The Chateau Diaries #286 Fanny has bigger bulges in her face than PhiPhi has in his trousers

[Thebirdandthefrog]

Thank you EVERYONE for the love. Hospitals in my area of the Uk ( and others too) are so short staffed and the one I was admitted to had a Covid outbreak and also flu. Lots of staff off sick.
There were over 30 trolleys in the corridors with patients on them, me being one.
I have been discharged but need an emergency investigation which in our health service means two weeks…
The private option is about £2500 and tomorrow I will see if I can get something booked. My lovely Mum died of bowel cancer at about my age so the flags are up.
I am enjoying catching up on the comments in my more lucid moments . . The vlogs are worse than ever.

Hope it is something treatable, so many things can happen due to stress and anxiety and you have been through a lot.
Hope you get well soon.

May I ask what it was, in value neutral terms, that made people think SB was a flying monkey, and secondly, how hatred of Clara Burnett became connected? I am doing my due diligence in the search archives. The name Clarrie Burnout keeps popping up. Callada en siete idiomas on that one too.

And any information about the olden days of tattle CD that is shared will be welcomed by some of us late comers.. sometimes we are totally in the dark. Well, I am

I can’t remember what it was for SB. There were the occasional CB posts that struck me as being from more than one person due to the language used. Also, if the forum strayed from being Stephanie Jarvis focus she would police the thread. At a guess it wasn’t any one thing on CB until the end.

Find a new job?

When I moved to the USA I decided I'd had enough of flying around the place to work with dysfunctional people so I jumped of the corporate bandwagon and started teaching people to quilt and sew. I also longarm for $ for other quilters.

 

[billybudd]

Well well well well wellie well.
That is all.

 

[Imperious Me]

omg here we go again, pattern on pattern on pattern on white end table, lets put a pattern on it.... When she carpets that room, what's the bet she'll use a patterned one.

I was always under the impression that SB was SJ herself. It being one of the many sobriquet (thinly veiled) intended to "fool" those of us. Opinions???

 

[Balmoral]

Are we actually supposed to believe that Frickin Fanny toddles her way out of the gate, along the road, through the woods and back to the dump wearing her bathrobe, pyamas and velvet slippers??? Clutching cold tea and a pink phone?? B.S. Some other acolyte has filmed endless hours of pastoral scenes which she slots in with a 3 minute totter around the fountain. grrrrrrrrr

I don't want to poke this particular bear at all but SB was much smarter than Stephanie Jarvis.

 

[LittleMore Cottage]

Pavlina visited Mapperton.

She literally did I saw it on IG.... wonder if Julie will feature her in a vlog.

 

[Abuela]

Be still my heart, In tonight's vlog I heard Fanny say it's okay to admit you made a wrong decision and move on. Ok, Snorts start packing your china!

Today's Patreon video, with a summary underneath the thumbnail.
View attachment 2719527

- Patron's names on grand salon panelling: as soon as the grand salon panelling goes in. Next stage is changing the beams. This week an engineer will visit to create a report on what is needed. Then the chapel restorers will give her a quote based on this report. When that is done, Amaury will do his work. Has already made a lot of the framing. She is not sure what to make the spineless man do first: the grand salon or chambre perse and chambre des oiseaux.
- Facade: if going back in time, would she do the facade first instead of the interior project. She claims no money for the facade back then whereas the interior projects were needed to be able to live there. She really wants to do the facade, but the structural problems with the grand salon and chapel stopped her from being able to. Claims having the facade done will be a moral boost for everyone.
- Heating: the animal abuser and the con woman are tough and have electric blankets, so don't care they're freezing. Amaury did tell them, that when they were away recently, his farmhouse bedroom was 2°C/35,6°F.
- Every BnB visitor is a vlog watcher. Viewer's partners are apparantly often bewildered but warm up to the experience during their stay. No longer on Booking.com because it was too weird for non-viewers to be amongst sycophants. A French dub of Chateau DIY is broadcasted in France, so now also new visitors from France.
- Davey: she doesn't know when Davey wil be back at the chateau, but will see him at Chelsea.
- Fountain @ English garden: the chapel restorers are looking at what needs doing and will give a quote for putting it in.
- YouTube intro: took it out due to algorithm - it being skipped would have negative effect.
- Budget chapel vs lake or interior projects: highest priority due to it having structural problems (vault could have collapsed at any point). Not creating any more BnB rooms, as then they would be considered a hotel with corresponding regulations. Grand salon also highest priority due to structural tit.
- Who the f*ck is Gerry: spins the same old tale that Gerry often sat outside the nursing home where his mother worked, and then daddy Derek put him to work and they both adored each other. When the con clan moved to England, Gerry followed them.
- Daddy's porn tiles: the kitchen needs some redoing/streamlining. New bigger fridge will be placed along the wall where the ovens are and a wall needs to be moved. They don't know yet hove much space will be left for the porn tiles, so that little project is on hold. Depends on Amaury, but he will do the arriere cuisine before moving onto the kitchen.
- Salvaging chambre Perse's wallpaper: they don't know yet. The people that are going to do the paintwork on the chapel, will have a look at chambre perse to assess the work that needs doing to its walls. The wallpaper probs will be lost. Perhaps they will digitise it and recreate, or save what can be saved behind glass and put other wallpaper on top plus insulation (which she hasn't done in other rooms - insulation). She blabbered on about the wallpaper - I zoned out, sorry.
- Soundproofing grand salon: when steel beams are put in, they will soundproof it. The entire farmhouse is super noisy.
- Future fundraisers: no new one planned yet, but is looking into merchandise. She wants people to receive something for donating, such as the adopt a star.
- Handyman: the camerashy handyman is still working at the farmhouse, and often works together with Kirsty - currently on the new chicken coop.
- Gazebo: will be revealed probs end of Feb when Chateau DIY has been broadcast.
- Library: will be in the winter salon.
- Cluckingham Palace: Kirsty and the hidden handyman will be working on it, not every part has been ordered yet, will happen soon.
- Shutters: the shutters on the old part of the farmhouse will be replaced with internal shutters by Amaury. First the facade. Will also redo windows and put double glazed ones in.
Balconies: the little juliet balcony will be put on one of the gites. There will not be a balcony at the front of the farmhouse.
- Terrace: waiting for the quote and then the work will go ahead.
- Swimming pond and lake: she has permission now for the pond, but is not going ahead with it just yet, as she wants to finish other projects first ().

Thank you so much @tuffiti for all of your time spent on this.

Well isn’t that hilarious! She was telling us about someone who married a gay man. Speak of the devil…I mean Gay Twank !

Fanny has now relegated her gifted yellow hoodie to painting clothes. That didn't take long.

 

[billybudd]

Fanny is delusional she is now comparing herself and that twit to Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant, who apart from their idiosyncratic life choices were both talented designers and artists. Fanny and twit could never emulate their talent it is just too ridiculous to contemplate.
And what the hell has AnneMarie been doing for the last 9 months since his woodwork room had to be moved, his work tools are still not ready to be used!!!!!!
And twit rather than talk all day about hanging one painting grab a broom and sweep the floor in front of the wood burner, it’s disgusting.

Also, Duncan and Vanessa worked their tails off, painted all day every day they weren't doing interior decor for money.

Now that you mention it, I think that was the consensus.

 

[On Repeat]

I used to speak two other languages, aside from muttering this one, and the variations of pronunciation were wide and the cause of many a throwdown. One effective way to keep people from getting ahead in life is to accuse them of having the wrong accent.
I've also been looking into the politics of translating the ESV Bible. Translators choose American words designed to confirm Christian nationalist biases about what their Bible says, rather than an accurate and gifted word analog for what the original language writer meant, and what it means today.
In other words, it is possible for me, at least, to have been pronouncing something "wrong" all my life. Possibly on purpose. Around here, in certain academic circles, you can drive certain people crazy by saying Porto Rico instead of PWERRRRRRRTO RRRRICO. Nothing to be proud of.

Don't worry about pronouncing a word wrongly, good hearted listeners will laugh it off and correct you. Sometimes I think all this language hang-up on various dialects, pronunciations etc is a form of elitism. Kind of discriminating actually. The tired, old scream from "hand on your heart" conservatives is that the newcomer or the new country they might be visiting "don't even speak English". Ordinary, decent folk in any country will usually help you out as I help out non English speakers here.

I have a half brother who was an English language academic, an actor, a published writer, a script writer, and I can tell you, by the time he had formulated his sentence and spoken, I had forgotten the subject matter! Once I received an email from him that took at least three goes for me to understand what the hell he was saying. I showed my partner and he asked," Do people really speak that way?"

The last of the biggest offenses from SB, if I recall correctly, was when someone brand new came on here and said that they had gone to Oxford with Stephanie - am I remembering correctly? After one post, SB chased them off, rather aggressively.

Why wouldn't she put paper or a sheet under that thing? She deserves paint on her precious floor tiles..

They’re everywhere. Usually overeducated and under paid. They use verbal gymnastics, gibberish word salad. Intertwining words that really have no relevance to one another. The intention is to confuse, make you feel inferior. They think they are smarter, cleverer. Ask them to give a straightforward response and they can’t. They will get defensive and try to blubber something incoherent. They are incapable of making a simple universally understand point. It’s because in their mind, that’s beneath them, their huge intellect, and massive egos. Very sensitive snowflakes, but only for themselves. Imo, they’re just BS artists. And always boring. Best to ignore.

I was thinking the same thing she was too lazy to get a drop cloth, she sanded right onto the tiles as well. And why tell the story of the woman married to a gay man, and ssf get thinks they had sex once and had a child???? She is super bizarre
