...and slinked away...did what he was told...laughable...SJ for sure rules that dump...felt a wee bit of respect for the chick...
I love Venice but once visited when the Carnival was on. It was the very worst time to go as it was packed to the hilt. They even had to herd people (like sheep!) down the alleyways in single file when at other times, it's a normal two-way system so you can walk up and down and go wherever you like. We only saw a very few really stunning historical costumes worn by Italians. The majority of people were tourists wearing souvenir masks and dressed in trashy costumes. Carnival must have been wonderful hundreds of years ago. I love Venice at other times of the year as it's so special and beautiful, quite different from any other city but you need to explore all of it and get away from the tourist spots once you've seen them. Tourism and tacky souvenir stalls spoil that wonderful city. I'm sure if you can afford to rent a beautiful palazzo or stay in the very best hotels and spend hours just sitting in the Caffe Florian, you would probably see some more spectacular Carnival costumes but if you hate crowds, as I do, give the Carnival a miss!
In the state of California where I live, these old tube TVs require you to dispose of them properly, which means you must pay. They have very toxic innards and should not be just dumped. I doubt very much if anything from the shitoo is disposed of properly to comply with environmental laws. So from that standpoint, it's probably best that the damn thing remain where it is. Fanny's lack of social and environmental knowledge and commitment is disgusting. She's a major contributor to the amount of junk piled onto the planet. I noticed Potty was the only one wearing a mask in the toxic attic. And yes, throwing projectiles out the window while laughing hysterically was just plain insane!
...she is an absolute nut-job...that tv...that face steamer...that she wanted to Keep??? WTF!!!
...I would’ve paid big bucks for 10 guys to come in hazmat suits to trash the lot of it...save not a damn thing. she has enough mismatched cabinets and old crap...in 3-4 hours it would all have seemed a bad nightmare...done..fini..out...
...filthy as all hell...and you know they didn’t shower or wash their hair...they just wiped the dust off and sat down to eat that pizza...
I agree. I LOVE watching a good purge and fun discoveries in hoarder houses ... and Alexander from Curiosity Inc has spoiled me ... and I thought this would be a fun vlog with some fun discoveries, but it was so boring and nothing was even interesting....she is an absolute nut-job...that tv...that face steamer...that she wanted to Keep??? WTF!!!

The face steamer was particularly ick to keep. Sure, steam all that old dust into your skin, that will help the aging process!! And Phiphi's comment that seniors use those steamers had me laughing! I think he fancies himself an expert on seniors too ... another connection point with SJ who grew up in a nursing home ....

Although it's interesting to see you doing cleaning up, the stark difference between Dan actually doing repairs and renovations, and you lying in bed and spending hours just looking at things is jarring to me. I guess you need to save up patreon money for big projects, but it would be good to see actual renovations that patreon money is funding. You're in the top 100 patreon accounts in the world aren't you? I know it's happened quickly, but you do need to be more transparent where this money is going.

Huh? She goes over and over the projects and frequently makes the rounds showing what is being done. Have you actually watched her vlogs? There are a million repairs and renovations going on there.

@Cynthia Lambert Not really in comparison to the level of monthly income. My whole house could be renovated with the money she has each month, and has had every month for 2? Years. 18 months definitely. What's been done that's had any big cost? The bathroom was pointlessly expensive. And look at what other chateau owners have done in the same time. Even look at Dan and his place. He definitely has far less YouTube income. And I know any property in London in zone 1 or 2 is AT LEAST £1M.

@Dan Ellis-Jones None of us know how much it actually costs to maintain such a large chateau , and pay Dan, Ian,Ian, Nick, Kirsty and others that come to work on both the inside and outside of the chateau. Although we haven't seen much of the work on Gerry's and Michaels apartments, Nati's apartment they are on going. And she has told us she is setting aside money for the chapel restoration as well as the work she had done on the stained glass.

@Kelly Hawes One of my points is that we SHOULD know. At least Patrons should know. She's getting €30,000 or so each month. She's said it's being spent on renovations. So not salaries, not holidays, not new clothes or china. Philipp and Anna at Fluerie have 1 person. Ed and Anna have 1 person. Stephanie has volunteers. And some people. Now Kirsty and Dan, and some others - if they're being paid from patreon, that's great. But SJ needs to say so.

@Kelly Hawes I think patreon is great. I think micro payments for content makers is great. It takes time and effort to create content. Stephanie makes huge amounts of content. And paying a bit to help save a chateau is fine - if you have spare cash. But SJ has now got significant wealth from patreons, and to be frank, there's not the work being done to warrant it. Also €4k wallpaper is not money well spent. I just want to see or hear about that money being spent on real renovations. There were real works last year, but now nothing. The garden work probably cost about 1 or 2 months patreon, Max. It's difficult. I'd be freaking out a bit if I suddenly got €10k a month from people I didn't know. Tax implications. Moral implications. Temptation to use it on some nice things. It's not easy to just gain wealth like that

Hi Dan, I realise you’re not one of our patrons, so you don’t have the same information that they have. My patrons do know that I’m employing many people from the patreon account. It costs me well over €15,000 per month to employ Ian, Amaury, Dan, Kirsty, Nick the Tree Surgeon, Matt, etc. (Nati, Philip, Mary Poppins and Dave are employed, not by Patreon, but from my YouTube revenue). The rest of the monthly account is for materials, equipment (digger, etc), panelling, wallpaper - anything fixed (no furniture). The rest is put aside for the lake fund. As my patrons know, no patreon funds are used towards my travels, clothes, etc. It’s only for work being done to the chateau, including the wages of those working on the chateau. Patreon does not cover any of the chateau’s running costs, which are paid for by me from my YouTube revenue. Sadly, far from lying in bed all day, I spend my time making as many videos as possible in order to renovate Lalande and continue to pay everyone’s wages. I used to do much more physical work around the chateau, but, as you can imagine, my job is now to provide content through filming and editing, to keep everyone around me in work.

What I can tell from watching the videos the last couple of years, is she does a fair few late nights editing videos to make sure she delivers on time. So I reckon she's allowed some lie-ins. Though some people are just nighthawks. I've pals who are software developers who seem to do a lot of work in the middle of the night. Maybe cos it's the only time they can get peace to concentrate.

#pantry #dailyvlog #renovation
Way behind here so it's probably been said. But when I was watching the last Lady of the Chateau Video they went into a room and there was all old hinges lined up on a table and a shelf of paint, another shelf with leftover tiles etc all very tidy and well organised. That is how the attic or unrenovated room should be not just stand at the door and throw stuff in.
