regarding the young woman from Ukraine....

Something has stuck in my head that I can't shake and I can't find on the CD videos I watched last week, before I got angry and stopped.
I could almost swear that on one of those walks through the chateau, where Stephanie stops in the kitchen and talks to everyone and sometimes meets new volunteers that she introduces the camera to, someone said they were from Ukraine. None of you know me, but I have a memory like an elephant (it is my greatest fault! Makes it very difficult to "forgive and forget" when you can never forget, no matter how hard you try!). I am certain that will find this video, but if I can't.........

............the point of this post is to say that it is my opinion that there is no way she has opened her home to a "refugee". She had to have known someone that knew this young woman, or this young woman may have been already que-ed up to volunteer there. What about the Russian volunteer from Cyprus - Maria Sidorova - perhaps she knew this young woman from Ukraine? I just am having trouble believing that this is some random act of goodness to bring in a person who needs refuge from what is happening in her country.

It will be spun that way, of course.

And think of all the food items they receive and throw away because they don't open the gifts in time. Who knows how much that amounts to. Fanny was receiving Dolce and Gabbana cakes, etc. She has expensive taste on everyone else's dime.

I agree. And who wants to be in a Shittoo with 3 couples allegedly hooking up? Just you, the refugee and the "volunteer" who thinks she will have enough free time at the Shittoo to knit a sweater. I wonder if the "volunteer" is a paying guest.

I don't understand Fanny & Co's way of thinking- vice saying firmly NOT to send gifts, they encourage it- YET, they are almost a year behind on opening gifts. It makes no sense at all- the proper and polite thing would be to open the parcels right away (which Nuti already does to retrieve the food goods and candies), take proper notes at who sent what (and her lugging gifts to Mummy, not knowing who they were from and lugging them BACK to the Shitoo was an embarrassment), and IMMEDIATELY send a thoughtful hand-written thank-you note to the sender (as these are actual PEOPLE who have spent a small fortune in postage to ship them to Fanny.) While I suspect some senders have sent her things in hopes of them being featured on the channel, she'd be better served explaining featuring them all is impossible, and most would probably find placation in receiving a handwritten note of gratitude from her. Unfortunately, the GG is not going away- Fanny lacks any proper etiquette (oh vey, even Emily Post could not save this bogan!) In the time it took Fanny to produce and edit her garbage "How to Make a Cuppa" vlog, she could have opened a few boxes and wrote a few thank you notes.

Finally caught up. Welcome new Tattlers.

@Jeeves and @Seeingitasitis my father’s people are from Waterford-still have cousins there! What a hoot if we were connected.

I made a suggestion a few threads ago that we volunteer to each do a early cadeaux vlog to document contents. @LadyAvonlea then shared her work. Imagine the gratitude of the accountants if we can provide an inventory of all the gifts plus estimated value.

My favourite gifts before I stopped watching
- Cambodian (?) dinner plates from some special dinner service
- cases of champagne for Christmas (really early days)
- old service donated by the niece of a woman that survived Titanic sinking and some other drama
- some of the old books have been really interesting
- real vintage clothes and bags ( not the 80s or the click bag!)

Well, it’s Wednesday in France. Wednesday. Hump the Patrons Day. Happy Hump the Patrons Day everyone!

Wednesday. Where all of the Chateau Diaries Patreons are treated to yet another diversionary vlog to make them forget that Stephanie Jarvis isn’t going to tell you how she’s spent the over $500,000 that has been donated to help her fix her house. She’s not going to talk about where this money went. She’s going to show you $10,000 worth of wood, or Anne Marie’s super neat and tidy workshop that seems to be the only thing he works on. She won’t talk about the apartments she’s building to try to boost her income after everyone figures her ass out and stops donating. She probably also won’t talk about the hole she dug while draining yet another lake without the proper permission to make a swimming mudhole for Mr. Earth himself, Michael Potts. She will though, throw on her best nightgown and run all over the Shitto interrupting people as they try to work on something. Wheeeeeeeee! bye bye lots and lots of love from LaLande! You make all of this possible!

Seems like every time a seed packet was opened during GAG Her Nibs would comment that they would have to wait until the mummy returned from South Africa. Sounds a convenient excuse to do nothing practical with the garden. After all why spend money on something that doesn’t feed her addiction to luxury goods and adulation?!?

I think one of the reasons she is redoing the Marquis apartment on Chateau DIY is so she can add another redecorated apartment on the Patreon's dime that she can lease out for income. She would have, Isabelle's apartment, Potty's apartment, Gerry's apartment, will finish Nutty's apartment, and the Marquis apartment finished so she can lease them out for big bucks for her and her 2 ghost partners in grifting, Nic and Potts. I think that is why she is so hot to install a pool, redo the tennis court, and do all the gardens and landscaping so it looks good on the outside and people will want to rent the apartments out but not stay too long to realize what a dangerous shit hole it actually is. I think that is also why she wants the woods cleared finally of all the overgrowth and dead trees and trails established. She wants to restore the pond and do the facade to complete the look. It is typical Fanny, all form and no substance.

Remember she leased out an apartment when she had a dangerous electrical fire at the Shittoo. She has never replaced or fixed the electrical issues at the Shittoo and then continued to lease the apartments in a dangerous condition She was too lazy to leave Venice on vacation (because she wanted to show off a new crown she purchased with her last few hundred pounds of cash) to come back to the Shittoo after the"devastating" fire.

Fanny just wants to make sure that they get the new renovations done that will generate big money for her and her cohorts, Nic and Potts, so when the grifting stops, she can finance her travels and lifestyle with the apartment cash.

How does auto insurance work in France? In the US, if the title holder loans her car to another person and that person is not insured to drive that car or any other and is involved in an accident, the title owner can be held responsible.
With Snotty driving the Nic puchased Stephanie titled auto to Maastricht for rehearsals, I hope she has taken special care to have him covered

I had forgotten about the cases of Bollinger! (And Mummy nicked one for herself!) Also, lest we not forget- Fortnum & Mason hampers (yes, multiple), Diptyque candles, Aqua di Parma products, Guerlain perfumes... They are definitely NOT inexpensive.

And the defenders of grabeaux constantly claim the monies raised on the channel would far outstrip the totals spent to buy and ship gifts if those amounts were instead sent directly to the charity of choice. I think this puts paid to that notion thoroughly.

What expensive items (antiques, liquor, foods, etc) do you remember Fanny opening on the Gift Grab or receiving during other videos? I know she received expensive perfume from MP and through the gift grab.

What was it, 23,000 something she said she gave last year? not even 1/4 of what she's getting in gifts ..

The irony is (and Fanny knows it), Mummy is not planning on ever returning, so that is a moot point. Seeds have a shelf-life, especially if they are not stored properly. Fanny is not the brightest crayon in the box- right now, she's planting a Chanel caviar bag in the garden, hoping more will just magically grow.

And remember Rule No. 1 when evaluating anything Fanny tells you: If Fanny's lips are moving, there is more than a 50% chance she is lying.

Here are the extrapolated figures for the total number of gifts, based on the past 16 weeks of Cadeaux vlogs.

Whatever happened to Hanni? as odd as she seemed, she really fit in with Steponee and supplied her with sooooo much champagne. oH, but Steponee doesnt drink, Yeah right and I am a muti billionaire who lives on my private island (in my own mind that is)

And Hanni paid for an internet satellite device or something like that.

Don’t forget about the perfume gift set Christmas gift from Dan. According to Annalise’s odd quickly deleted insta post… Not that expensive, but something juicy to tuck away for future reference.
