You asked how I was doing , really kind of you.
Actually I am really struggling and can see that I need to make a break as nothing I am doing is helping and it certainly is damaging my own mental health .
Fortunately we have an annexe and I have temporarily decamped there but it is not susustainable.
It seems unimaginable at this stage of my life to contemplate such a decision.

It is a huge thing and at times feels unsurmountable.
Watching the crazy woman and her very strange relationship at the chateau certainly is a big distraction!

He went all that way to France to help a lazy old cow to declutter her ruin of a farmhouse !
I bet he never put the bins out for his wife and helped around His Home!!!

I get the impression that Grant is none too happy about having his meals in Cinderella's kitchen rather than sitting with the guests as he did when he was there with his wife. He will also be the odd job man doing all the heavy carrying which Snorty can't manage. I guess he won't enjoy his visit as much as he did in the past. Good for Amaury and Natti avoiding supper time, probably because they are fed up with acting as waiters and serving little lover boy. At least, he now has to pour the wine himself, which he won't like; he wants to play the lord of the manor at the head of the table, pretentious little prick!

It's literally insane that they're filling a storage container with books that they haven't even sorted out yet. You can't even call this decluttering. And now these random books, that will be thrown away anyway, are lying in a random container for another 2 years.

And look, Grant already has done more work in 5 minutes than Phiphi has in the last two years. Honestly, I think Grant is best chance for the chateau to get rid of Phiphi and his hoarding, and for Steph to see the light that her fiance is the most useless person ever. Come on, Grant, take this one for the team!

Oi Gooder, you just continuously talk out of your arse.

Meanwhile, Nathan Sherard is happily installing heating systems in other people's property. People who want to pay to fill it up and have it working.

I do wonder if there has been some kind of full structural survey done and the building has been deemed unsafe in other areas. Look how easily that huge chunk of masonary fell out by that roof window the other day.

She's gettng seriously out of her depth now, the years of hoarding and neglect can no longer be disguised/hidden.

WAKE UP VIEWERS IT'S ALL THERE IN PLAIN SIGHT NOW.

I keep saying this but these people are so fucking stupid, store the books in the attic, what are they watching? Do they not know that the château is falling down from the top? I’m deeply disturbed that these people who watch this grifter are in the world.

I'm heading off on holiday and am not bringing my laptop. There isn't a patreon flog yet, so unfortunately that means I won't be able to upload it until Saturday... Hopefully someone else is able to upload this time?

Burn it to the ground, that would be for the best I think. Plus if the shit hits the fan the fall guys are Natti and Amaury for ordering the containers, stephenfraude will never be responsible for anything

Sadly, Marie feels this is the treatment she, herself, deserves. Overworked and used for sure, yet she returned. She is 30 years old. I really hope she is paid fairly. We will never know. She accepts whatever it is though.

I wouldn't fancy eating any of the food "from the garden" knowing what Ratso does and how hopeless they all are at washing things and hygiene.

Do they not teach geography in the Netherlands. Netherlands to Bath via Lalande is a really terrible route plan.

Haven't posted or watched steffi for ages - what luck to be recommended the shipping containers episode. Not one brain cell between them. Absolutely brilliant. Guess that's one way to explain in 2026 why cuz couldn't do the panelling! I'm hoping the clothes and "costumes" go in next.

Serves him right for coming back

Please can someone give Nathan a call. It is in the interest of her patreons to know why he hasn’t come back.

I haven’t watched in two years. Maybe i should go take a peak.

Fanny said the container were to store stuff from the big room and bedrooms above. So far that is 40 boxes of books that are NOT from those rooms.
I imagine Snorts has to buy several lots to get the one piece he wants at auction, I noticed he has little colllections of odds and ends cups etc all over the place. He drives off to get his shopping fix , unpacks it for flog content , goodness knows who dumps it on the floors .
It is May and Mummy said she might be back in May.
Why not store stuff in the bagheads house they never use it.

40 boxes down three flights of stairs across to the damp rusty containers. Will Snorts help?

Now here's a useful idea for using up some of those huge wardrobes in some of the various chateau bedrooms, or even a corridor.



The above is the winner of stupid comment of the day on the Gibbons page.

Still Fanny has got a plethora of wardrobes but sadly every recent toilet plumbing effort has resulted in a bog that doesn't flush.

I really wonder if an architect, or some recent survey, has indicated that the stuff stored upstairs is in danger of causing a major collapse and that's why she got the containers. The next stuff to be stored will be all the textiles now in the wardrobes in Narnia. I can just imagine what would happen to all that fabric stored in a container! As for the books, she is really not interested in them at all, despite what she says. She and Snorts just like looking at the pretty pictures and the bulk of the books are just for show. Many of the books in the containers will have been gifts from fans and patrons, some of them may have been precious family possessions. Fanny could not care a fig for the books or the people who took the trouble to send them to her. If she starts grifting for a library, I would be furious. At least, John's wife was probably an intelligent woman (aside from marrying a tobacco supporter!) who loved books. John is building a library in her memory and will do it with care, respect, and good taste. Fanny would not be capable of any of that. I also think that the paneling being stored in a container, will be the final straw for Amaury. I think he will be furious and I hope it means he will not work on the Grand Salon. The problem is, if he does, back out of it, Fanny will, no doubt, use the need to employ a contractor, as an excuse to grift even more cash.
That woman needs immediate psychiatric treatment or, if she is not considered to be in need of treatment, then she needs locking up for her own and everyone else's sake.

I am waiting for Mummy to return.
That old woman is going to pop a gasket !
There will be fights and tantrums and hopefully Mummy will throw Snorts out as I do think the old girl has some $$$ in the place and Fanny is making it very down market and so - worth even less that was it was !
Can't wait!

Why not have a Book Sale on the Patron Days? Soft cover .25 cents & Hard cover .50 cents. She could probably raise enough funds to build the library.
