It's confusing....I checked the yeast in my cupboard, which I get from King Arthur Baking Co. It says SAF-Instant yeast, but the company name of "Lesaffre" is on the bottom of the bag. I never knew of another yeast called SAF.



And their website is called saf-instant.com

She turned a blind eye.. have to be careful who you associate with. She clearly didn't steal anything but look where she's at now. Who hasn't known someone sometime doing something illegal... Someone who does drugs, a friend who drives when they've had one too many, someone who always seems to have dodgy stuff to sell... Nobody tells the police. Billy has been at the convent 7 days a week, so I'm assuming things at home have been strained for some time. I will watch the convent restoration because it's extremely interesting, I like who he brings in to do the work, anything we know of now is stuff from 10+ years ago. The repercussions can only go so far. The stress, the $$, the time back and forth to court, the humiliation, marital/family stress, now some here saying his money maker/YT account should be cancelled... seriously, the guy was tried, in prison for 3 months, not allowed to see his partner.. How much is too much for stealing when you were young and dumb? Have you seen the news lately?

I could see that. Don't be fooled, the Strawbridges are not nice people. They are bullies, they like to bully and they mix their business with bullies. They have hosted some real wolves in sheeps clothing at their chateau.

I'm still watching to see the con Fanny's downfall and would miss our little family of haters, menopausal hags, trolls, hellhounds, nasty bitches, gobshites, snide cows, non-menopausal hags and esteemed tattlers.
I think there's a difference. Can't quite put my finger on it. Fanny is educated and grifting in a more interesting way is the closer I can come to it. She has farther to fall and is more corrupt, while still passing as upwardly mobile, lower middle class aspiring to aristo. The Pethericks are going nowhere, I don't see them pretending to be posh. Billy and Michael are bogarting Gwen's chateau for themselves. Gwen couldn't have taken it on without a brawny partner. Sitting in the Merc writing her dissertation while her boyfriend plunders the countryside? This is also enabling, just like Ma Petherick.

I noticed that too. Actually both he and Chantelle were not their usual 'play it for the camera' selves. As soon he realised she was filming when she walked in, his face said, oh no give us a break, can't we have a quiet moment without the pink phone. He also didn't like getting caught with a paper napkin protecting his clothes . . . on sighting the phone he quickly pulled it out of the top of his shirt. They wanted a down moment and she won't let them. I have no sympathy. It's the price they pay for being part of the grift.

I also tend to think Marie may be responsible for a fair few accidents; remember her scrapes in cars? She had some in her own car as well as damaging the Jag. She didn't appear to apologise for that, and I think she can also be rather devious. If Ratso killed the cocks, he could well have been with her but would she admit it? She'd probably say he'd escaped from the building. Perhaps she could bump into the Ardmore vase. I agree she can be mean and nasty and I think she also deliberately tries to disturb others in an attempt to look superior, as if she's doing something important. How ridiculous to empty the fridge or cupboard and put everything on the table at a time when two other people were attempting to prepare a meal.

Snorts own squirty mayo…with free range egg yolks in it!
Why do they have so much junk in that fridge. They do not use a pantry for things that could be stored there surely?

Thank you. I could have tried the dictionary first, totally forgot about it
But I actually thought spiv was a made up word, an acronym like awol, mia etc… as the corrector didn’t find it when I wrote.

Is Snorts a spiv too?
Nah he’s just a t*ss*r

Who is keeping a track of the open and shut case of the bowl of hyacinths.
The flowers are closed here??
Have the dastardly duo gone to SA already?
I somehow recall Fanny mentioning Tante two tonne discussing staying at the beach house’ next time’ which might mean they are accompanying Fanny to SA?

Please can we get an air tag for Fanny it would save us a lot of wondering!

I'm surprised they are there yet again. Surely they could take Molly to their property in the south. They must have promised IJ that they would babysit Fanny but if they are supposed to be reigning her in, they are not doing much about it. I agree that they are getting tired of being filmed at every single meal. I think Amaury has opened their eyes a bit.

Could be resentful because Fanny and Snorts won’t be bothered to empty out their hoarded shit everywhere and left it for the slaves to do.

Do any of you remember when they did a cooking competition? It may have been 3 or 4 years ago. FRK and I think Nasti were on one team, I can't remember who was Fanny's sidekick, it may have been Selmar...FRK showed her true colours, very competitive, ruthless.....
not the sweet innocent person she portrayed to be.

But Snorts is allergic to citrus
Isn't it oranges that he's allergic to? It's rather like the fact that he's allergic to chicken but not to turkey. He's a little boy with food fads and his grandparents and parents and now, his surrogate Mummy, have over-indulged him.

There was a.vlog where Billy took down a religious picture and hung his you tube silver plaque in its place. There was a lot of backlash from the grannies
