The Chateau Diaries #301 The robo mop did more work in 5 minutes than Fanny has in 20 years

[Imperious Me]

So Davy is behind Dans Chateau plant scheme, minimal maintenance a major factor ! It looks a million times better than everything at CHMN already.
Cat playing the "coy helper" is nauseating.

Kat's gone from the party fun girl everyone loved to Dan's silent helper... like Annalise...

 

[C'est moi]

This Hell Hound and her daughter are off for a 7 day break tomorrow.
I have my pain killers to take if my tummy plays up but it has settled down .

Bon voyage @Pekey have a wonderful and don't go mad. Nice and steady wins the race

"Just Mo" is a typical waster of his generation. He doesn't want to work, but he does like the handouts. At the time, for him, hooking into Sadie was the best thing that happened to him. He could stop actually working for a living and live off the Pethericks. He got YT airtime, his 5 minutes of fame. Some of the Pethericks fans continue to follow him. Do they "buy him a coffee" or does he have a Patreon? I don't know. But he is only in it for getting money for not working. I certainly wouldn't trust him.

His introducing Yanis to the Pethericks, however, was the very best thing to happen to Yannis. He is learning skills. He works hard. He is kind and gentle. The Pethericks certainly seem to nurture him.

Does anybody else think Mo and Sadie have broken up? Yannis gets on well with the children as well, you always get a shot of him with them if they are in the vlog.

 

[C'est moi]

Have a lovely time Pekey, fingers crossed pain will not be needed. xxx

This old menopausal hag is going back to the UK for 4 days tomorrow. The Arkansas Chugabug (white van) is ready, so it's Spratt's on tour and we'll see how long it is before something pisses us off over there.

Bon voyage, aussi. Safe travels. But... babe, rather you than me. I had the "opportunity" to go visit a couple of weeks ago. M.i.l. popped her clogs. Finally. May I burn downstairs for saying this but, franchement, she's no loss. I declined the "invitation" graciously, himself quite understood. He went alone, in and out in 12 hours. Phew! He hadn't even got off the plane at Heathrow and was already pissed off and wondering why he bothered. I haven't visited the UK for about 11 years. The last time was such a nightmare with my mother making life incredibly difficult I vowed I wouldn't return while she was still drawing breath. We were in and out in under 72 hours and it was a business trip, not pleasure. But she managed to monopolise as much of our time as she could arranging family dinners and such like that we simply didn't have time for. Both himself and I have/had difficult relationships with our respective mothers.

Yes. Mo's been given marching orders, I'd say. Lazy, incredibly lazy. I would say that Billy and the Petherick clan decided it was time for him to leave. The relationship between Sadie and Mo seemed quite strained in their more recent vlogs. I wouldn't be surprised if she was finding it difficult to get him to do anything. When he turned up at the convent with his friends to do some graft clearing the courtyard it was his 2 friends that did all the work. He filmed, swept something but is not what you would call a hard grafter. Yannis was one of those friends. Now he's willing to get stuck in, help without being asked and learning new skills.

Believe you me, if it wasn't for the fact I want stuff out of Mum's loft I wouldn't be going. My sister in law said why wasn't I staying for a week duck off! She'll ask when are we coming back again and i will say don't hold your breath. Luckily 2 out of the 4 days are basically travelling.

Been away for too long now, it's all weird to me now over there. Wish me luck.

Oh let me know how they do, I've been looking for some of those.

 

[Kickintheass]

Next week has just been totally reorganised. Granddaughter of a cousin of my deceased step MIL is coming to Ireland. Never met the girl before. Was meant to be going to another member of the family but they have to work.

 

[Lady Avonlea]

The guests left on Sunday or Monday so really what is the problem?

There’s no problem. Fanny fulfilled her obligation to have Friday night dinner with the guests and then quickly buggered off on a trip somewhere. There’s SFA to film at the shitoo (how many walks in the garden and talks in the chapel can she do), so she’s likely just rushing back from wherever she’s been. Also why post when her stupid, blind fans always seem to forgive her every bloody indiscretion, and indeed tell her to rest because she works so hard.

We all know Fanny only transfers minimal money through the association, just less than the figure to publish accounts. If the accounts exist you could ask for a copy from her prefecture. As an officer she limited on what she can pay herself from the association, 3/4 of the French minimum wage which is around 13€hr. That wouldn’t interest her so she’s either not declaring or directing it through her other French businesses.

There’s no problem. Fanny fulfilled her obligation to have Friday night dinner with the guests and then quickly buggered off on a trip somewhere. There’s SFA to film at the shitoo (how many walks in the garden and talks in the chapel can she do), so she’s likely just rushing back from wherever she’s been. Also why post when her stupid, blind fans always seem to forgive her every bloody indiscretion, and indeed tell her to rest because she works so hard.

Doesn’t the owner have to be present in order for alcohol to be served at the B&B dinners? That means she would have to be present at all dinners. I wonder how she got away with Permasmile hosting a dinner last year so alcohol could be served?

I wouldn’t be surprised if she shows up at Dan’s to help plant.

duck a doodle do. Agree, another little holiday for the poor little precious as she was shagged out after all that receipt scanning and then interviewing the sycophantic followers for their feedback. She has not done so much work since the great napkin debacle when she wore herself into the ground setting up the grifted machine to embroider their initials. Anyone notice whether the inmates are now using these napkins, conspicuous by their absence I’d say.

I said months ago I thought that... He went into the woods and made a meal with Yanis... even then I felt vibes, he was kind of down and it was all odd... Like he was trying to find somewhere to go to keep out of her way..

Now, now, don't be horrible!
Crocheting is a great hobby, seriously! Beats "Tablescaping" any time! I'm sure Lance will love his lil' granny square outfit!
And look at this: ain't it just cute?!

Absolutely @Alice Strictknickers. I love to crochet , and actually sell these.

I get the feeling Cat is kind of "organic" natural grey hair at a young age, doesn't shave, wear makeup , no bra and is like a rabbit in and out of the sack. Also not very feminine, Dan must like it that way. Totally different than his baby Mama
