'I am so sick, I'm staying in bed' routine . . . it is so obviously contrived.
When I'm sick in bed my hair is not carefully combed and waved.
It's usually filthy and sticking out all over the place.

I think they now discuss scenarios for vlogs.
'You do this . . . I'll do that . . . great idea, you get in the cherry picker . . . film Philip at the attic window . . .blah blah.'
It is so staged.

And her voice of astonished wonder when she spoke about the dessert. Insert eye roll.

This is my 500th post!! I’ll never ever make a VIP at this rate!!

I think I may have found the real reason F4F’s took to her bed during the day. Whose pile of clothes and toiletries are next her bed?

I bought my son one of those fleecy hooded things to wear at home and this evening I popped into TKMaxx to buy some socks for myself.
I also bought 2 electric blankets a couple of weeks ago as well. Just trying to work out how to use them with a smart plug. I’m also going to bed earlier now as well.

I think they do it on purpose.
Because, Patreon, they must not even accidentally think that everything is finally OK in LL and that, God forbid, they can stop paying.
Because, poor SJ, there is so much more to do in and around the Chateau.
There. Because realistically, who, if they have money, wants to live in such a pigsty. (I would go crazy over all those broken things)
Dear Patreon: SJ has more than enough money to fix and polish everything. You pay her, but she doesn't care.
(What is the next travel destination?)

I think the bed was made and did not look slept in .
I so agree with the contrived way she does things now!
I mean - she is not a "little girl" that she loves to portray but a bloody old dirtbag!!!

Well those heaters are in but ......... Fanny with her "hot flashes" will only put a twig in it !
The woman is so mean with things that can help other people !

I think that green bean casserole was part of that post war conspiracy by Campbell’s Soup and French’s to get you to buy all their nasty products for everyday use. While many like it, we never served it in our house. Sadly those vile congealed Jello, cream cheese and fruit cocktail salads were everywhere!

I’ve never cared for that particular green bean casserole recipe (it’s ok, but not my favorite).

Off topic: I found this recipe and have made it for years…it’s so much better and everyone loves it! It’s too late for Thanksgiving, but it’s a good one for Christmas, too.

Green Bean Casserole

5 cans French style green beans (16 oz cans)
4 Tbs melted butter
3 or 4 Tbs flour
1 large tub (24 oz) and 1 small tub (16 oz) sour cream (NOT fat free)
12 ounces grated Swiss cheese
2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
4 tsp sugar
2 tsp grated onion
3 cups cornflakes browned in 2 Tbs butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Thoroughly drain green beans. In a large pot on the stove, make roux of butter, flour, salt, pepper, sugar, and onion. Take off heat. Stir in the sour cream. In a 9x13 casserole dish, layer green beans, Swiss cheese, then sour cream mixture. Layer again…green beans, Swiss cheese, then sour cream mixture. Top with browned cornflakes. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 35-40 minutes. NOTE: the casserole can be made in advance and refrigerated until ready to bake. Add the cornflakes right before baking.

In Cartoons, the characters wear the same clothes each and every episode. Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park…

Your theory doesn’t work.

It's Whale Bay, is a bit hard to access, Matapouri just around the corner is great too with easier access.
