It's made a lot of UK second home owners put their places in France up for sale. Depending on region some have found their annual council tax bill equivalent has doubled in price. I have been wondering what she's going to do if she's stated LaLande as a second home.

My mother would agree with that too (and so do I). A gentleman NEVER wears a hat indoors, and that includes stinky wool beanies and baseball caps too.

But, of course, few 'gentlemen' ever visit the Dump, and for visitors it must be difficult to know whether they are actually 'indoors' or simply in the middle of a building site.

He should have taken precautions then. It takes two. He better hope Kat doesn't get up the duff then. If he's too proud to put something on it, then have the snip and be done with it.

Can you tell he's not my most favourite person.
We’re on the same wavelength. If a man doesn’t want children anytime soon, then be a man and wrap it up. If you don’t trust condoms, then get the snip. Should you change your mind, vasectomies are reversible. Not to excuse Annalise, as she should have been well aware of her partner’s attitude. Both are fully responsible and it’s those precious boy that will suffer. Children are a privilege, not a right. Now, I’m going to go sit in the corner so I can be huffy and irritable.

Maybe the rumour about Aunt & Uncle buying into the Dump is true. They may have sold up in England in order to buy Lalande outright from the 3 current owners in order for them all to get round the new French regulations. I don't know much about the tax situation, but it seems to me that all of them would benefit from this one way or the other.

Neither Baghead nor Potty seem to want to be involved much anymore, and Fanny clearly is not serious about the renovations. I think she is bored with it all.

Except, of course, this would complicate the Association renovation pledge that Fanny has made to her Patrons....

I wonder if aunt and uncle have purchased a chateau with a cottage on the property. The cottage is the tiny house that Amaury and Nutty moved to several months ago. Uncle was talking about removing 18 or 19 chandeliers out of their old barn house in England. Did they bring the chandeliers to install in their new French home?

Which would explain everyone’s silence on the issue and Anne Marie’s increasing resistance to anything Stephanfraudie and her handbag carrier. I’d feel somewhat sorry for these idiots if they weren’t all in it up to their armpits. I would pay good money to see Amaury snap on Philip though. I can just hear the squawks. Not to mention PhiPhi’s ridiculously embarrassing running style while trying to escape. It wouldn’t be pretty but it would be entertaining.

Nobody puts @MRShavershamsdress in a corner . I agree with you. I have found that the more entitled and arrogant the man is, the less likely he is to want to 'wrap it up'. And who do we know that is arrogance personified? Dan The Man Muttenhead.

I've been thinking that for a while too. I'd be very surprised if they bought into LaLande, I'd like to think they're not that daft and woudl buy something that doesn't need too much work on it.

I wonder how far away Aumary and Natti are?

I'm just waiting for the high winds during the winter months and hope no human or animal is in the vicinity when the building tumbles....
Oh yeah there's going to be some snow perhaps this year and now the floor boards are up what a lovely pool of water to collect running into each floor level that crumbling fire blasted bricks and mortar r should be interesting

Under normal circumstances I agree that it would not be a good move for them. But I think that the whole Jarvis clan will be frantically trying to work out how to keep the Lalande cashcow 'in the family'. It is clear that Fanny is not capable of running things and I think she may be either wanting out herself, or maybe she is being forced out by her disinterested financial partners and the rest of her family. Putting Aunt & Uncle in charge could be the way forward. They are popular with the fanbase, they speak the language, they would get things done (with their son's help) and could give the patrons what they have been promised: renovation progress. It could work.

ps. And it would be a great way to get rid of the PhiPhi curse.

It could but what an effing mess they'd have to sort out at their age. I bet they'd make PhiPhi do some work if that was to happen, if he stayed that is.

If Aunt and uncle purchased their own property, Amaury would probably help them fix it up if necessary or work around the home or grounds. It would provide an opportunity for Amaury and his parents to have their own channel or Patreon and be in control of the videos and content.

That’s what the idiot wants, loads of comments and interaction… I can imagine he is getting lots of ”thumbs down” on those videos, but for YouTube they mean nothing but interaction… I just hope those people criticizing really go ahead and unfollow the idiot.

My guess is very close and that it was bought long ago, then AnneMarie & Nasti bought close to it or are living in a converted outhouse at the new property.
I can’t imagine they’d buy a property in France much smaller than they had in the UK and they’d get alot more for their money plus change.
I also think he’s been working in said properties for a while now, hence lack of work at the Dump. He can’t be in two places at once and I’d guess Mum & Dad’s property would come first.
I think it’s all been planned way before Aumery moved lock, stock and barrel to LaLande. Makes perfect sense. Unlike Fanny, they’ve been forward planning and preparing their switch from the UK to France for possibly views, getting property viewings In whilst staying at The Dump. They are not stupid people despite appearing so at times.
Going forward, it’s a good decision for them to have Aumery & Nati close , but living independently. They’re not getting any younger.

What will Fanny do now? The shitoo is a mix of holiday let and “side hustle” business, the London flat is the same . Fanny is a hot mess and I am pretty sure she is not responsible for overseeing the tax of her “shady” enterprises. I bet Baghead is the one responsible for tax for the shitoo. I am pretty sure Marie, Mme Baghead, wouldn’t let it be in Fanny’s responsibility.

Agree. Remember that arty ‘Whittaker’ style vlog announcing the split arrogant twat came to mind then and even more now.

That would tick Fanny off.

I thought Amaury's parents had said more than once that they were intending to buy a property in the south of France, not near the CHMN.

Fingers crossed, I'd love it especially if they started their own youtube. Their property in Suffolk was up for a while, which has given them ample time to search around. Just of curiosity I had a look on IAD Immobiler in a 20km radius of the shitoo. Found two properties that looked interesting one at Fresselines postcode 23450, 28min away 469.000 euro and another at Crevant postcode 36140 10min away 790.000 euro. So there's stuff our there.

Or they buy two properties, a smaller one for down south for the Winter.
