The Chateau Diaries #304 Grifting from grannies is not an honest living!

[graciemckitten]

Click to watch Stephanie bullshit about Marie’s meal, declaring “ it is like being a super swanky restaurant every single weekend with you.” Still trying to justify that excessive €75 charge per diner Stephanie? Stephanie certainly looks swanky wandering around the dump with a dirty napkin. attached to a necklace. We will never see the necklace napkin holder again after this video.

Looks like Grant knows he has to fend for himself if he wants to eat decently at the dump and is ordered in a barbecue grill so he can grill steaks and other meats for himself and his daughter.

Click and watch 15 seconds of Dump side piece Grant kissing Stephanie’s ass by talking about how she was cracking the whip to make him work. It was only going to receive bread and butter for supper.




she was up
7:20
there working I was cracking the whip
7:23
she stood to stretch and rest her back
7:25
and went
7:26
o back at it if you want to get bread
7:29

It makes you realize that if someone who pays €75 for a meal at the Dump receives such a minuscule amount of food for that price, that the stories the volunteers told about being allotted tiny, tiny cheap portions of food meals and watching Percy and Mummy argue about whether a volunteer could receive a single thin slice of ham are all true. Do you remember when Stephanie gave some visiting guests one or two Scotch eggs for them to share? She is selfish and miserly with everyone in this world, except herself. Recall that Marie had to personally purchase items for the bed-and-breakfast, because Stephanie would not buy certain foods that were necessary. Marie has to individually store and label all of her own personal food Which we have seen Stephanie inspect on camera to make sure that it is definitely food that Marie paid for and not food that belongs to the dump

The Scotch egg vlog- Fanny was pretty soused (she had been drinking) and decided to make Scotch eggs (and not much of anything else.) This was when the Rosieres came to visit. Amy and Marc arrived at night, looking exhausted and hungry, and were given two eggs total to share with the children. That was a really strange vlog- almost as strange as the one a few weeks prior where Snorts and Fanny went to visit Amy and Marc (the messy house vlog), picked asparagus from the garden, and that was pretty much what was shown for dinner. They are all a really odd lot!

 

[graciemckitten]

Click to watch snarky Stephanie mock Marie’s clothes shopping expedition.

Marie’s face as Stephanie claims that Marie has been “ on a haul” shopping.Good times at the Dump.,During this time, you will see both of them ignore Ratso’s attempts to get them to let him outside to pee. Ratso barks at 8:24, 8:41 he starts whining, 8:45 he is pleading to go outside, 8:58 begging to go outside, 9:42, Stephanie remarks about Ratso:”someone's looking a bit anxious” At 9:45, Marie finally asks Ratso, “ do you want to go outside” as the dog ” races” out the door to pee.

Stephanie make the snarky remark in the kitchen:

9:05
we're lucky we're in the middle of
9:06
nowhere stuff gets delivered like
9:07
lightning

 

[On Repeat]

Mireille- To admire, to look.
Even when Stephanie Jarvis is peddling her lies under an assumed name, her ego can't let go. Sad.

 

[Lady Avonlea]

Why wouldn't he be included in the meal with the guests? If anything he adds humour and conversation!

Because Fanny would charge Grant & his daughter 150 Euro each night. Grant's going to purchase his own food and cook tasty, real meals on the BBQ every night that actually fill a dinner plate. No minuscule portions of sorel soup, pea shoots, 3 radishes, and 1 asparagus spear for Grant.

 

[T Rex]

Meanwhile at Chateau de Purnon, they are making incredible progress on the exterior, a shower room and are having the electrics, plumbing and heating components installed. This is what happens when one has an actual PLAN and a course of action for their plan. Things are done in the proper order and correctly.

 

[graciemckitten]

Multi millionaire, Stephanie is so cheap that she will not replace the old nasty broken grate in the outdoor grill so Grant had to order and pay for a new grate to install on the old barbecue grill next to the kitchen. Stephanie has no embarrassment or shame at the pathetic state of the grill. Remember when Potts fled the Dump after the Boxing Day barbecue and left the filthy grill and his bbq mess at the dump for others to clean up, as well as leaving a speeding ticket that he wanted Ñutty to pay for him?

The grill is filthy and was not cleaned after.Pottie’s Boxing Day barbecue or ever. Typical holiday from hygiene Dump filth. such a dirty group of people. Stephanie claims that the new grifted grate is “ swanky“ ( she must have been reading her word of the day calendar again).

Stephanie has no shame from grifting off of every person that enters her life. She is shameless.



Click to watch Marie complain that someone forgot the poo bags. Who believes that any of the lazy Dump crew members clean up Ratso’s poop in the courtyard or yard at the Dump? have we ever seen Marie with a Ratso poo bag before? Stephanie gives a smart ass snarky reply.


Marie:
10:03
someone forgotten the Poo bags over here

Stephanie snarkily replies:
uh I haven't. I didn't poo over there. I
10:10
didn't know. it wasn't you grant ?no I
10:13
thought about it…..

Good Luck Grahnt!! Never ever works on the truly ill

He knew he'd hit a roadblock when he said to her, you want me to box this up but not this and this.
Having a 'collector' for a father, Grant knows a hoarder when he sees one.

 

[Gertrude Maud]

Did you notice that there was a wire basket of ground chicken eggs on the kitchen table in the video? Did the eggs come from Kirstie or are they planning a reveal of chickens reinstated at the dump And with no explanation as to their disappearance?

Ground egg shells are used to add calcium to soil in the garden.

What the hell !!!!?????
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!!!

Looking at his back garden, pool area and the back of their house, I think Grant would be very house proud.

Some people stereotypically call anywhere in the country 'the bush'. Bathurst is not 'bush'. It is a city with extremely rich farmland, the other side of the Great Divide and only about two hours north west of Sydney. It is steeped in history and has a gold rush heritage.

Click to watch about 15 seconds of Stephanie pretending to be “ cutesy” by repeatedly, scraping her unwashed huge man sized fingers across a scraper scooping up as much custard if she could eat WIsn’t she the cutest greedy little 50-year-old orphan princess in the world? She then disingenuously love bombs Marie by declaring that it “tastes like the paaaaaaaaaaaaaaarfect patisserie custard.” She then further tries to be cutesy by asking to try a bit more custard, just to check. Double check ” Isn’t she precious? She loudly
moans, “ Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm………..” as she scrapes more custard off the scraper.

At least she spared viewers and didn’t smear the custard all over her face this time, like she did with her scripted “cutesy” chocolate mess at the kitchen sink.

How much do believe Stephanie paid for more stupid paneling for a Dump bedroom? She is going to attach wood paneling to crumbling, structurally failing dump walls?

Do you like how she slid the huge purchase into the video? How many dozens of other purchases has she been hiding?

You need a formal Chateau Library with beautiful wood bookcases, a comfortable reading chair or two with footstools, etc. I think it would get a lot of use.

Storing books outside in a container is really not the best idea. Please get some anti desiccants and put in that container. The books will get musty and possibly moldy. There will be a lot of temperature fluctuations in there , hot and cold and moisture. Don’t you have space upstairs in Narnia ? Two years of books outside in a container in winter and summer is a terrible idea

[Lady Avonlea]

Fanny,
- you silly shopaholic girl, we know you're really just hiding stuff from Mummy
- you're going to need at least two more shipping containers to hold all the crap you want to hoard for the next two years.
- those few books you reluctantly packed up already total 40 boxes. Better order more than 120 packing boxes.
- two years of storage ????? Guess again! Based on your non-renovation record, think again, double that, and then keep adding.
- whatever you paid for those shipping containers, you paid too much. Those old things won't protect anything you store from the rain, the rodents, or the humidity. You need to pay for proper humidity storage units for the paneling, paper and linens.
- go through your items now and toss out the crap you don't need or want! It's not like you are doing anything else. You've got the time. You are an idiot to store it all!
- more damn paneling - you just slipped that little secret in hoping no one would notice
- who's going to move all your crap over to the shipping containers? So LieLanlande - how bloodly inefficient!!! Why weren't the containers dropped in the courtyard, loaded and then moved into place?
- you cheapstake - are you going to hire professional movers to pack and move all the panelling and breakables?
- not that anyone would want all your crap, but what prevents a thief from pulling up a tractor-trailer, hooking up the shipping containers, and absconding in the middle of the night? Now that so few people live at the shitoo and you've announced your storage plans on youtube, it would be quite easy. Or is that your plan so you can claim insurance?

Crapped out shipping containers that won't hold or protect all the stuff Fanny wants to store

40 boxes of books - and this is only a portion of the books that Fanny wants to pack up

More paneling Fanny has purchased under the radar......

I share the concerns about the damp, mold and critters. And the containers were placed directly on the grass, which will rot and animals will burrow underneath. I think the vegetation should have been removed first and the containers raised up on blocks to allow air circulation and reduce the problem with animals. Unless there is more to the plan..

I have done exactly this and paid the price. Basically had to toss about 60% of the books, mostly mould but also containers are not rodent & insect proof and had damage from both cockroaches and mice as well. Don't do it if the books and panelling are important to you. I will say I was out of country, stored the containers on my parents property and they were not regularly checked but even so really don't recommend.

I watch your blog every day it is on. I usually do not make comments, however I feel this is important. I was a sales representative for large international moving companies for 30 years before I retired in 2013. I am concerned about the containers u have leased. These containers have no ventilation, they do not breath & will become extremely hot in the summer months. I am concerned about the antique paneling. The heat could cause it to buckle. Also the finish can melt & stick to fabric, paper & especially plastic. Those containers can get up to 110 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Blessings. Nancy Straub

Think about it…disgusting garbage has been in there.

 

[Lady Avonlea]

Let me get this straight... years ago books crowding a hallway were moved unboxed to the barn by a old wagon or oxcart where they rot away and now they've rented containers to house more books & china for several years she said. They are also putting the paneling from the grand salon which Amaury made a fuss about saying how important it was acclimatize the panels in the house before installation. So the paneling will be too moist or warped to install, the books will be damp & moldy (surely causing allergy prone Snorts to have an asthma attack).Plus she snuck in the fact she has ordered more paneling as well. If we didn't know already that she was bonkers,
we know it now!

Amuary & Natti finally figured out Fanny is bonkers and that's why they have called time! Amuary's not going to wait around two years to install the paneling (and he knows that's Fanny setting an optimistic timeline). Amuary no longer wants anything to do with Fanny, her Grand Salon or her paneling.

When I still enjoyed the videos and didn't 'see' the grift, I day dreamed of going to Lala and sorting out the books. As a librarian I would have had a sneaky weed of the books, even as a fan. I would have set up at least different sections for cookery, porcelain, interior design etc. And put the novels into genre too.

As a retired library clerk - school and public, I can't emphasize enough that storing books in cardboard boxes in a unheated metal storage container for two years is a recipe for disaster. You might as well take all the boxes you have just packed and take them right away to the recycling depot and save yourself the trouble two years from now. There must be an empty room (heated) in your chateau that the books can be stored on bookshelves until you are ready to display them. Please listen to all your subscriber's advice.

There must be an empty room (heated) in your chateau that the books can be stored on bookshelves until you are ready to display them. Please listen to all your subscriber's advice.

You need a massive intervention. Instead you are surrounded by sycophants, enablers and paid bootlickers.
