Why is Fanny spending more than 1,000eu Plus tax and shipping on part of a fountain anyway when she has so much more to fund and do?

and shopping is not getting it done….the base will likely be stashed somewhere for months or years as they encounter the electrical and plumbing issues that will invariably creep up.

also fountains are noisy.

Now let us guess what plant name did Snort’s Grandfather choose as a nickname for his grandson?
My first proposal is Silybum - it is a from the Persicaria plant family.
That's delightful! Oh, and it's a thistle too! Particularly poignant too considering the latest journey to Scotland.

The Gay Twank’s grandfather called him Liatris to his face; Gayfeather behind his back. 🌈 😝

The humble rubber plant gets Janssened.

There I was, thinking that BJJ would never come up with something to match his “my grandfather’s favourite playing card”. Then he comes out with this.

His obsession with his grandparents is singularly unhealthy and deeply odd.
His Grandfather called his Grandmother Elastica? Enquiring minds don't need to know!

I was thinking how high that bath is to climb into to have a shower and with nothing to hold onto.

Also, the gilt wood mirror on the small grey tiles on the wallpaper . . . too much.
There's no shower curtain though,,

I agree. I've watched Sean a few times (admittedly it's been a very long time) and although he seems like a very nice man, his home and the grounds seemed a wreck. It reminded me of Dan's house, with junk all over the place and overgrown gardens/yard.

By the way.....I wonder what's happening at Dan's home and if he has finished for his ex and his sons?
---

I have often wondered if his constant calling out of his grandparents is real or if it's used to keep the grannies dialed in?
I think Sean and his wife are going for a rustic vibe in the garden. I get what they are trying to do. It is hard to do though and he’s just made too many little nooks and crannies to keep up with. I am guilty of having done that myself. I like how there’s fruit trees and little tufts of color and little stone things and paths. What he’s done along the front is very cute and he’s tidying things up quite a bit. It’s just him working so, I would imagine it’s hard to keep up with it all. He worked as a contractor for many years, and definitely has skills. He’s said he hurt his back a year or so ago, when he fell off a ladder and was laid out for a while. His wife doesn’t want him working on the roof unless he will be very safe so he’s going to use scaffolding.

I earn my entire living buying and selling antiques, collectibles, and furniture. I make over six figures annually. I totally respect Sean and his wife’s selections of antiques and they get good prices for their items and have a great reputation on Etsy. His cutting boards are also well worth the money as well. I’m in an upscale market and people go nuts for the copper items he searches for, they bring crazy prices. HI also know how hard it is in that business to know when to stop working and take care of your home. It’s tough. Every minute I work on the house or yard costs me money. I’m am always on the hunt, polishing something, painting something, cleaning something, fixing something, picking something up, delivering something, or god knows what else. It may not look like much, but it is quite a talent to leave the house with $500 and come home the same day with sale-able items worth $3000. I’ve also made thousands of dollars picking up items put out for collection and either fixing or up cycling them. I cannot just drive by a pile of old furniture. It’s like money laying on the ground.

I’m fortunate that my husband shares my joy of making money out of thin air. He used to go with his grandfather picking antiques when he was a little boy. He’s actually better at it than I am, but he won’t retire for another 4 years, so he just messes around a little bit with it from time to time.

He once bought a giant (100 feet long) American flag for $100 and resold it to a casino in Las Vegas for $6500.

Anyways, that’s my Sean-fending, I don’t love the buy me a coffee or drill, but at least you know he’ll buy it, use it, fix something, and film it.

Where can I subscribe to your YT channel?

If you don't mind me asking. What was the most valueable item you picked up from a collection pile?

M.I.A. for a couple of weeks. Went on holiday to southern Italy, Puglia. Fabulous. Rented a Trullo for a long week. Stopped in Asti and Pescara on the way down. Asti was a revelation. Stopped in Orvieto (another revelation, been on the to visit list for years) and Domodossola on the way home. We pretty much shut ourselves off from the outside world (no news, no papers, no WiFi) and the world went mad 😪

Though nothing has appeared to have changed with Despicable fraudie fanny and Thrush! Un honte!!

@JackSpratt we've had rain since our return (bah, humbug. Kinda got used to sunshine since April) but the worst of the episode Cevenol was north of Montpellier. A spectacular "light show" that we could see from home.

Hannah just posted a trip to Fortnum and Mason highlighting Halloween food offerings.She will be posting weekly videos until the end of the year on holiday decorations and offerings from stores and areas around London. I like Hannnah’s videos.

I’m the same. I want to see what he does on his property but the blatant grifting is nauseating. He really is a hoarder.
Personally I wouldn't give him the time of day....The 'wannabees' were introduced to the world of you tube and through their employment with the likes of Billy, Michael and Stephanie... they watched and learnt or at least tried to... it looks like easy peazy money.. just record everything they do in their day job and because of their association with the 'employers' viewers will migrate to their own channel. Once they build up a decent enough following ( they would never have gained many under their own merits) they then start testing the waters, with the grifting...maybe just verbalisation at first, just dropping suggestions or a hint as to what could be achieved if only they had... etc..They are so obvious and yet people fall for it...they infuriate me....buy your own tools, materials etc... What is Marie going to do for income when the bnb season ends and there are not any guests to 'con' with her workshops... will she go home again, will she be take over Nattis role? Will she still forage and sell her wares at the local market...does she even have a plan other than going for long walks and couting her blessings... she may well count her blessings as she doesn't have any money to count.

Boy there is some mad people in this world ..how do I set up a page 🤔 😡😡😡
What happened to the days when you would borrow your mates? How often will he use it? Can't he get a reconditioned one...My dyson died last week, Mr Freesia said he'd order a new one... told him to hang fire until I'd done some homework...after watching you tube vids and reading and questioning it looked like it just needed a replacent batter... So for the grand total of £25,99 I purchased one. Dyson resurrected and doing fine...
Who knows how long it will last but I at least needed try it ....for now it has saved me £250 plus ....

Yes he needs therapy.... there is something he is holding onto that he needs to let go of including that plant... who's going to care for it?
Water it, shine it's leaves, re pot it... it will gather dust and cobwebs, a great memorium to Tineke

As long as you charge TOP dollar to those 2 twats when they visit your site, and odds on they will do, to rip them off good and proper, just as they do to all their besotted patreons.

Ah, thought maybe you were on hols. Sounds like a wonderful trip.

Still chucking it down on and off here, even affected the TV not impressed as wanted to see the Rugby last night. Fingers crossed for this evenings match England v South Africa.

Hope you've not got it too bad there, was watching it on the news last night (when the TV worked) all the flooding.

Still same old same old with F4F but her THRUSH infection is getting worse lol

Fanny's dailies maybe not attracting more viewers but it is earning her more, as she has 100k plus watching her daily trash turnout instead of 100k watching just twice a week. At this point I can't believe I tune in it is utter garbage with her shrill faux excitement. The CD's has nothing to commend it and not even any redeeming features it is moronic. I just watch to come and chat here which is also nuts I suppose. Thanks @ComtesseRose for another thread you're the best
