to make tax-effective donations.

That could just mean gift aid where, if you are a taxpayer, the charity earns more. I haven;'t read the details ' you may be right and I think there were tax benefits for the donors with the SA charity.

I read how people are booking out Airbnb in Ukraine as away to get money/ donations directly to people.
A craft group is also buying crochet and knitting patterns from Ukrainian designers on Ravelry.

Yes this, and Airbnb is not charging any fees so the money goes even further. For Americans, you can find downloadable patterns on Etsy.

KIva is microloans, if you are interested in something like that. I’ve been loaning the same money over and over since 2008. It gives people a chance to build their small business without paying exorbitant fees.

Baby's gone, as mentioned by his brother. Wonder if he won't create a new channel to go with his online shop. After all, he reached 100 vlogs. So maybe he is thinking about starting afresh?

I must have missed the part where Dan said he made the choice to leave because he was having an affair?

Ryan is creating an online store for the Pethericks. I am sure he is going to use a free software program to create it. I am sure he has promised Billy huge revenues from it. There will obviously be Michael's artworks and horse trinkets from Sadie.

Just found these comments on the Wood/sprout vlog.. Suggestion of ADHD? And the patter of little feet? Don't stretch your face one tickled me... I'm not sure how 'young' they think SJ is and some matchmaking with Dan!
These people are unhinged.

These fans are freaking insane. Stephanie is at grandma age but more importantly, she hates babies and kids FFS.

Our comments have been deleted. What a shock. Kathy's vlog sure nailed it. Where are the adults?

Looking at the overall picture, we have become invested in certain relationships as a comparison/foil against the main Shittoo ones.
Now, if I were a cynical person I would be thinking how Tattlers could be played.
I would keep certain things in the edited vlogs- to induce speculation, thus ensuring that the focus would be off the main channel. I would play the long game- roughly 6 months. I would then think I have peaked interest far enough to ensure that the gardener would then have to come clean. My concern would be obvious. I would then look to counteract that favourability of a growing vlog under my nose (using my Chateau) was effectively crippled. I would be looking at playing Devil's advocate, an ear here or there etc. How to promote my own relationship whilst another crumbles. Cards have been played, hands have been dealt and this ensures real Philip versus Tripod Philip have been effectively dealt with- all whilst keeping hands clean. In the meantime, I get another live in handy man and a camera man that doesn't snort and has effectively bought his own equipment (no pun intended) to the Shittoo.
As Channel 4 announced that her relationship was a goer to all an sundry, then she had to do a so called damage limitation vlog. Similar pattern here. Dropped hints on vlogs, not edited out anything that could be misleading and Dan himself left things in his Vlogs which could also be misinterpreted. He has been branded and hog tied.
It also ensures that her fan base continues to adore and continues to be invested in the Lalande rescue centre.
Sadly she cannot contain other vloggers. Selmar got his manly pride up and his dander began to show. Maybe he had one to many dodgy smokes or cans of strong lager. Tatty decided to be opportunistic and posted a sycophantic public message. (Discretion and private messaging is always the way forward) still Annalise didn't help by posting a pinned post. Personally she would have been better keeping her side private and let it all die down.
Bad move on Dan's part. Those of us with older children and social media, would know they would cringe and call us out if public displays and private lives were on show. Yes, it's on the Internet forever and Tattled about on here. Way to go Dan!
Next we will see FRK, crying and sobbing whilst whipping up some dead wreets, for Annalise. Her suck story follow up will be a huge draw as she poses questions regarding single parent hood and how to manage in the back end of beyond when your private life I all over the Internet.
So I think it's best not to be invested in the vlogs. Whilst I could relate to his vlog with the hard work I saw of a man working to sustain his family, and build a better life. I would honestly say the place is not about life, laughter and love. It's about freezing your backside off working for public entertainment at your own personal life expense and that of those around you.
I never advocated putting children front and centre on vlogs, they have no control over the narrative on there and we all know now that they will be used to promote the image of caring fatherhood. A vlog paints a thousand pictures or in this case a thousand words per thread. Be very careful!
On a side note (considering you don't read on here) that vlog editing was truly awful Dan. Side to front switching and fading out didn't do you any favours juxtaposed against the message you were delivering. The course was clearly a waste of your money, which maybe better invested in providing nursery care for your youngest then you're not dragging him onto a building site. It doesn't scream father of the year to me.

Whipping up some dead Reets 🤣 priceless 👌

I've been lending with Lend With Care which uses the same concept, for a number of years. Recycling the loans to other entrepreneurs as the other loans are paid off. It enables people all over the world to establish small businesses without the crippling debt.

About that 6 month „all is good“ pretending by Dan… What if he had announced it right back then, would his fans and Patreons have been ok with this Venice trip? So he stacked 6 month additional income to have a financial buffer for the time after the breakup video. He probably realized that Patreons could decline after the reveal.

he probably is going the 50:50 route with Annaliese with the money. Although he would be a sports to give her and the kids the majority of it, if not all.

Waiting for @KyBourbon's opinion of Bully's newest vlog. I do think I'll agree with whatever you are going to say.

Thank you, @ComtesseRose ! Something is definitely up with Michael. It appears he’s either stopped his Patreon or isn’t accepting new members. But he’s starting that new website to sell his artwork, so it sounds like he’s not disappeared altogether. If Michael is taking a break to focus on his mental health and well being, I don’t know why Billy would call out his brother like he did. He said they couldn’t wait any longer to get the cobbles done, so they were moving forward without him. No explanation why…so have to assume Billy’s just exasperated with Michael. I wouldn’t be surprised if Michael is working on his 5th comeback in 2 years! (Or is it the 6th? 😄). Judging by Billy’s demeanor, I think we’re more concerned about Michael’s mental health than he is!

Here's the official French website about how to welcome refugees from Ukraine (Google translation).

You have to contact your local Prefecture (French State Offices) :

"Welcoming refugees
If you would like to welcome Ukrainian refugees to your home, you can contact the association Aide médicale et caritative France Ukraine at this address.

You can contact your municipality or associations helping people in difficulty (Secours Populaire, Red Cross, Secours Catholique, etc.).

In addition, the Minister of the Interior asked the prefects to organize the coordination and the inventory in each department of the possibilities of aid for displaced Ukrainians. Mayors and individuals wishing to provide accommodation must contact the services of the prefecture. Some prefectures offer a form for declaring the availability of accommodation, you must indicate the municipality, the accommodation capacity in number of people and the number of rooms available."

Source : https://www.service-public.fr/particuliers/actualites/A15542#:~:text=Si vous souhaitez accueillir des,Secours catholique...).

That's only for being 'matched' with a Ukrainian stranger. If you know/of someone, or have any kind of connection with them then of course they can stay with you with no vetting. But for the people with no connections, the official services exist to pair up hosts and refugees.

SJ clearly knows (or knows of) someone who needs somewhere to live. I'll criticise her for many things but giving shelter to a refugee will not be one of them.
