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

[Pekey]

She says Hello Cuz . . . he ignores her, keeps his back to her and continues opening the doors. I love it.

Cuz absolutely Hates her !!!
He will not look at her in the face.
Bun Boy needs to get out of France away from Snorts and Fanny - big time !

 

[graciemckitten]

We will have a glass of wine with our evening meal but it seems to be any excuse, any time of the day there. I suspect it doesn't stop at the one , hence why the old soak doesn't surface much before midday....hungover and it's starting to take it's tole on her appearance.

I think they are all pickled, 40 proof, with the exception of flower child Marie who is abstaining from alcohol and birth control in hopes of having a trap baby with anyone visiting the Dump or whom she meets foraging for crap in the forest, in hopes of finding a long term partner.

Fanny has a full bar set up in her bedroom. Tante ton and Nutty are always lifting a flute of champagne or wine, Amaury has a beer permanently affixed to his hand or near his elbow when the sun goes down or with meals, Phi Phi has his sippy cup of sweet wine, and Fanny drinks everything that isn’t locked away or free ( she really, really LOVES BOTTOMLESS GLASSES OF FREE WINE, ALCOHOL, AND CHAMPAGNE).

Stephanie Jarvis and Philip Janssen have been paying too much for flawed items.
Do they know who is bidding them up???

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.

 

[On Repeat]

Why would Derek Jarvis pick up a boy off the street who was making a bonfire? Then the boy had a second family? Creepy as fuck.

Caroline Gooder you a muddying the waters- this latest explanation for Gerry not being your father's love child is quite revolting. In fact, you have just cheapened your father's name.

You cried crocodile tears (to Michael Petherick) and accused Tattlers of suggesting your father was a pedophile back in the day, and yet today you have said your father picked an unknown twelve years old boy off the street, and he became part of the family.

This lie has done far more damage to your late father's reputation than any gossip site could possibly achieve. It's time to give up Caroline, Stephanie, you are shooting yourself in the foot.

Oh Caaaaaaaaarolinnnnne, that’s not the story that Fanny, Mummy Dearest or the Tartan Terror have put about? Where’s Gerry’s mum? After all she worked for the Jarvises according to the original story? There’s never been mention of a Guy Fawkes bonfire. Frankly I can’t see Busy Izzy parting with a single penny for the Guy. I suppose that leaves the question, is it PhiPhi the Wonder Putz or Nazti the Guard Dog manning the noGooder account? Enquiring minds my dear, do tell.

Just wrote about this too! Whoever it is they have fucked up big time.

Following the Adopt a Star fundraising campaign, the Chatelaine de Monetization will be selling the following relics with certificates of authenticity created by Permasmile:

1. Finger of St. Joseph - 100 Euros (100 available)
2. Nipple of Mary - 125 Euros (30 available)
3. Foreskin of Christ - 200 Euros (1000 available)
4. Vile of Anmoury’s Sweat - 750 Euros (none currently available because he hasn’t sweated or done any real work in over a year)

The Chatelaine will share no liability and send no refunds if it is later found out that the relics are fake.

 

[asumgal]

What's weird is how none of the Lalande crew seem to have any independent hobbies, interests, friendships, or social life, outside of the dump circle or the transactional chateauverse circle. If Marie wants to find a partner she should get an electric pushbike and go and join some clubs or societies in the nearby towns and villages.

 

[graciemckitten]

Pottie has been a busy boy working on his computer. Read the revised adopt a star “opportunity.” Grifters gonna grift.

Adopt

The Chapel of Saint Joseph at Lalande was built in 1865 after the tragic death of Charles de Nadaillac, the five year-old son of the Marquis and Marquise de Nadaillac, who drowned in the chateau's ancient moat. Charles' deeply religious parents spared no expense in the building and decorating of...

shop.chateaudelalande.com

They have separated the ceiling into different constellations: Jesus, Virgin Mary, Saint Joseph, Archangel Gabriel,Saint Charles Borromeo. They never mention how many stars are in each “ constellation” or whether they will double book/ sell the same star to multiple people.

*******They specifically state that the “ paintwork restorers are specialists who have also worked at the Chateau de Versailles and are currently restoring the Catherdral of Notre Dame in Paris.” Fanny denied this a couple days ago under her alter ego Caroline Gooder in the cd comment section.

Here is the updated LieLande chapel adopt a star scam chart.
6 pointed star 222 dollars
5 pointed star 110
4 pointed star 56


So just yesterday’s new purchases of the new dining room chairs, stools, white truffles, and chairs for the lady desk room ( without shipping) cost approximately 3812 euros converted to US dollars is currently $ 4,112.62 OR

Kicking Miss Chatelaine permanently out of the Dump: Buy every star in every constellation.

I don't think it gets worse than someone dying Brenda you cloven hooved troll

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

 

[Just Grift Wood]

The chairs are an improvement but unfortunately too large in scale for the shite table. Why is Snorts obsessed with having 22 pieces of all porcelain when he now only has 14 chairs. I also think the green is now the focal point of the room not the wallpaper. She has once again paid for just second hand modern chairs which will devalue rather than increase in her lifetime. Our Family friend lived in the same apartment block as Olivia De Havilland and shattered my image of "Melly" she said she was a vicious old bat and quite the tartar.

It would have been much cheaper to re cover the old chairs-they didn't need reupholstering just covering.

Potts makes my flesh crawl there is something off with that smarmy perv

They are all as common as muck, total philistines I mean who the fuck eats tagliatelle with a knife and fork? Why waste possibly £100 worth of truffle on the Scottish attention seeker save it for Aunt and Uncle who would appreciate it. Fanny declaring it is her first white truffle as though she has been deprived- she is rank. Her lack of manners and good upbringing extends to the Chapel artisans, do you realise no one has been taking them drinks or cake what a bunch of pig ignorant fuckers they are. When I was renovating there was a regular flow of drinks snacks and I made lunch for everyone too.

Amaury is fed up of lugging furniture-Fanny could have helped carry those in. He really no longer like Stephanie and Natti is trying to keep the peace. He looked refreshed and happy when he returned within a few days he looks ready to explode and so cross. I think Amaury is a decent guy and I don't have a problem with Natti either-Fanny stoked her up over Selmar. I think Amaury is a decent guy and he finds the profligacy and wanton spending obscene.

I think the faux welcome kiss with Pube boy in the doorway was to stir old Potts up-he likes to watch.

So,
Chef Stuart is announcing she will be a host on the joie de verve (SP ) network. So, she is on a streaming tv show as a host. She will cook and other things. So she arrived on scene at LaLaLande with a plan and has executed. She’s going to end up with Fanny’s lifestyle show.

Shame she can't cook for shit

Day 11 of Advent vlogs in the house of multiple Christmas trees (usually) and not a single one has been shown so far (Dan's doesn't count)

[Le Baiseur]

You would only know this if you were at the chateau.

Exactly!
I'm kind of late to this as I originally thought Ms. Gooder was just an obsessed fanatic with a Rain Man memory, but... there is absolutely no way she gleans all of that intel from the vlogs, socials, or Patreon vids. Ladyfriend is definitely an insider or one of the key players.

 

[Just Grift Wood]

They don’t look right because they’re not true dining chairs. Dining chairs do not have matching stools. Those are salon chairs, their size is the giveaway. You can call them dining chairs all you want. Wishing does not make it so. Those two are philistines!

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

[OhIDontKnow...]

Since I come from a middle eastern background, I sometimes don’t know if things look weird to me because of my different culture, or if they are just weird!

It seems to me that almost everyone at the shatto is always either drinking, or adding booze to their food in one form or another. Is it normal? Do people have drinks everyday of their lives and get giggly and excited at the sight of a bottle of wine or champagn?

I grew up with parents that didn’t drink more than a couple times a year. There was never booze in the house. I’m now married to a highly functioning alcoholic and I used to try to keep up with him, and I just cannot. I was a binge drinker as a youngster (weren’t we all fellow Americans??). I was never a wine with dinner person. I’d rather have a Coke. My observations as a now 53 year old teetotaler are as follows. 1. If you drink every day, unless you have only one drink, you’ve got a problem. 2. If you drink a lot every day, you have a problem. 3. If you have to drink in social settings, you have a problem. 4. If you drink more than two drinks at a time, you have a problem. 5. If the highlight of your day is drinking, you have a problem.

I know this, because I have had problems with drinking in the past. I drink maybe once or twice a year now. I always feel very anxious and physically bad the next day. I just don’t want to feel that way. Sadly, the absolute best I ever feel is when I’m kind of drunk. Therein lies the problem.

I’d say Fanny, PhiPhi, auntie and uncle, Anne Marie, Michael Potts, are all heavy drinkers. It does eventually sap energy from anyone who does it, highly functional or not. My hubs drinks 10-12 beers every night. He’s not the same guy he was when he was 30. I think he’s developing gait and neurological issues. I feel very badly for him, but I’m not going to nag him. I know for sure he has horrible anxiety from it. That’s why he starts over again every day. He’s a nice fella and a happy drunk. You can’t tell he’s drunk until he tries to walk. He’s a stellar employee, very responsible, and up and at it every day. I know I couldn’t do it, and I no longer choose to.

Tea time. Amaury and Natti don't eat dinner at Lalande but go to their apartment. Amaury will skip dinner and work until late unless Natti takes him home. Once his parents are back, they may stay for dinner.

Love the new chairs and dining room decor. But please, please after the holidays, re stain and wax or varnish the dining room table top and leaves asap. They let the room down every time you set that table with such care. And we see it every week. It's in terrible shape.

I hope someone can figure out how to prominently mention the price of those truffles into a mean spirited cd TL thread title.

Math problem:With average price of white truffles €2,648.25. How many truffles equal 200k for the chapel?

 

[Lochness Monster]

You're very kind to make those very reasonable suggestions in order for him to improve his future prospects. Sadly, they will fall on deaf ears.

Ladyfingers has just positioned one chair by the fire and is recovering.

No mention of the price of the truffles, but what about something like this?

White truffles, travels, tat, always spending more. Keep sending me your money, cause I'm so very poor!

 

[Tartuffe]

Here are the Jacques Garcia chairs that Stephanie purchased at Bonhams in October for her hallway dining room. They only cost €2,304, which includes the premium. Lord knows what the shipping charges were.

Bonhams Cars : Suite de dix chaises et quatre de fauteuils en bois peint blanc et doré. Style Louis XV

A dossier plat de forme mouvementée à décor de moulure et sculpté de fleurettes, pieds cambrés. D'après un modèle de Blanchard réalisé par l'Atelier Massant Fauteuil: H. 97 cm - L. 64 cm - P. 50 cm Chaise: H. 97 cm - L. 52 cm - P. 40 cm A set of four armchairs and ten dining-Chairs.

cars.bonhams.com

[But to be fair, for 14 chairs (4 arm chairs plus 10 side chairs), €164-ish per chair is not a bad price.]

 

[Lady Avonlea]

Look at Fanny chiding Potts for putting his belongings downstairs. He is very meek and pretends he doesn’t hear her. He is frightened of her wrath and acts like a tiny child getting scolded by a domineering mother.

Thank you for clarifying, I was just looking at the title of the auction, it looks like halfway thru the items listed, other sellers are noted.

Snorty didn't join folks for dinner and kept unwrapping his precious chairs. "Look Mummy, look everyone, see how well I did. Aren't these perfect. Sit down on them. Tell me how much you love these chairs. Didn't I do well? Tell me how well I did!"

No different than the day Snorty brought home all those ugly vases from Emaus. He ignored folks eating lunch, exacted their attention while he unwrapped the vases, showed off his purchases and demanded they immediately acknowledge and congratulate him. Snorty is a narcissistic, insecure, pampered, little spoiled boy.

How can Fanny be attracted to that child, let alone snog him in the back passage? Honestly, Snorty was returning from picking up Gerry at the airport, not returning from war. What was that odd show of affection in aid of?

I do not for the life of me understand the depths of greediness that you would actually ask people to buy a star in memory of a loved one. What if you asked people to donate to the cancer society, food bank etc. Shame on you.

I liked the other chairs but the new do match the curtains and that is important. My request is PLEASE repaint the grey cupboard in the kitchen. There is a hand mark on it that has worn away the paint and it makes me twitch. Perhaps someone could stencil blue and white on the doors? Great pantry cupboard- just needs that spot...
