There were discussions here some days ago about Madam Pinocchio's parliament vlog. I thought it was odd she would be called to parliament to promote e-begging. It looks like some of it was exaggerated for her audience who would believe everything she says as they don't live in France.

Well, she says she was summoned to parliament by her local MP to speak about her patreon account. Their insta & FB pages say she was invited to an event by an organisation called Activ'Berry to speak about investing & succeeding in heritage where she spoke about raising funds (begging) to restore a historical building (her home). She was one of the speakers at the event which was held at part of the parliament building & anyone could apply by email if they wanted to attend (I think they paid a fee). The assumption by viewers from other countries (& her narrative & clickbait thumbnails) is that she gave a speech to other govt officials about her patreon account.

Address of The National Assembly in Paris (Parliament), 126 rue de l'Universite, Paris
Address of where the event was held (Hotel de la Questure) 128 rue de l'Universite, Paris

The links below show more pictures & details of the event if anyone wants to see them.

Also for those who are fans of the Fleuries. If you want to know the total (estimated) cost of their renovations & the cost of their rooms per night, check the link below. Have they ever mentioned the total renovation costs to their patrons? The article didn't state they got the renovation funds by e-begging. They only mentioned bank loans, insurance, their ytube account & they stated they will use money from their guest house (not patreon) for more renovations (liars).

I enjoyed the well thought out Q&A by the couple at Chateau Du Pernon. They have really tackled their humongous restoration project with a lot of thought. They even realize they will never see the end of the restoration in their lifetime. So why they chose to sink all their money into a bottomless pit with no family connection is beyond me. I did like their reasoning of restoring the pool first giving them an area for recreation while undertaking the restoration.

Good work exposing the whole summoned to parliament shenanigans. Why would the French parliament give a hoot about Fanny and her scheming? Answer: They wouldn't. She's a spin master for sure. One of these days she's going to spin herself into her own web of lies and deceit.

Unless Pavlina is going to visit Maria in Cyprus for a bit- If Maria is disappearing and Pavlina I suspect that the chateau will be on skeleton staff. They probably are loooking forward to a warm house and good food and no fanny! With the messed up timeline heaven knows if they are actually in the chateau or on yet another holiday ( with preflimed christmas flogs) - I bet they will be arounf for maybe Xmas and a little before and after ( to receive all the gifts and eat lots of food) and then will bugger off again to SA until mid jan/feb Mummy and Percy will probably head back to the warmth of SA after Xmas, Anne Marie and Natzi and maybe Kirsty will hold down the cold fort. Will they be allowed heating if the queen and her non bed buddy aren't around?

I can almost guarantee that come Jan - all the renovation that is suppose to happen will be delayed. Due to poor weather ( A local builders favourite excuse) or other non-specific delays (probably due to structural issues that need more work - therefore need more money funneled into it ) Fanny will maybe rush back to see them between holidays or may get someone else to flog whilst she is sadly indisposed on a sun bed somewhere buying more expensive tat.

We only know what we have been told, maybe Pavlina was just visiting Sarah and will be going to Cyprus too. Her absence has not been explained, and even if explained may not be true. and Maybe they are not a couple and Pavlina is having fun visiting other people, Maybe she wants to be warm for the winter and not left at Lalande when everyone leaves for the Winter . WE will never know

I find it amusing folks are up in arms about the shitalaine "celebrating" American Thanksgiving. The only American thing about it was 3 of the attendees and the date the vlog aired. It was just another meal to her - no sentiment or gratitude whatsoever. Those that are upset should be happy she hasn't appropriated, butchered, and exploited their holidays and monetized them for her own personal gain.

Great info @KittCatt! What a find. And I get what you're saying @KyBourbon - is fanny deliberately leading on everyone or is she just so disorganised. I think it's a bit of both. She likes to "big up" whatever it is she is doing to her rabid fans knowing they'll lap it up and she gets more cash. We know she lies and plays the smoke and mirrors game, things keep coming back at her and it would appear that there is the start of some discord amongst her fans. All that said, fanny has never worked a day in her life. She has never pulled in a regular salary. She has never had to budget. And it would appear no-one has ever said no to her. So I imagine her "paperwork" is in complete disarray and she has no idea how to right it. She knows it's a mess and if that was me I wouldn't want some outsider looking into it to try and sort it out. Maybe that's part of the reason maman came back? So she fabricated scenarios and tells lies to impress and get more money in, in the hope that the mess will miraculously right itself. I personally think that she is just digging a deeper and deeper hole and she will suck anyone who is around lielande or has ever been around lielande into it.

I was thinking about why Phyllis is all of a sudden cooking. A few thoughts came to me. One, Maria is gone. Two, Mom and Dad are coming so he wants to show them he's not completely lame and hopeless. Three, he doesn't want any more falafels or empanadas. 🧆 No empanada emoji, taco is as close as I could get.

Everyone! Stop the presses! There’s a Live from Doing It Ourselves scheduled for 3:30 pm Eastern Time (little less than 2 hours from now)! Michael’s gotta get these in before the end of the year so that 2022 isn’t a total waste! Nothing like waiting until the last minute to announce a live vlog.

Seeing as there is a link to her YouTube channel on their Facebook page may be her undoing. How long before the residents of Berry catch onto what she is really up to.

Perfect timing because I promised my son I would see up his torn work jacket tonight before he goes to work. At least this way I’m being productive while watching.

Aren't you supposed to soak them forever so the dried fruit absorbs the booze? I've never made one... maybe that's xmas puddings? Haven't made those either.

I’m so sorry. You must be exhausted, such an emotional roller coaster and now dealing with the many things that will be necessary.
Sending courage and strength especially for the next few weeks.

The heating’ engineer ‘ eg Amourys mate…. Said it was a 15 ton cherry picker.
Thank you so much for adding the pics

And Sabine who left promptly to go to a chateau nearby. And was going to be popping back, never to be seen again.
Maybe when Maria gets back to Cyprus has some heat and normal company she will realise she was at a madhouse.

Thank you re LOXAM.

I am sure their behaviour would be of interest to the hire company….
The expense will hopefully mean all three wood burners are installed. Will we see the other two burners in position.
Maybe squirrel will declare that F4F must move bedrooms and have a suite elsewhere in the dump?
He has plans…..of transforming absolutely everything I am certain
