I'm in, but only if we don't have to eat ANY food from that kitchen of hers!
And, if my one "ho dress" from the 90's (thank you, @billybudd) still fits - who even knows after these past two years? - I'll even wear that to one of our outings!

I don't have any large sums of money at my disposal either, but I don't allow such phenomena as SJ to demoralize me.I think I need to stop watching completely as I’m getting so wound up which isn’t me at all. Seeing your reminder that she gets £30k per month has finished me off today as I have to live on a third of that per year.sorry talking about money is not a polite subject but today something has snapped inside.
I own my own home completely so please don’t feel sorry for me it’s just theinjustice I feel today.
Right now that’s off my chest I’m going to put myself a tonic water(too early for gin)
I am happy with my little things.
I don't envy SJ at all on her murano chandeliers and other nonsense.
She is alone and lonely, and those around her are not there for her but to fight for her property. Sad.
I would feel helpless and desperate if I were in her place.
Perhaps the Squirrel hopes to push through three years (legally required years) so that in the event of a breakup he can claim severance pay.
It is all so sad.
And there is always time for a sharp drink, if one feels that way.

Please stop PhiPhi. As much as I think you’re a simpering opportunist, surely you have more in mind for your life than this! Your poor parents haven’t brought you up and educated you ( however modestly and narrowly) to have you end up with a partner a generation older, tending a shop in the middle of nowhere.
Have some ambition and get a bloody life.
There is a glamping site nearby the HMN. We can go there afterwards for more fun.
Stephanie Jarvis Chatelaine of the Chateau Diaries the pandemic is over
.....and count me in too. We're in the same situation we have to work and we both work bloody hard. It's Saturday evening and husband's had to work today and has only just got in at 18.00 after leaving at 08.00 because of an effing pain in the arse, up her own arse client! SJ might have all of this cash coming in but look at her, I don't envy her lifestyle one bit. She's a very sad, lonely messed up in the head woman who in reality none of her 'entourage' think much of they're all just hangers on. You cut your cloth accordingly, live by your means and even if we don't have much we're happy with what we've got, eachother, friends and family which is more than she has.
Regardless of the pandemic, even her mom doesn’t want to be with her child.
I am happy with my life as well but I prob didn’t explain it very well and It just got to me today for some reason.
I didn't even think you were unhappy with your life.I am happy with my life as well but I prob didn’t explain it very well and It just got to me today for some reason.
It's just that there are a lot of us who think the same.
I think SJ collects all the crap because she’s trying to compensate for something that’s missing. She longs for a real, genuine connection with people but isn’t capable and doesn’t know how. How many dishes, how much porcelain, is needed to feel better? Loads of china, but how many genuine, real friends to share a meal? Very sad, really.
Tattlers are all different, ages, gender, looks, likes, dislikes. But I hope non of us are as deluded as those higher tier Patreons. They are simply funding a lifestyle, Chateau, extravagant travel and love interest of a woman who is NOT their friend. I wish they would give their money to worthy causes or e.g. The National Trust who are keeping historic UK buildings / gardens for generations to come. Those who send gifts are even worse, why don't they see that about 1% are ever seen again or used or framed and then not hung on a wall.
Steph is not poor on any scale, chose where her money came from or where she has it invested, she spends spends spends and still keeps that London Flat her storage unit in UK for even more junk.
I agree with Ky Bourbon above post Very sad really.

Can I bring my ladies in waiting? Surely I can't get dressed by myself!
She can definitely film if Phiphi is shipped to the Netherlands! I wouldn't want to breathe the same air as him, I have heart laziness and stupidity is contagious.
My initial take on her “situation” was that she had some money, but not enough to keep up with her friends and not enough for any major purchases. Basically just enough money to piss you off. I think the hoarding was basically being terrified she wouldn’t be able to buy something she needed, so she kept all of the old tit. However, she was never terrified enough to get a job, or start a real business. She just did the B&B because she had the big house and no other talents other than begging other people for money.
Her main source of money, her father, dies and there goes all of the fun. Because you can be sure her mother isn’t giving it up. Oh and all the while she’s buying designer in a second hand shop and getting slipped cash from her “friends”. Basically she’s poor rich. Which actually sucks more than being poor, because you are only moving backwards, with an audience watching it all. She keeps her entanglements because you never know when your going to need money. Not the same as, but pretty similar, to being a bleep.

Great memories. Thanks for sharing!I’m going to finally weigh in about the Jaguar. That Jaguar is a piece of crap. It was a model from the late 80’s (my mom had one in 1989). It was when Jaguar decided to change the headlights and taillights and make them square and was one of the ugliest and most hated designs ever by Jaguar. They only made that style for about 4-5 years. That car is worth about $800-$1,800 in GOOD CONDITION. So, basically it will cost her more to have that car hauled off to the junkyard where it belongs and that’s why she is trying to get some sucker to come and get it for free. Even if some idiot restored that car it wouldn’t be worth anything. Yes, Jaguars are expensive if you buy them brand new. However, they lose their value very quickly. My family’s business is literally specializing in Jaguars, and I can’t begin to tell you how many we have owned. The only reason we have been able to own so many (and other luxury exotic cars) is because we have access to parts and maintenance. They are ridiculously expensive to fix. You can buy a used Jaguar relatively cheap. It’s the maintenance that will kill you.
So, there is not going to be any kind of tax credit if she donates the car to a charity. They probably won’t even accept it. Fixing that car would cost 5 times as much as it’s worth.
I haven’t said anything about the Jaguar because it is hard to say something that doesn’t sound like I’m “bragging” , which I am definitely not trying to do. I’ve dealt with it my entire life. It just happens to be my family’s business so I grew up surrounded by these cars and have more random knowledge of Jaguars that any person should have.
I have lots of funny stories about all of the weird comments and looks I have gotten over the years. One of them was when I was first starting out in my career and I was about 23 years old. I wound up working late and walking out with the owner of the company. Well, I had forgotten that I had to drive my dad’s giant right hand drive Rolls Royce to work that day since we had swapped cars. I was mortified. The owner of the company had to come over and look at the car as I was dying of embarrassment, and then I had to climb into the right hand drive to drive away. We live in the middle of the US - a right handed drive car is extremely unusual here. Unless you are part of my family.
So, her being so “altruistic” and just giving the Jaguar away is a load of crap. She’s trying to save herself the expense of having it towed to the junkyard.
I hear you. I'm going through my own injustice thing this morning, completely unrelated to Chateau Diaries. Here's the thing.......you will ALWAYS have more than Stephanie and way more than all of those bit player, wannabe's at la Lande. You have class, you have morals and you have respect! Respect from others, for others but most of all, for yourself.I think I need to stop watching completely as I’m getting so wound up which isn’t me at all. Seeing your reminder that she gets £30k per month has finished me off today as I have to live on a third of that per year.
I own my own home completely so please don’t feel sorry for me it’s just theinjustice I feel today.
Right now that’s off my chest I’m going to put myself a tonic water(too early for gin)

Well said x
Spot on! I think PhiPhi the lapdog is filling a void of a friend/partner. He listens to her while they paint their nails, collect china, wander around the world.
The snorting lapdog is the creepiest character of them all. He slid into her inner circle and everyone he doesn't like has been let go off. Is it a coincidence that potts and baghead are not on speaking terms at the moment? Was PhiPhi the one who dripped poison into their ears? Did Clara tell us what the argument was about? So many questions about that snake. It just doesn't feel right.
Did I hear a ho dress? I have a ho dress! me, my ho dress and my ho heels are in!
And we just happen to have one. It is not Patreon that is the problem it is what SJ did for the first few years that is likely very problematic for SJ et al.
Just musing on the lengths Fanny will go to to buy her way out of trouble, or look popular I am wondering how much Fanny paid that theatre production to give the wannabee a role. I always found it hard to imagine that out of all the actors in the Netherlands they chose the boy wonder. Like a good mummy I reckon she promised to donate to the equivalent of the school fund to get her boy into the Nativity play.
I'm sorry if my post offended you. I won't claim to be British, never have and never will. All I wanted to say is that Stephanie Jarvis calls herself shy, does not want to talk about her sex life and she herself claims this is a very British common attitude.Actually, as a Brit myself and tbh @Clara Burnett, your comment maybe leads me to believe that perhaps you are not! I have never felt the need to discuss my "sex" life with absolutely anyone as that is obviously personal.
Sexuality is an entirely different aspect, of course! My philosophy has always been, 100% each to their own, no matter - certainly not my business!
When I used to visit my Brit friend who bought a hotel in Golf Juan on the Cote D'Azure, I was absolutely amazed by how "in your face" French men would openly say that they wanted to sleep with me after a dance and a few drinks - I was not even a young woman at the time either AND, a few of these men were years younger than me. Yes, perhaps they just thought, rich, older English woman looking for some kind of attention/excitement whilst on holiday - but, totally not my style! I was always afraid of catching "something". Plus, of course, I wasn't fluent in French either so God alone knew what they were saying about me behind my back!
My friend was also totally amazed when she first bought her hotel, that she received so many frequent requests for her to rent out her bedrooms for day time occupancy for a few hours, rather than overnight, in order to facilitate "affairs". It did initially rather shock her and she wasn't a prude either.
Obviously, she ultimately did rent out her bedrooms on a "short term midday couple of hours basis", being a very shrewd business woman but always changed the bedlinen if she had overnight guests booked into those same rooms.
