Oh you're right, theyd be idiots not to rent out the place in south of France, but if it was IJ's mom's home, then there are other family members to consider. I'm going to assume that other siblings are the caretakers and if it's leased out they are the overseers. Stephanie hasn't visited or even mentions it much so I don't think it's in her realm of properties? Thoughts?
Now the house in Suffolk is definitely strange if it's left empty and unused. She never popped over there during her London visits to even check on it. Again, maybe Isabelle's sister does that? I agree, the properties would be alot for Percy and IJ to manage on their own,and we know how Stephanie manages things.
Ahh... I didn't realize that the apartment was the grandmother's! I thought it was IJ's. Either way, I agree that it isn't in SJ's financial realm, along with the English house. Whenever I start thinking about the AirBnB business, the beach house brings IJ's other house(s) to mind, but I didn't mean to imply that she has any right to the profits of IJ's own assets. My bad.

Once IJ is gone, provided she out-lives Percy and her properties are passed down to her daugher, SJ is going to be quite the property maven.

And that is why BJJ is going nowhere unless pushed out by SJ.

He's got an easy life...no reason to relinquish sitting in the lap of luxury. ;)

Unless she leaves it to someone else or a charity.
Absolutely! We all know IJ can be a bugger, so it's anyone's guess as to whom she'll leave her property portfolio to.

You're right, according to Clara back in thread 12 it is IJ's apartment and was close to her mum's house.

I just read the numbers mentioned for the bnb last year. I really don’t believe them. What are the odds that a place in the middle of know where is able to attract so many visitors. Even those that worship at her feet. I doubt it was so many. All smoke and mirrors. Just another way to justify her spending. But that could back fire as patrons are beginning to ask why does she need their contribution to fund the HMN

@Albee I can’t remember if she said people or nights when she quoted numbers. I think she could easily have achieved this from patreons. I mean the Americans who bought a chateau - party of 3 x 2 nights - 6 covers already. Then Jason, Stewart fly undone, gay pastor plus one, strange mini mouse lady, random gay couples, Mr &Mrs LaLande - easily another 20 covers.

RE: Julia Leach’s parents home. I can’t imagine leaving that lovely home with all its amenities to move to a Château in France which albeit is nicer than the shitoo & has lovely gardens. I believe it is not a good trade nor does it make financial sense.
La Jolla (where I believe their house is) is one of the nicest places to live in California, a very wealthy area on the coast. Her mom seems the type who needs to be envied and viewed as a top 1%er. I don't think she'll get the same attention in France as she was getting in her upscale Cali lifestyle. I think they will very much regret that move.

Hi Michael. I'm not sure if you read all these comments, but I've seen this video and had a couple of days to think if I reach out or not. Firstly well done for quitting smoking, difficult habit to stop. I wonder how you received a diagnosis so quickly, I hope you saw a specialist, to get the right information to ensure you get the right medication. If you didn't and its a might be...this could be counter productive. There are so many people who "fail" at things, or do not finish projects, or think they are useless, this does not necessarily mean they have a condition, its just part of their make up. You have an incredible skill set, and by no means useless. Comments praising you or saying how good you look may not necessarily be helpful to you in the long run, other than propping up the old ego. If you are open to advice....mine would be....seek out a good therapist who can help you understand you. To gently take you to a place where you work out why....rather than a quick fix pill. I'm not a huge fan of you, but I would not like to see any harm come your way. This video in my humble opinion had a hint of manicness through it. Take more time out, go and see someone to help you, and get healed properly. I send this with my best wishes, and if you wish to reach out I am happy for you to do that.

Okay Michael, thanks for the update. I used to be a subscriber but you made things too personal. I love what you and your brother are doing with the chateau. Something a wise man told me man told me, don't talk about your personal life, politics, religion or aches and pains. We all have aches and pains, what makes you so special? I wanted chateau rebuilding, not insight into your life. Sorry if that is harsh, you seem like a cool guy. But be a man, get back to work and get into your work. Carry on....

Good advice :

As someone from a family (both immediate and extended) where quite a few have ADHD, I would just say that, while medication can help (a lot in some cases), it won't "fix" everything by itself. Effective ADHD management requires effort too. The best outcomes that I've seen happen when the individual with ADHD creates schedules and other systems that help keep him or her on task. This is often best done in coordination with family and friends. They can often recognize problem behaviors and help put you back on target (often before you realize that you are veering off target).

All good advice to MPK. Nobody wants to see a car crash due to mental health issues. I’ve felt uncomfortable watching MPK for a long time (I work in mental health). Unfortunately, while he has capacity to make unwise choices, his family can do little to stop him vlogging his chaotic/unwise lifestyle. YouTube is not a good place for him, I don’t think.

Being a total witch again - hate doing this... - but that corned beef skin against the yellow is a huge no. SJ get some SPF on a sit out in the sun for 10 mins daily, very unhealthy look to her complexion. This is proof she's not getting any vitamin D, certainly not from Phyllis that's for sure.
The yellow dress would look good on black skin. Black skin looks amazing next to all vibrant colours, white skin as pale as SJ does not do well with bright yellow, no matter how much she loves it!

Yes we are and the wind is still wailing. Snow had slowed down but we are getting another 20cm’s +. Most of the day white outs. Must be wicked on the hwy! Hope you don’t lose power. So far so good here.
Unlike the last three high wind storms, hardly any power loss on the island. But a couple of feet of snow now, wind is down, and it‘s quietly freezing rain. I spent the afternoon editing videos for my YouTube channel…a quiet affair, focused on PEI.

@Hazel Fisher I hope and think Dan is way more astute. He is not greedy and can see this helping him. I’m not sure about groups ? Apart from patron? I stopped giving money after three months as I could see her making no real renovations and just spending from you tube which she seems to think is hers for the taking whilst patron fund everything else. It’s mild dishonest , I’m not sure she is doing it deliberately but has all her life been a spoilt only child and this is magnified. She truly thinks she is a princess. It was fun to watch and seemed genuine. Now it feels like a farce and the car crash will be interesting . The other fallouts like Selmar , Tomas and now Marie who have all become quite delusional with the ideas of grandeur they obtained whilst at Lalande. It does not seem to attract anyone now who is not on the grift eg Curtis etc. It all feels very inbred with the SA links and villioti. I’m pretty furious about the cadeux too. It’s very ugly to watch and I have now stopped. Maybe the inflation rate in the USA will make the older ladies there rethink patron.

@Hazel Fisher Phillip has been on holiday since he arrived. Brocanting for pretty china and women’s clothing for himself isn’t work. Setting a table isn’t work. Following Stephanie around with her pink cellphone isn’t work. The sexually confused man child doesn’t know the meaning of work and shouldn’t be paid a cent. Unfortunately, Stephanie’s taste in men (or boys) is right on par with her taste in decorating. Messy, bewildering and an eye sore.

@Hazel Fisher I was one of the first to send something ,a small item as I was taken in by the poor little me living in a run down chateau … cannot believe what I caused, so that’s my interest! I cannot say what I sent as it will be very obvious who I am! I have a card handwritten thanking me back in the early days! I chose to be a patron thinking I would see more truths, and understanding of exactly how Nick and Michael are involved,but in fact having watched loads of the old patron vlogs I could see the web was so tangled it would be difficult not to spin a yarn each vlogbut stayed for 3 months only . I dared to challenge something in the patron comments and lots of the cult members came for me ,it said enough really! I am alarmed by her ability to spend with no thought to the near future, particularly seeing Davey’s garden , land plans on patron. I have lots of historical plant knowledge and landscaping although not in France. I understand his work is free but this makes it almost impossible to be a client or boss. It will end in difficult times more so for Davey I fear. The amount of money needed to maintain this… I left because I did not wish to fuel the fire but also because of seeing how it was just a love shack? And now some very dubious pairings have developed, Selmar? Marie? And whatever people think about her and Philip, he calls lalande his home, if he buys stuff for it etc will he have a claim on it if there relationship fails? I worry for him. And then I started to do some homework on all the properties the three of them own or have use of . Definitely they need NO support from me! I have friends and contacts in Woodbridge and Framingham and am curious to find out more about some of the goings on. It is a soap opera and I guess we all know how they play out!

I have known seamstresses that can do this. My husband's grandma was a seamstress and worked in a clothing store and she could take one look at someone when they walked in an pick the right size and style for them off the rack.
I'm not doubting whether he could do that or not, but by saying stuff like that he suggested he designed the dress especially for SJ. He actually went out of his way to suggest that he did, probably because SJ wanted to believe it was made especially for her, which is why we proved him wrong by digging up the pictures of the other women wearing it. To now claim we "assumed" what he meant, is just twisting the facts for his benefit, an old trick in their playbook, they can not but treat themselves to.

It is ever so refreshing to read these lines outside our little hate site! If February is going to be all about her numbers, maybe SJ should rethink '15' as her lucky charm...

Yeah, and Stephanie is a size that almost everything fits her. How many dresses has she received in cadeaux and they've all fit? When you are of a certain size, most things fit , or close. She isn't so petite or large that sizing is a huge issue .
Again, it's not about that. It's about their game of smoke and mirrors, suggesting a reality we all know is fake and when we prove it is, they just claim we "assumed" something. It's like calling all news you don't like "fake".

I know for a fact this isn't true. Her body, like almost all of us, has some pretty weird shapes and she almost always needs adjustments.

Between the farmhouse & the London flat, her b & b takings are quite good. I would think if she had 220 bookings, that would translate to roughly 400 guests give or take. I could be wrong, but my reasoning behind those numbers is that she was fully booked last year when I scrolled through her calendar last spring. Only one room is set up as a single, the rest are double occupancy, one is touted as being "perfect for families".


I'm not sure, but I think she operates from March to October so that's 245 days.
IJ flew back in Feb to get the B&B season ready whilst Don Jarvis was on holiday with Gerry and then got stuck there and couldn’t return to SA 🙄

Her words "fully booked" must, as always, be taken with a pinch of salt. If she feels like a party coming up, or just wants a bit of privacy, she closes down the b&b as if it's fully booked. She only accepts guests on Friday and Saturday anyway. Considering her b&b I think the takeaway should be that she doesn't need an income from that anymore and because it involves so much work she will choose to be "fully booked" as much as possible, especially when she's not.

Because Sj is having an affair with a married man perhaps?(not insinuating Dan!)
The Snorting Squirrel Cameltoe better make damn sure he's paid properly then...taking all these beatings, not just from us but from her super fans too...and for what? To make SJ shine and free her up for some naughtynesses? Now, does that sounds even remotely like the SJ we know and hate?

Ahh... I didn't realize that the apartment was the grandmother's! I thought it was IJ's. Either way, I agree that it isn't in SJ's financial realm, along with the English house. Whenever I start thinking about the AirBnB business, the beach house brings IJ's other house(s) to mind, but I didn't mean to imply that she has any right to the profits of IJ's own assets. My bad.
The apartment is most definitely not the grandmother's, but IJ's. She wanted a place close to her mother for when she visited, without having to stay somewhere less private. Since the grandmother died, nobody has been to the apartment. The only thing SJ likes about it is the money it will make once it's sold.

SJ used to rent out the beach house through airbnb and could keep all the revenue made this way. IJ rented it out through a different agent and made far less. Not sure what the current deal is, who gets the rent and who pays for maintenance. Oh wait, Jarvisses don't do maintenance, do they?
