To be fair, Dana works pretty hard for her place in the lala chicken coop. And also in real life. One of the few, I believe. But certainly not one of my favorites.

And can you imagine them asking... "where's my hedgehog tea towel, peacock painting, gardening gloves, hat, tat and porcelain rat?"
and imagine her running around like a headless chicken trying to find said tat and put it out on display...you know the kind of thing we've all done before when Aunty Betty turns up & you're having to hunt for that ugly china poodle she gave you for your birthday 2 years before!!

Sorry, they will steal anything and everything they can get their hands on as a memento. Believe me.

"...fabulous French accountant" - I seem to remember SJ saying during a CD last year she was going to use the Trotter Tribe's accountant, on MP's recommendation. Which caused my eyebrows to raise to the point of being airborne.

Problem solved - just leave the tat out and the disciples will slip it in their handbags. Phil of the Backstairs was waffling on about perhaps needing an embroidery machine, so he may have plans to run up embroidered HMN toilet roll covers, hot water bottle covers, embroidered brushed nylon bloomers. Could be a little gold mine!

Michael is the same fella that I took a screen shot of previously, he was commenting on the YT video
I started using a browser called Vivaldi, and miraculously, it blocks all ads on YouTube! Its a dream to watch! If I like a video I hit the like button, but otherwise I am not adding to their pot unwittingly.

Crumpled notes stuffed in a paper bag, along with all of the Gift Grab sweetie wrappers.

Only three of them, the other three stay at Lala. Too much

I'm not sure poor old Selmar has cottoned on ( or maybe he has?)

I'm a bit confused as to why it tasteless & low behaviour for Petherick & Marie to try to get a small bite of the massive Jarvis bowl of cherries? They're all as bad as one another on the job front, but at least Petherick & Marie have tried & worked in various places unlike Jarvis who has cruised all through her 45 years. Petherick vlog is laughable. No way would a professional outfit like the one he is making reference to have been foolhardy enough to not get it all belt & braces signed up. As for future copyright challenges I can't see what that is based on? I think I know who would benefit from a therapist session & it ain't the boy Petherick.

He also has self employed status in France.
Indeed he does, but according to French law, he does not qualify. He needs to have a minimum of three official clients, not SSB and one or two fake invoices to the Ians or whatnot. He is dancing with danger if he does not solve this problem, as the locals will hardly employ him; his credentials are insufficient to be employable as a proper tradesman in France.

Selmar is living under a false sense of security and I am sure she knows it - she just does not want to pay employer's insurance; very sneaky indeed.

I also hope he doesn't get silicosis working with those flagstones.

I’m right behind you. Take great pleasure in skipping any adverts. Don’t want SJ to get a dime more . Actively feel cross if I miss a ‘skip’. Something tells me I need to get a life ....
