I could never imagine being such a crybaby in public like this. But what's even more disturbing are all his fans encouraging his tantrum. He's probably going to do this again since he got such a 'positive' response from his senile fan club.@Gipsymom Yes, I noticed that he kept averting his eyes and looking up a lot. He was shifty the whole way through.
I thought that too re price of Anna and Philip house, it's in Normandy if I recollect so perhaps that area more affulent than say where the HMN is situated. Did they pay one million or over one million for it whereas others seem to pay between 300 to around 600K for their heaps? Either way I am amazed when they say the cost when they are introduced in their segments on ETTCDIY. People here too who would know more than me especially re property like the run down chateaus, that you need minimum the same as what you paid for the house to cover the renovations if not more. Why anyone would take such a project on without funds or a business plan for the premises long term astounds me.New member here. Came to have a look post MP's infamous vlog outburst.
Thoughts on SJ: i enjoy the practical stuff, the floor replacement, improvements to the courtyard etc, but so much is so incredibly superficial. I'm astonished by the lack of basic improvements such as insulation. As so many others have observed, apart from editing videos, what does she actually DO?? Cadeaux at the Chateau frankly revolts me. It's self-serving, knowingly encouraging further donation, and exploitative. Philip makes me think of a King Charles spaniel every time I see him but perhaps that's unnecessarily unkind.
Anna and Philip a really impressive couple, but they MASSIVELY overpaid for that chateau in that condition. If you look at comparables they've overpaid by a good quarter of a million I'd say. I just hope with Covid it doesn't sink them.
The Montmagner couple are more genuine grafters, but like so many embarked on this dream, hopelessly naive. How does anyone think its sensible to put everything you have into a crumbling pile that will only be a money pit, with only £80k budget for restoration. The roof issues they've had, not to mention the car, were so predictable. I fear for them tbh.
It was on C4 ETTCDIYWhere did you watch this? (I haven't seen it.). I suppose it depends on what she bought and how she uses it really. She made a good job of the re-upholstery so I'll wait and see. I think her taste is very different to SJ's so I am not too concerned. I too want to like them and so I will persevere..
I’m weak. If you think it’s worth another try then I’m going to give it a go tooI'm going to persevere because I want to like them.
Indeed. So let's summarise: a fake Christmas dinner to make the punters happy; a fake dead granny to make the unhappy punters happy; and then a bleedingly obvious oh woe is me post to explain his absence to the punters who aren't happy again which will make them all forget the accidental granny post. Can't wait to see what happens next.Given the number of new members who have arrived here since Moaning Michael's vlog, he seem to have "done a Brenda" and scored a massive home goal. So many new posters saying that they were glad to find a place where they could question and complain. Wouldn't you think he'd have take a lesson from DB? All points to this being a knee-jerk reaction to being called out on his failure to post.
SJ didn't think about a business plan or finances because her parents paid for everything well into her adulthood. She was allowed, perhaps even encouraged, to live in her own fantasy world and let others take care of business. I still don't think she has a sound business plan. She just flits from one dumb ass thing to the next. I really think the whole lake situation sums it up pretty well. She panicked instead of researching and hiring an attorney like almost anyone else would have. Now she's got this incredible, complex and very expensive issue to restore the lake. I'm sure there are many of her panicked and slapdash fixes that will end up costing a fortune in the long run. She just isn't practical! I would definitely fix the outside of the chateau's exterior as it is the first thing you see when you drive up. That crumbling cement is hideous. Who cares what the double-face silk brocade bed curtains look like when the damn house is falling down around you and you're freezing your ass off.I thought that too re price of Anna and Philip house, it's in Normandy if I recollect so perhaps that area more affulent than say where the HMN is situated.

My goodness. You’re basically insulting just about everyone in your post. Are you sure you’re amongst only classy people here? SMDHThe thing about most of SJs fans are that they don't have much class and that's why they love her, she's in their league! A and P are way too classy and many of SJs fans won't relate. SJs fans love seeing people being idiots, laughing at nothing, swooning over nothing, shopping for junk at the thrift shops, playing dress-up, pretending to be princesses, drooling over misfit men, etc. I just don't see A and P doing this.
Well it's true. All you have to do is look at her idiot stans and how they fan all over her for what???? As I've stated before it's beyond cringe.My goodness. You’re basically insulting just about everyone in your post. Are you sure you’re amongst only classy people here? SMDH
Hi, I'm new to this site. I joined after watching Michael's whining YT vido. I feel that MP really needs a shot of reality in his life. People work. They then rent or buy themselves a home or project that they then carry on working to renovate/decorate to their tastes. They don't make a couple of YT videos and expect the world and his dog to support him in his project while he basically does nothing more than a little bit of filming whilst his senior father and his friend (Sean) do all the work on his renovation. Its obvious that Mick is a grafter but he's got his own property to graft on which I'm sure would give him more than enough work at his time of life. Michael should be ashamed of himself.Great post this
Darling, I'm just poking fun at people! That's why I'm here. If you want to take what I say personally, well, that's up to you. This is just idle gossip nothing more.My goodness. You’re basically insulting just about everyone in your post. Are you sure you’re amongst only classy people here? SMDH
The Chateau is owned by three people not just SJ or her family ( mother).I'm new. Don't ask for details because I'm not giving them. Recently learned of the TV series on Channel 4/5?. I noticed someone googled "Chateau de la lande" and found you guys here.
If you are a person donating to Steph, please stop. The family is very wealthy, I know this for a fact - directly. What they have in the bank I'm unsure but we are talking millions! Multiple properties all over the place, 7 that I can recall. Very sizable incomes - alimony payments, pensions, trusts, inheritance, rental income, the list is endless. Money most of us could only dream of.
They have no money issues you are just paying for things they don't want to pay for.
If anyone deserves some money it’s the Montmagner couple. They work their assess off! I’m worried for them too. That roof repair Bill might sink them yet.New member here. Came to have a look post MP's infamous vlog outburst.

She is NOT restoring a chateau, she's over decorating it, buying astronomically priced fabrics etc. AND refurbishing her B&B with new mattresses, linens and who knows what else. B&B that I'm sure, she might not run again, because why bother running a B&B when you have fools financing all your crazy ideas, and free labor from volunteers to clean up yourSJ didn't think about a business plan or finances because her parents paid for everything well into her adulthood.

Maybe Anna and Philipp felt unable to say no to SJ , taking part in the Come dine with me because of being part of Ettc diy?Oh, it is getting confusing isn't it?! I was talking about Anna and Philipp from Chateau Le Fleur. They have described SJ and co as their new friends...
There was lots of grey contour used on them too.Yes, the boob issue is becoming evermore desperate. The worst is that horrible ice blue 1950ish boudoir gown SJ wore in the advent vlogs. She must have used tape to get those girls to do what she wanted them to do. I know some people find SJ sexy but I just don't get those vibes at all. My straight male friends and family members don't find her sexy either. Most of them think she's too skinny. She just doesn't seem to be a sexual person to me. Maybe it's that hysterical laughing all the time that's just such a turn off.
Skinny Boy is being a mooch! He is such a whore for the camera, always putting his gap tooth grin in the camera. He reminds me of that other camera whore, Tomaz. Once P leaves the chateau, if he ever does, he will just be another nobody with a lame YT station and nothing interesting to say. I just wonder where he gets his money from. Obviously he doesn't work for a living and now he's become a porcelain piggy at the china factory shops. I think he's hoping that SJ will let him build his own little apartment at the chateau so that he doesn't have to deal with the big scary world out there where the rest of live.She is NOT restoring a chateau, she's over decorating it, buying astronomically priced fabrics etc. AND refurbishing her B&B with new mattresses, linens and who knows what else.

I hope those towers and attics that have been abandoned for ages, don't end up crumbling down on someone's head.
And now she wants to create a garden more ambitious than Versailles, worthy of a "grand chateau".
This woman lives in Fantasyland, and for now, has the funds to turn all her dreams into reality. Just wait till the money faucet starts running dry, she's gonna find herself in debt with 100 unfinished projects.
And by the way, what the hell is that skinny boy Phillip doing there, glued to her 24/7? Weird. In so many ways.
(OK done, for now)
Context dear, context!There is Angelina and Phil chateau life and then Anna and Phillip Chateau Le Fleur. How about not confuse the two if you’re going to talk shit about them?
Horribly overpriced and over-leveraged, even without dealing with a pandemic. They've achieved an amazing amount, but very financially naive IMO@NorrisCS 900k. They put 450k 'life savings' in plus 450k bank loan. It is near Honfleur, Deauville etc. and just two hours from Paris. So they will catch the weekend crowd potentially. Covid permitting... I looked at the room prices on their website. Astronomical.
