I am Clara!
Great sleuthing @KiKiGee. Now I'm no expert, and have only ever eperienced underfloor heating in a few houses, (your feet get toasty very nice in the depths of winter), but those terracotta tiles in the Grand Salon..........................April 15, 2021, it is worth re-watching.
Stephanie Jarvis claims that there is under floor heating.
This flog includes; the grand salon plans, the paneling arrival and a start date, summer 2021.
The patrons have been ripped off. That paneling is in rough shape.
BTW, Matt also discusses the china pantry flooring problems. What could go wrong???
I am Clara' s cousin.No Iām Clara. (Alter ego)
Look at some of those names thoughā¦Rosie Hugh (rosie hue), I bet thatās Stephamememe; Lisa Akinlabi (aching labia), gotta be Hanni; Bee French (beef wrench) Amaury; LaReyne (the queen) has gotta be Steffie again while Hope Diamond is most likely Phyllis as heās as cursed as that stone!Plus Jason freakin' Dubious, every person on this list is someone I'd like to bury under the floorboards, along with every other person who has ever pissed me off. Oh dear, and I used to be such a nice person... before I began watching chateau vlogs, and now I just want to slap them all into oblivion.
Thank you for posting the photos of the grand salon and its bare bones. A reminder - not that anybody actually needs a reminder - of just how unsuitable the proposed panelling is. I'm repeating myself, I know, but it emphasises in stark reality that Stephanie does not have any sense of scale, proportion, dimensions, perspective. Not to mention it being completely out of period and unsuited to the style of the building itself.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.

That scene made me want to puke. Alfredo is imortalised in my brain as Eriah Heap. He's saying 'ever so 'umble MIss Stefaneeeeee'.
OmG. Travelling the seas. Cooking under pressure, in a place where she cannot escape /being told what to do, no doubt/ no pretty flowers/ no friends' houses to escape to, and on top of that: does she really have any chef's training or qualification? (Having cooked at the Shatoo does not count as qualification!)FKās latest instagram

Yes, blew all his money in Spain last year (March - May) on luxury hotels, booze, and multiple rent boys. Photos of his experience in Madridā¦hotels, boysā¦are on Instagram. Then he cried poverty and had the balls to beg for more money on YouTube. He deleted that video from YouTube, but a copy can be viewed on the Wiki. Even said he had to borrow ā¬500 from Fanny! Then he snagged Andrew and brought him homeā¦only to head back to Spain to be caught red-handed on a gay party cruiseā¦thereās photos and video to prove it (he said it was an expedition to search for dolphinsā¦Iām not kidding! He actually said that in one of his comments). After Andrew left (sorryā¦was asked to leave ) last summer, Michael finally had time to save a little cash. By the end of last year, he supposedly had enough to order the staircase (my recollection is that it was ā¬4,000, but I might be wrong). Anywayā¦.six months later and still not ready. Meanwhile, he found time to go to the Jubilee celebration with Florianā¦maybe he visited his oak staircase while there?Didnāt he āblowā all his loot for the staircase in Spain?? Wasnāt that what one of the āI have sinnedā vlogs was about?? And, still those patrons stay. ???
Looking at the picture of the floor as those tiles were laid there is no evidence of underfloor heating being installed.Now I'm no expert, and have only ever eperienced underfloor heating in a few houses, (your feet get toasty very nice in the depths of winter), but those terracotta tiles in the Grand Salon..........................
Or bite it, perhaps accompanied by some fava beans and a nice Chianti.I thought he was going to lick her hand. Gave me the 'willies' it did
Looks like Isabelle was lending Dana a hand, literally. Eeeeeek!How old is Dana??? No amount of dressing mutton as lamb is going to disguise her hands and arms! Those desiccated limbs would convince Curtis Lying Woodlouse that he'd discovered a new Mummy!

I suppose she realises she has to have a medical? It's mandatory. Thyroidism is mentioned as a specific topic, also depression . Neither preclude being passed but a full history is taken and details of medication, and there are circumstances when the certification might be withheld. Being compliant with taking prescribed meds is part of the criteria. Clearly, anybody taking medication as a crew member has to be upfront from the word go amd not withhold information.FKās latest instagram

None of the Pethericks seem to have registered themselves as self employed in France. Sadie once but no longer. I wonder how any of them declare their online income in France? So I suppose they donāt. Donāt get me started on stephamememe. She had to have signed off on her income for 2021 in May of this year which includes her two registered French businesses and the declaration of expenditure (clear accountable expenditure) to get her maison historique dĆ©ductible. Which isnāt the same a a non profit money grab.Yes, blew all his money in Spain last year (March - May) on luxury hotels, booze, and multiple rent boys.

At one time, Michael had over 500 patrons, but now heās down to 280. I guess it goes to show that you can practically give your patrons the middle finger, and there will always be a die hard group of crazies that will support you no matter what.
So spend your money to send stuff halfway around the world and if we donāt like it (meaning itās not valuable) weāll donate it to the local thrift shop in Nowheresville, Franceā¦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, weāll donate them straight to a charity shop
