The Chateau Diaries #278 Fanny sleeps in her make-up, eats like a trash panda, and drinks like a fish

[Lochness Monster]

Over at the convent … Michael is playing the organ. That bloke for all his faults has so many skills and interests.

 

[BlessingoftheHounds]

just watching michael in the chapel and i can not remember seeing him this enthused over anything in a long time.. I hope it all works out for him because he can do an amazing job on that ceiling

Michael Pethangelo appears to know his paints and wears a safety harness.

Tatties and Mince.

What Gerry was expecting v the regurgitated mess of unidenified matter slopped up by Lalande's gourmet kitchen.

You guys crack me up when you refer to his 'lady desk'.

I sometimes wonder how Nati can work at her desk with so much going on in the petite salon. I wonder if she would like a dedicated office space with a proper door.

There is a desk area upstairs she can also use when the heat is finished. Her files are upstairs or in the new China cabinet bottom drawers that she claimed.

Antoine is now 13, and his mother wants the pool built in the back. That would bring him and his friends for a visit. Dan's children could also visit more during the year.

After the heating system is finished and the Grand Salon is done, then the apartments by the wood hanger will also be done. Steve is working on new wallpaper for even the rose room for the B&B and staff rooms. Upstairs in the attic, the bamboo room, Marie's bedroom, and bathroom and tiny room are being worked on. One day, Amaury and Natti will have choices of area. A new pool area and building could be built with a gite there for them.

WTF.. Caroline Gooder even knows the exact drawer location of Nattie's files and that Antoine's mother wants a pool built?? Who he she?

She really wasn't into getting the tree up and decorated, and seemed rather resigned about it all . . . she wished Jared was there to do it for her.

Just a little reminder of what Jared's capable of in the Christmas tree department.......

 

[Lochness Monster]

Another big fat lie.
Fanny has been dropped by channel 4 as already surmised.
Saving it for patron , yeah right. How can those patron not recall that this was being ‘ saved’ for ‘ British tv .

Nick the tree man is reading all of the comments on Dan’s video just released an hour ago and replied to a viewer. Thank you Nick for posting a reply! Hope you have a good holiday season and get a few days off to rest.

I’ll be watching every millimetre of growth. It's a very windy site & I want the ties off asap. Any chance I don'tput stakes in but here is necessary, plus that is why I've screwed them, as opposed to nails.

40 minutes ago @oldmaninthewood thank you, you tip on the ivy growing up trees; helped us save a young black walnut! The high winds have destroyed so many of our trees in our woods. Lost our dear 75 year old White pine. Thank you, for all you do! We all appreciate your hard work!

One thing I’ve noticed about the dump is that they don’t have quite so many parties anymore. I guess now that everyone has their regular shag they don’t need a drunken crowd to get lucky…. Good luck meeting anyone Marie.

In Brenda's world, it would have been worse if it was a Lalander that died, based on her previous post about Mhakotso.

Thank you, @LadyRed

The Chateau Diaries #254 The Chatelaine de Shopping let The Kat out of the bag

Before PhiPhi came into the scene, SJ was VERY likely in a lesbian relationship with Marie. I have a sneaky feeling that SJ also had something going on with Hanni. Perhaps, living in Lalande with all of SJ's former and current lovers coming and going was too much weight for Marie's mind to bear...

LOL. Claiming that viewers disliked the dining chairs has opened the floodgates of everybody thinking it's okay to give their unsolicited interior design advice. That one backfired in her face...

Marie is probably hoping to get some free goodies from Hotel Chocolat and Fanny will be seeking sponsorship from them!

Definitely salon chairs dining chairs do not come with four carvers. The stools were a separate lot Fanny just lied AGAIN

It wasn't the dining room chairs that needed to be replaced. You could have reupholstered the chairs yourself with the mass amount of fabric you have squirreled away

Oh my. Chairs are too wide for the dining table. Another purchase must be made now.

Yes, they are so right. Why has she got wardrobes in the attic stuffed to the brim with expensive fabrics that she's either bought or been given? She hardly ever uses any of the material. I thought Snorty wanted to learn how to upholster chairs! The penultimate comment also shows how exasperated some of the fans will become. She should not be spending 200 (plus) thousand on the chapel plus the spending on trees and more furniture when she has rooms in the house where the walls are coming apart from the floors and ceilings. The woman is truly insane and more people are beginning to realise this.

Dear Isabelle Jarvis

As you and the mob at your daughter's house read here daily, I am wondering what you make of you daughter's mouthpiece Caroline Gooder's recollection of how Gerry became part of your family?

It seems to me that your daughter has really stirred the pot this time and made your late husband seem like a creepy old man. I know you agree with her constant lying in order for her to make a quick buck, but surely to besmirch her own father in this way is beyond the pale? Did it upset you Isabelle that your family's little secret was exposed again in a very basic manner?

Will you be talking to your daughter and asking her to back peddle on this lie? Fancy at your age having to deal with an aging child as a daughter. You must live in despair.

 

[TorontoGWM]

C you next Tuesday
Has no money of her own for the chapel renovation yet flaunts
Another auction buy
In our faces and
Raves about her Truffle purchase.
Stupid bitch.

 

[Lady Avonlea]

Just because Fanny says she was going to make a lemon merengue pie doesn’t mean she actually intended to. How convenient there were no eggs - says Fanny. Didn’t seem she had any lemons either. Just an excuse to visit the chickens because there is fuck all else happening at the shitoo. Also, who the hell makes lemon merengue pie in December - not typically a Christmas time dessert.

ps Fanny - just because you say Happy Advent once during each CD doesn’t make it an Advent video. You lazy cow!

 

[On Repeat]

Like them or loathe them, the Pethericks are knocking Fanny's vlogs and Chapel restoration into a cocked hat. I hope this will be the focus that will insipre Michael to overcome whatever his problems may be. None of them are work shy that's for sure. This whole series on the Convent Chapel and the Organ has been a delight to watch and I like their format.

Not a Dan fan due to his constant risk taking and disrespect for tools/equipement BUT again a worker and he's just leaving Fanny in his wake.

Her star like the stars in her Chapel are fading slowly bit by bit.

Surely now, with the latest buy a star beg and then the very badly timed arrival of even more (positive there's more to come from that auction) unnecessary furniture purchases. More expensive clothes, the decadent purchase of ultra expensive white truffles it's about time people began to wake up. There is beginning to be more criticsm now than ever before and she'll hate this as she's not use to not being told she's special and precious. This is why she's putting out piss poor vlogs, she's finally copped the right arse about it and has had a strop.

I agree about the Pethericks. I have only watched Michael's earlier videos and have been "talked" into watching the Pethericks. I am impressed.
I enjoy that they are clean and tidy in their work, they achieve their goals, and the work is professional. The kitchen is a beauty. I also like having Nick Moon as an extra, he is grounded.
Michael is a great loss as a friend for Stephanie Jarvis. Something bad went down with that friendship and it is Stephanie Jarvis's loss.

Your three large lady chickens will start crowing soon if they havn't already.

Does she think that dedicating stars to MM, etc., absolves her from any negative effects to which she may have contributed?

No it does not.

How are Isabelle Jarvis' and Percy Attfield's Christmas buckets coming along???
Will there be gift certificates for meat???

RIP Mmakhotso Moloi

Love the new chairs though I never noticed the old ones but as you don’t mind comments about people’s dislikes could please paint the pantry door in the kitchen It just that my eyes always zoom in on it in the background and it needs a freshen up

FFS ..... there are heaps of cookery books at lalande but FRK couldn't make hot dog rolls because the WiFi was down and she couldn't Google recipes.

Fanny

1. instead of 'buying' a star for Mmakhotso, send the money to her family.

2. instead of 'buying' a star for Ian, send the money to Cancer Research.

3 instead of 'buying' a star for Christophe, put that money aside to go towards your court fees, as I suspect his partner regrets the day he ever set foot at the hovel.

You stated you were going to do a memorial garden for these poor souls but you'd have to show something for that. We only have your word that you've put your own money into buying them and we know that means jack shit.
