That arrangement looks like a Kinder birthday.

Flip couldn’t get those Animatronics from Chuck E‘ Cheese in America in time, so he hired a certain boyband for the music.

Here, have at thee!!!

Why does Philip disappear in the middle? He has been removed with no warning or explanation🤣Hilarious

I haven't watched yet, but will later this evening. Was the tablecloth they used that expensive quilting fabric that they were sent, and then Sara from Manor & Maker made the tablecloths?

From the pictures here, I didn't think the food looked as horrible as it usually does. I do, however, think it looked a little heavy for a spring affair. Turkey - did you know Philip is allergic to chicken?? - and stuffing, for Easter? To be honest, after Christmas and Thanksgiving, I don't want to see a turkey or any stuffing until the next year! I guess none of it looked all that special for an Easter shindig, it just looked like a lot of food. Maybe that's hard to do for 50 people, I don't know.
Yes he is allergic to chicken but can go to teh chicken houses, sniff the poo, have then runing around near him and no allergy.

Also if you are properly preparing food the Turkey and chcicke should be kept seperate from each other. When he has his turkey (can't stand it) who else has to have it

WOW!!! Great catch @Madame de Pompanddoodoo!

First, what the actual duck does Nutty the Bully do? Well we all know that she bullies volunteers, but how friggin' hard is to host guests. It's your job.

Second, what part of Bed And Breakfast does Nutty not understand? The beds were not made
The breakfasts were chaotic and fairly random.

How on gods green earth can breakfasts for a weekend be random? Jeeze, I've stayed in a few five star hotels in France (thanks to work) and I was very happy with the French bread, ham and brie for breakfast!

Third, when we mentioned we would like to stay the following year that would be unlikely. Nutty turning away business.

Fourth, and what I loved the most, on the morning of our departure if we would like to be waved off by Stephanie
How many of those idiots who stay LieLie land actually say yes!
The Chateau I worked at my colleague came in at about 7 am to begin preparing the dining room for breakfast, which was served between 8am to 10am. While the guests were having their breakfast, their beds would be remade and tea/coffee replenished in the rooms and just a general tidy up with out interferring with their personal belongings. That whole place is so unprofessionally run. Chateau de Bourneau, which is not that far from me, just makes them look like the amatuers they are.

Can you imagine, paying above the usual BnB rate to stay at Palace Stef, and you don't get your beds made, breakfast and god forbid, a cup of tea.? Oh, but her Highness may be woken up on a Monday to wave goodbye to you!

This boils my blood @JackSpratt that not even the basics are covered yet she can operate as a BnB!!

Jeeze, even the youth hostels I stayed in the late 1980s early 1990s operated better than Lie Lie land!

This boils my blood @JackSpratt that not even the basics are covered yet she is allowed to operate as a BnB!!

Where I worked it was 'a renovation in progress' but the price reflected that. However, we worked bloody hard, the 5 rooms/suites were spotless and the breakfasts were copious to say the least. The owner was always there to do check out personally and ask if they'd had a pleasant stay. It doesn't take much to show a bit of courtesy, not something that features at Fanny's place...ever!

steve was rere to do the photo shoot remember he has done before with Pavlina at their place. Sarah looks like she has lost weight and looks attractive in that dress and makeup.

Jared lives in fantasy world, he and his partnre did the other side of the ceiling all philip managed was what we saw. seem Stephanie and Chateau DIY, konws how it works.

Did you see those plates all different colours, who got the dirt stainned ones. Seems Staepahine went first to get the good plate. It would of been like musicial chairs, everyone rushing for an unstained plate seat.

So obvs not everyone stayed there. Phiphi only did you his room for Julia & Carolina - but where did they go to the bathroom ? I am sure Julia's parents & maybe the sister stayed nearby. Sara and Steve must still be recovering from the paint fumes as they (meaning tanner & jared) were painting until their arrival. Phiphi was "painting" just for video & the the diss if using Tatyana's gift of boots (good catch on reason) - because everyone wears high heeled tapestry boots to go on a ladder and pain a ceiling. And they didn't finish!!!!!! Trim and beams will be finished when they leave.

I swear this Pilar lady has been featured in one of Stephanie's vlogs before....I don't know in what context. I feel like it was some party in the evening and she was all dressed up, like maybe one of those evening dress up parties or something, like the disco one? I just can't remember when, but I know I've seen her before and I remember Stephanie telling her she "looked fabulous" or something along those lines. She does seem nice....I wonder why she's hanging out with Stephanie, then?
Isn’t she the wife of one of the Burgundy vineyards owners that Fanny and Potty met when they got knighted for their services to the grifting community. Then after Pilar and her family arrived at the shittoo armed to the backteeth with wine for the deserving Fanny.

@graciemckitten I think Potts is on the LieLande payroll in some way or is receiving benefits from the YouTube/ Patreon endeavors and that is why he is all over the CD videos now that he has officially moved all his tit to the Dump and is residing there full time when not traveling. He is up Fanny’s ass in a big way, trying to be an affable team player in all LieLande activities when he is present at the Dump. IMHO, I believe that since he left his previous job a few months ago, and has an intermittent work schedule now/ made LieLande his permanent residence, he is heavily involved behind the scenes strategizing with the Shittelaine to maximize the proceeds from the grift grab, the YouTube channels, and Patreon, and on message boards to defende Fanny or attack people who comment unfavorably, etc.

Did you notice the Shittelaine repeating her newest favorite saying, “ I cannot believe I am so lucky to be living here.” She had to tell Potts something along the lines of “can you believe we are both living here? We have wanted this for 20 years.” Fanny lives at the Dump only 50% of the time and routinely leaves skid marks behind her in her haste as she frantically races thru the LieLande gates to escape on yet another luxury vacation. What a load of crap.

I think you are spot on.

That's the kind of tit that will embarrass you forever. Someone, somewhere will trot it out when you least expect it and you will cringe at the memory and wither away inside all over again. Just remember THE INTERNET IS FOREVER! I guess they were more than just a little pissed.

I tried to watch this on my TV last night and for some reason it kept buffering which I thought was odd, given I was viewing on the TV. I caught enough of it but didn't watch to the end. I did notice that SJ was quick to mention that instead of searching for eggs with the others she was too busy enjoying the bluebells in the 'forest' and the running water. Note to self... tick for Tattlers who said she would be claiming the eggs for herself, she even allowed the acrobat sister the egg she spotted before SJ did. You see she's not totally selfish ..(cough cough) Man cubs footage of the chickens left me repeating FFS! He just can't shut up... Kirsty's husband was getting on my wick..he's another one who loves the sound of his own voice and thinks he's funny... bore off...Marie cam... she needs a script.. ad libbing does not come naturally to her... the dragon.. I'll leave that there...Annalise and the boys... I did wonder why she would attend but then I thought maybe there is not a lot going on for Easter entertainment in the area, it was a lovely day, there was free food and drink, and an easter egg hunt so the kids would have loved it. Us peasants are not privvy to invites to chateaus, (well this peasant isn't) so it would feel like an adventure to them. My weekend was pretty boring so even I would have enjoyed a frollick in the forest especially if there was chocolate on offer... Did you notice Baghead was not included in the very short video clip of Marie and Antoine? I will attempt to watch on my tablet later and see if the quality improves not that it will improve the content.

I got the impression she pretended to be a little choked when she said that. Yes SJ you are blessed in so many ways and for all the wrong reasons.

Those Easter parties are the perfect way for Step the Narc to get her yearly gratification of what a wonderful host she is; 50 people coming to see her!

As all of us here agree, hosting means that you are the last person to eat, sit down at the dinner table etc. You are busy making sure all your guests are 'fed and watered'.

But as the Narc's ego has been fed over the past few years due to YT, Patreon and Sir Snorts, we now see her true self: Princess Stef.

I was angry to see her sitting at the lunch table in the courtyard while people were queueing behind her to get some food. In my family, the rule at big gatherings was that children (and the elderly) go first, then guests and most importantly 'family hold back'. Make sure everyone has some food then you eat.

You then go around topping up people's drinks, chat with them etc. Not hold court at the table!
Her every action just shows how trashy she is.

So which are we at TL and is this aimed at us?!? Beast, witch or troll?!? If no one minds, I’d like to be all three!
Happy to put my hand up to being a witch. And on mornings just such as this, one when I have imbibed a tad too much vino the night before, I am troll like...

The bad.....
  • Fanny was looking every bit her age (and more)....
    • Fanny's crazy pink outfit on Saturday night
  • Fanny decorating the greenhouse with pictures (instead of preparing for the party)
  • Saturday night finger food buffet - looked like a bad Barbara Cartland 1970's theme party
    • the food looked awful, especially that cheese hedgehog
    • the charcuterie boards were desperate (did Stuart pass her Cordon Blue training?)
    • couldn't decide what was worse - the bangers & mash or orange mouse in teacups
    • Fanny rolling the left over risotto in green sludge to deep fry :sick:
    • Fanny can't cook without drink nearby (or in hand)
  • All the last minute, anxiety-inducing preparation
    • selecting recipes & ingredients and major grocery shopping on the day of the party (The 4 days Fanny allegedly spent sick in bed is when she should have searched the internet for recipes and made a grocery list)
    • only starting to cook 4 hours before party
    • half-assed job painting a ceiling just before guests arrived (how much do you dislike the Shreks that you put them in a half-finished room that smells of fresh paint)
    • waiting until Sunday morning to try and turn the fountain on
  • WTF was Jared doing in the woods?
  • Stuart definitely not looking a
    Screenshot_20230410-102837_Samsung Internet.jpg
    perky as she used to be (any coincidence Jared & Stuart are from the same home town?)
I wonder if this was Stuart's wake-up wtf am I doing here moment!

Just watched the Smuglies breakdown of what you get on the Pattern Making/Printing course on their lefleur website (ok …I admit I signed up to get early bird notification as I do think the w/paper she made was good & I like learning new decorative techniques)

It is offered in the exact same format as when clicking onto one of those never ending dodgy adverts for miracle pills/cream/diet/exercise plans that you have to keep forever scrolling down - past all of the extra bonuses you get worth $2500 if only you sign up within the next 3 hours 33 minutes and 17 seconds.

Can they not see that this has thoroughly cheapened whatever it is she is offering? It’s an immediate click out for me when I am faced with such selling tactics as it always screams fake scam. Who on earth is advising them on their marketing?


Thanks to the learned Tatler who posted a link to another print making course that looks far more honest & far less grifty .

Oh absolutely Phiphi was just doing it for the evil witches who say she is not working hard. Her sad attempt to move the paint roller in the middle of ceiling was so obviously staged. Her feeble arms barely able to keep the roller erect.

Now read carefully as I will write this once and once only.

Selmar my view on everything is because his mother was artistic, he and his siblings were different from the rest of the crowd. he doesn't appear to have friends left behind him in the Netherlands. He doesn't appear to have had an intense emotional relationship with anyone when he was younger.

Apart from his accident I don't believe he was a star at school, what he showed us about his job was far different from what a tool maker who flated with us in my very long ago days. Looked more like a pattern maker in metal. My asumpton is that because of his family lifestyle he didn't have many friends at school and tended towards living an alternative life of fantasy.

The drawings he showed Stephaine were a very naive nature, exactly what he is. He had never been popular and whole lalande experience made him feel loved admired by many people throughout the world. There has been no reality check that was an exceptional time, a WW pandemic, social media WWconnectivity far different from 1918 when people in your country didn't know what was happening except in their small locations.

When he left and went to Bill and Viviane he tried to recreate the lalande there. The very cringeworthyness of doing his own Chateau Cadeaux, the easter egg hunt was to me vomit inducing.

He hasn't grown up, he wants to be a star someone who is recognisable someone people flock to as they did with their comments on Chateau diaries. Life has moved on so have people we have a new normal and Selmar is forgettable.

Producing vlogs showing a kitten playing or rabbits in a chateau room show how limited his world is, thats the type of world people who are sick and unable to socialise because of their illness, be it cancer, anxiety or whatever live in. Seen it far too often in my nursing days.

It is my belief he is going to become a blight in the Chateauverse, travelling from vloging Chateau to Chateau trying to content and bludging off the workaway system. He can never recreate 2020 again.

When he came on here I skipped those threads he had nothing to provide me with, I only hope I have expressed myself sufficently that this does not become a derail. Or I ahve insulted any fellow tattlers, and if Selmar is still on here and reads this he reflects on the past and puts it in that knapsack of the his back, them removes and throws it away. By doing so he will become a better person. IMHO

Repeating myself I am not a Selmar fan. I've had my say, that's it no more on the topic from me. These are my feelings and assumption, I only hope two things from thsi post .
