This is an exact description! How many survey did the lake now have over the course of 3 years? the initial 1 survey, with an estimated cost of 10K went up to 5 or was it 6 surveys. the repair cost for the lake was initially 100K than 150K, I believe the lake funds now have 300K. Which now will be used to raise the ceiling in the grand salon, and renovate/redecorate the rooms above. of course as you have stated after lengthy surveys by several hired and fired architect /structural engineers/builders.

oh there was the chapel fund as well, which has been amassing monies for the past 3 years too
and the terrace fund, where initial work started last year, who had a fund too.

So many funds and surveys so little projects to spend it on

Annalise's IG shows that she and the boys were at her sister's. It would appear then that Dan was on his own for Christmas otherwise.
Its shows Annalise and the boys in their own house with the sister there making the dinner ..look at the photos off the tree and the wooden beams etc

Wow your breakfast sounds really complicated especially the biscuits and gravy. I had to look those up. My guests would get offered toast, croissants or pain au chocolat. Coffee, tea or juice to drink. I would save the quiche and chopped potatoes for lunch. No wonder you get more guests than me.

*I would offer a variety of bread for the toast though and a choice of butter, olive type spread together with a choice of Jam, marmalade, ham or marmite.

Slightly crooked teeth aren't any more risk than straight teeth - you still have to floss and clean them.
Diet is more important for healthy teeth - and regular maintenance.
I think Pavlina's teeth are fine - not a risk to health.
I wonder if the US obsession with orthodontal work is connected to the health insurance scam/national tragedy (that's not to say teeth in other countries are any better looked after - we just aren't as obsessed with straight teeth).

I rarely disagree with you but I think PhiPhi is the mother of Narcist within the dump. SJ is spiralling out of control and PhiPhi is totally feeding into it.

SJ is in my opinion a spoilt brat who never had to grow up, or was encouraged to stand on her own two feet. She never helped out in the nursing home because daddy was providing for her. Or Gerry or Aunt and Uncle. Had her parents demanded that she would work during the weekends she would have been totally different. She is basically a grown up with no skills apart from a few hobbies she have.

Sultana kindly offered to be her host in Dubai after hearing the Christmas present for Gerry. a desert ATV drive, shopping, the mosque in Abu Dhabi, a day on the beach. of course some more gifts from Sultana who will style her wardrobe.

We didn't see what she got PhiPhi because it was a ticket to Dubai...

Oh no! Was your Wellington ok?

The Dowager Argentinian has sympathy for anyone with a sagging anything. Hence, to fix the sagging beam she has agreed to start an OnlyFans page which will cost just 110 euros a month. So reasonable - only the price of a candle.

Did I miss anything on the list?

I've been watching the Beau Chateau channel. I really like it. The guy has long hair and a beard like Phillipa but that's where the similarity ends.
They really seem to get stuck into the work, include the locals and are so sensible about everything compared to the madhouse that is the farmhouse.
If I was going to have a chateau I'd want one like theirs, I think that it is beautiful. Or as Fanny would say - It's my most perfect chateau in the entire world - ha ha.

When flying from Aus to London I always stay 3 days in Dubai (Emerates). A halfway stopover, just long enough to relax and recover from the long flight. She is going somewhere else as well, no doubt about it. And I bet PhiPhi will be there.

And Dan, please stop your boys from sucking dummies! They are too old to continue that habit.

What about the framing of the 15,0984 pieces of ‘art’ that were sent to her since the beginning of time ?

The new frames for the raised beds in the garden. The Julie fire escape balcony. The bird cage bathroom. Her bedroom/study since wall removal. Curtains. Getting Matts old van on the road and probably having his machinery serviced. And definitely the stool in the toile bedroom.

Don’t forget to add the pool table and daddy’s porno tiles!

Those little boys are too old for dummies.
However, it's not solely Dan's responsibility.
Annalise is equally responsible.
Extended dummy sucking causes future problems.

'Pacifier mouth can take a few forms, but a common one is what's called an 'open bite'. This is where the upper teeth and lower teeth no longer meet at the front. It may also cause different misalignments, such as protruding front teeth or a crossbite. Incorrectly developed teeth can lead to further jaw problems.'
