The Chateau Diaries #156 Believe your 👀, not SJ’s lies. The Chateau is filthy, gross and full of idiots!

[KiKiGee]

Happy Wednesday.

It is time to discuss the grand salon. There are real problems. The lack of proper heating and the rising damp have affected this corner of the chateau/farm house for decades. This is not the first time that Stephanie Jarvis has seen this room gutted. It was not renovated properly the first time. So, like the drained lake, donations are paying for Stephanie Jarvis' missteps and mistakes.

December 2021

Asbestos removal 2007.

Low ceilings and sagging dark beams, 2007.

Wrapped in drywall, 2007.

Flooring installation, 2007, no under floor heating.

Painted yellow and filled with used furniture, 2007. Notice, the lack of radiators.

December, 2021, Stephanie Jarvis looking lost in the sauce but she has her gold electric blanket.

Amaury looks like he is on his knees and taking direction from Philip Janssen. What could go wrong???

 

[Clara Burnett]

Unless Fanny has something really shocking on Snorts, I do not see him going quietly, and definitely not without some type of cash compensation to keep his mouth closed.

Believe me, what she is using to control him might not be too shocking to us, it has kept him from producing other table setting bs on 'his' yt channel. He is only allowed to venture out to what she wants him to venture out to, ergo if and when it suits her narrative.

According to Phiphi the gift grab generates 25K per year towards charity. The response was given when asked why Nick had been sent a present even though he is known to hate the grab fest. Allegedly he feels the amount given to charity justifies it and is happy about it now. Stella advising people how to avoid sitting through all the adverts to generate ad revenue. Lisa Kilmer waving her flag of grab fest support too.

Nothing Squirrelpants Cameltoe is doing will ever make Larkin very happy, but at least we know he's learning something from the love of his live: how to manipulate reality into a narrative that comforts him. I on the other hand will never give up on touting the obvious in reply: Larkin f'ing hates you, boy.

I would never part with it ️

She says frantically trying to remember what the hell Grandmeres tea set looks like. And in an aside to Squirrel boy we’d better remove all tea sets from the shop until this dies down. Just in case it shows up on a future vlog.

 

[OhIDontKnow...]

@HalcyonOrganic Crazyer, I think it would be good for her to work a 9 to 5 job, I think she would respond well to the structure, everyone thinks been an artist/ free thinker/ bohemian is easy but it still takes discipline and work.

Absolutely. I sleep when I want, get up when I want, and live off the profits from my creativity. Which means when I am awake I am working (or on Tattle when I’m having a ciggie). I’m free as a bird, except that if I don’t work enough to earn my living, then I am no longer free. That’s the part she doesn’t understand. She thinks success means you wander around chilling with a Nature Valley granola bar and a latte. That’s because she believes that everything you see on Instagram is true and the people on there live perfect lives with no effort. She likes Instagram because she thinks it’s a place where wonderful people do wonderful things and it’s so positive and everything is so pretty. Instagram is brought to us by the same people that gave us Facebook. There’s psychological fuckery going on with both that their own people have admitted causes low self esteem, depression and anxiety. The same people admitted they wouldn’t let their children use the platforms and that they themselves don’t use the platforms. She’s lost, depressed, and doesn’t know what she wants to do in life, but she will photograph it all and post it on the Gram. She needs to wake up.

 

[NotAChatelaine]

God he's a pretentious prick, wouldn't you just like to give him a swift kick up the arse. Who the hell needs that much crockery!

He's a jumped-up, arrogant, affected , preening peacock of an ineffectual ignoramus. My late mother would have referred to him as Pompous Percy. There's already a Percy in the Lalande cast, so I'm going with Pompous Peregrine.

Good point! And, who on earth will be the shopkeeper? The 25-year-old will have to get out of bed and man the shop? The whole story is just reeks of nonsense to the 9th degree. After this video, I'm almost sure she has overextended herself. I'm guessing her Johnny Depp style spending has left her cash poor with a farmhouse full of unfinished projects.

The shop will only be open by appointment. Appointments will be as rare as hen's teeth.

 

[Clara Burnett]

@Clara Burnett, with Stephanie & Michael P’s continuing open relationship, how is it described to their potential other boyfriends or girlfriends? Do they all know, or is it kept a secret from them? Does their older relationship take precedence over a newer one? How does it work when there is a big gathering & all involved are there at the same time, like Easter or other holidays and big chateau parties?

As I explained earlier, I gave up on trying to understand the ins and outs of their rather perverse relationship a long time ago. They pretend to be best friends always but somehow it's clear to everyone involved that the bus doesn't stop there. The relationship between Stephany Jarvis and Potty takes precedence over all, once you know about it it's pretty explicit. It's not something that is ever discussed with the rest of the entourage though, they just blink and look the other way.

 

[graciemckitten]

If Fanny had shown her china collections and accumulated crap from the beginning, the gift grab would never have generated any momentum and become the bloated, greedy grifting scheme it is today. People who sent her Granny’s china and other valuables are now realizing it meant nothing to Stephanfraudie and their family heirlooms have likely been given to Emmaus, pitched out with the trash, or are stuffed in a storage room or hallway covered in peacock shit, just like daddy’s treasured jag. Then the people who sent presents over 6 months ago that haven’t been opened are realizing they fell victim to Fannys poor little orphan routine. They are sad/mad when they realize the fate of their treasured items and presents they spent so much time carefully selecting, packaging, and paying a fortune in postage to send to Shopaholic Shittelaine.

 

[Clara Burnett]

So broken hearted Potty went straight back to the arms of SJ as seen in her flogs. I bet the red pillow was lobed into the furthest corner of servants quarters and a booster WiFi box bought so all of those gay soft porn sites being followed on Instagram could be readily accessed so he was kept ‘busy’.

Well, like I said, he does not need to go back to something he never left behind. I know their ongoing relationship, pretending to just be friends in public, is a weird concept to grasp (which is why I stopped trying to long ago) but this is how Potty and his charlataine roll and always have been rolling. Ask Mason, the sungazer. When he was brought into the mix as her new boyfriend years ago, it was done under the prerequisite that he accepted Potty and his role at her shittoo. He had a hard time with that for sure, even being a weirdo himself.

After all the washing, and the set up in the Phyllis Shop - can you imagine the rodent excrement dabbled on the plates. Of course rats crawl around in there at night.
Don’t they need a permit to open that shop?! Report sales, report taxes collected. . . . . .?
Can we reflect for a moment on the stationary drawer in her bedroom area a few days ago - have you ever in your life, besides a stationary store, seen so many cards jammed into multiple drawers?
And people will still send her more stuff?
Venting. Thank you.

Just finished Grabeaux and it's getting harder each week. As other's have mentioned, it was Christmas in June at the Shiteau as almost every package was sent for Christmas/New Year 2021. (Natti's only 6 months behind)

• My English/Irish Grandmother loved....whatever she received
• My Father loved.....whatever Fanny received
• Snorty - showing his true colours
  • calls it the Tack Room, but never refers to it as Michael Pott's apartment (and keeps trying to put grabeaux items in it)
  • Fanny - 'Mummy will love that necklace'
  • Snorty - 'Mummy will look good wearing that necklace in South Africia'
  • Fanny - 'Mummy can wear it here'
  • Snorty - 'hmmm, oh yah'
• Fanny the Good Catholic Girl
  • Martine sent a couple of gifts and is really looking forward to the chapel restoration (I hope the poor woman is patient)
  • Received 3 Rosary Calendars (always usual half way through the year)
  • 'Whoever shall have the true devotion of the rosary shall not die without the sacraments of the church' - reads Fanny who can't tell her rosary beads from her anal beads
• Thomas & Carmaletta
  • I'm sure they're nice people, but they're misguided, exhibit poor taste and even poorer wrapping skills.
  • they have sent 3 boxes of gifts since Christmas, 2 of them huge boxes which must of cost a fortune to ship
  • multiple items have arrived broken
  • on their own admission Thomas & Carmaletta buy & send 2nd hand items to Fanny (most of which are quite tacky and the exact type of crap which Fanny has admitted she'll just give away to charity). Just proves it's a waste of time, money and resources to ship this crap half way around the world to Fanny.

Why not sell cadeaux gifts, mark them as that, and donate the funds to charity?

I worry that it would be an accounting nightmare. Instead, if we part with any gifts in future, we’ll donate them straight to a charity shop

Be still my heart, the heating issue was actually discussed. Wood stoves in the fireplaces what a clever concept especially since you have all the firewood you would ever need, what a revelation!

 

[Patriciarella]

The stainless steel cutlery really adds to the presentation of such exquisite china.

SJ selling a gift from her Aunt but had room for Snorty’s crap? Get rid of the kid that sucks all the fun out and start dating handsome men who can afford to buy you lunch. Snorty ruins everything, even SJ.

 

[Patriciarella]

Funny that - those words were more ones i would use to describe our verucca salt. I am not a fan of philip but thankgod he managed to convince steph to get rid of something! if it was up to her nothing would have left.

He is getting rid of HER things so there is room for HIS things. The junk is leaving to make space for expensive items HE will purchase with HER money. Mind trick: memories of what Daddy bought are gone, transfer to memories of what Snorty buys her.

 

[Kickintheass]

As a welcome gift (Welcome!) I will let you in on a little secret I have been keeping for myself (and a few others who know her more intimate truths): she did stick with Potts and is still sticking with Potts. The relationship between Potty and Stephanie Jarvis never truly ended, but evolved into what it is now, an "open" relationship where they are "allowed" to have other significant others around if that suits their practical needs. Don't be fooled by such optics though, they are still very much a couple, in every sense. People should ask his (ex) girlfriends Tess and Ruthywriter just how that feels.


Her bff Kim Raad works for Stibbe, a leading independent Dutch law firm...go figure.


Good point. Which also explains why these parents are never featured in any of her flogs: she does not want us to know them because it would explain why he became such a character. They can not be but at least partly to blame for the monstrosity they have created.

So Potts and Ruth have split rather than just a break, as you say ex. Is it amicable, has Ruth cut ties with both MP and SJ, who gets to live in Amsterdam? Is Ruth back in UK permanently?

SJ is quite the village bike!!

 

[Jeeves]

I absolutely agree on everything you said. @Jeeves Could you please elaborate on your thoughts why she needs to live in a commune?

She herself says that she grew up surrounded by people in her parent's old people's home. I imagine that despite this that she was a very lonely child and perhaps this is why she needs to provide herself with the security of being surrounded by others. We can see that these are not healthy reciprocal friendships just an attempt at some level of attachment - I doubt that she has ever really experienced those kind of relationships. we don't see any evidence of real friendships, only the party crowd. The old saying "Safety in numbers" seems to apply to her - does she view this as being loved because she tells herself that people want to be with her? Despite this, Clara tells us that Stephanie seems to struggle socially and seems to be out of her comfort zone. She always needs to have someone which is how Snorty has wormed his way in. I really don't think she experiences relationships as we do, rather than the need to feel "safe" by being surrounded by people ( anyone really.) I'm ok because there are people with me even when Mummy was too busy/ detached and Daddy had chosen to shut himself away. There were always residents, staff to provide relationships at arm's lenghth and of course, her "brother" Is this why she may have struggled with a more intimate relationship in her marriage -perhaps she hadn't experienced that level of unconditional love in her early years.

I don't know - there are so many gaps in her story.

 

[Lady Avonlea]

Got strong vibes that Snorty wished he was in the wedding party & running off with them together on their honeymoon & back to Brazil. Sitting beside the happy couple at dinner Snorty looked more in his natural habitat than when he's sitting beside his mummy Stephanme.

 

[PixiesPaw]

They are going to have an online store? These people who can’t even send out a simple postcard to their patrons.

 

[lalablahblah]

This is probably a stupid question... Who in the hell has 2 dishwashers and doesn't have a set of regular dishes that can be washed in a dishwasher??? You know regular breakfast, lunch and dinners for the skeleton crew in winter... I forgot she is so used to having slaves to hand wash the China she doesn't care what a pain in the ass it is...

 

[Lady Avonlea]

An online shop? Online customers can be very picky, no one at Lalande can properly pack a set of porcelain dishes to safely ship overseas. Also, they pay with credit cards. Derp, derp.

They only have guests about 22/24 weekends a year, so not much walk-in trade. So it will primarily be online, but honestly why buy an old tea-cup from them when I can go to my own local charity shop, auction or estate sale and find the same thing?

If they start selling their own merchandise (ex: t shits, shopping bags, aprons, tea cups, wrapping paper, etc)

• who is going to oversee the online site and handle customer inquiries?
• where will they source the items from and what quantities?
• what about quality control?
• where will they store the products?
• will they use a fulfillment house?
• what type of POS system will they use?
• what type of inventory system will they use?
• who will maintain/update their website?
• will Fanny refund items which arrive broken due to poor packing?
• will they allow return items?

So many real business decisions and these 2 imbeciles don't have a clue and are both lazy. Running a real business is more than just making things 'pretty'. If this becomes a viable, commercial venture I'll eat my hat, but I firmly believe Fanny will quickly become bored of it all and this will die a natural death.
