The Chateau Diaries #31 Who'll crawl out of the woodwork next?

[Train Wreck]

I know if I just dream hard enough, it can happen:
I want to become a historical dress designer as a business (and, to think, I just learned how to make a buttonhole!).
I want to receive florals daily in my own floral studio and whip them into bouquets for my own enjoyment.
I want to convince people to send me my favorite things (china, silver, Dolce & Gabbana cakes!) each week.
I want to convince people it is in both of our best interests to give me money to fix up my house (I promise I will only use it for renovations )

I willingly forgo filming myself weekly (there is not enough money in this world for me to give up my privacy) but if all that other could happen, life would be dreamy

Oh, wait, could someone also pour me wine and feed me on demand? That would also be super-nice.

I cannot figure where I have gone wrong in life. I have four degrees and have worked full time since I was 16 even through all these degrees yet I feel like I am just barely getting by. Yet here are people who I doubt have full time jobs now or ever and are not just existing but thriving on the handouts.

Sorry but I’ve worked a long day today and my tolerance for people like this has reached its limit.

She pretends she doesn't like a certain forum but she always mentioned it !

It's becoming an obsession for her !

I have seen the groups of supportive, exciting, inclusive costumers and historical community. I look forward to spending more time with you, my people. I hope the gossipers find some joy in ripping me apart in their tiny world, for I fear it may be the only joy they have. /end

Well, she certainly gave us enough to talk about with her charming imitation of a bag of beans, the way she draped herself on that ugly couch in the not so grand salon of the shittoo in last night’s vlog...

 

[Hemerocallis]

Those drawing are so strange....I paused the video so I could read comments here! The first drawing looks like Jimminy cricket or some strange sort of turtle? I cannot imagine having those anywhere

BINGO
You're absolutely right, I was always thinking about it and couldn't find out of what the drawings reminded me.

Here's a beauty from today's vlog:

Stephanie, have you thought about having these tiles in your entrance hall welcoming people into your chateau world?? Maybe as the floor?

Can you imagine. The naked threesome scene as you walk in! Do it! Do it!

Good idea, everyone would trample on them

Bud I’m saying it again - they have arsenic in their water
For one to get follicle fallout - genetic

For 4 of them in one Calendar year .... there’s trouble in them pipes

And she’s their employer

For shame - hope her insurance is up to date

Didn't she say that they exchanged all the pipes 16 years ago?

 

[Clara Burnett]

Come on! Nostrils knew he was being recorded! I find his voice very nasally...singing through his nose.

Any dreams of a professional carier as a singer can go straight out the window. Another thing he can thank SJ for.

It's all smoke and mirrors - Steve is obviously married to Brenda Gibbon! For Heaven's sake, does she have to look so bloody miserable?

Ma Trotter comes to mind too. It’s becoming a noticeble pattern, the way SJ’s fans are starting to look alike...

 

[Milre]

Neither Ryan nor Billy have a job. Actually, come to think of it, none of the shato scroungers have a job... Carte de Séjour or Carte de Sojourn?

I just decided to spend all my money and not to give or leave it for the kids. It seems it won't do them any good, at least I am not sure if it boosts the working morale.

 

[Pno]

Di

Well considering how they screwed up the geoheating god only knows what is up with any newer pipes. Also, the pipes leading to the garden were obviously not replaced and are failing and more than likely filled with lead which I’m pretty sure you should not use to water plants.

I have to agree. I thought of Pinocchio straight away, the Disney version. They're very childish images, can't think they'd look anything but silly up on the wall. The drawings of the chateau itself were ok, nothing great, but those cartoon people and animals, just ridiculous!

 

[Clara Burnett]

Why don't they just get water from the moat? A good pump will do the job and no endless digging needed. Sure they have Gardena in France? Easy to install system. Anyway, they should collect the rainwater.... I didn't get from where they are getting the water anyway? It seems to be such a long way, no wonder there is no pressure...
Let’s guess how many times Matt will hit the pipe?

She’s clueless, that’s why. And not interested in solutions that are practical and might actually work, because what’s she gonna vlog about then? No, she rather spends a fortune on gravel for her disaster of a courtyard before properly planning the underlying structure and the work on the shitoo’s facade and has it dug up over and over again. She’s a complete and utter idiot.

 

[Milre]

Philfending : Oh, I quite liked it. He does sing better than the average people. I would be happy to have his voice and to even be able to sing harmonies. In my brain it does sound good but people tell me I am always off. He seems to have some kind of practice and even schooling, at least choir experience. He never claimed that he is some kind of a professional.

You mean whimsical?

 

[Clara Burnett]

Ooh yes cheese man or the Georgian chef

I’ve heard some really juicy stories about the goat farmer, but for now just let me point out he likes his women older, much older. The way SJ is aging lately, he might be back at the shittoo soon

He never claimed that he is some kind of a professional.

Oh yes he has. He’s been to musical school in Holland and was in a regional boy band.

The tile project looks like a mess that may never get completed.

That’s because it is. She has given the projects to so many people now and nobody seems to get any further. Must be because there was a reason Derek got stuck on it, other than dying. Best to put that box somewhere on the attic, dear and forget about it. Do you not have all these wonderful jolly paintings of your father to remember him by? They have become part of the fabric of your shittoo already, no need to add to it...

At least the cartoon characters she showed had clothing. But she may have been warned by youtube about the porn. Who knows could be porn kitchen or cartoon kitchen.

or never-to-be-finished kitchen

Jarvis's figures are like a child's cartoon copy

His style might have been loved in a small crowd of people who knew him personally, you know, the way one admires the craftwork of a family member. By exposing his work to the world on a platform where it doesn’t belong, historically and ecstatically, she is ruining his reputation instead of cherishing her memories of him. Destruction and defamation of character is her main target, always.

I'd be utterly embarrassed if that were me.

She is too, but has found a way to live, love and laugh about it.

Quote: "a painting by my Father of one of my parents nursing homes"

Raidsend .. 'a hall of late Art Nouveau style, with 'elongated Dutch gables, tall narrow windows and subtle pargetting'
Now known as Aldringham Court Care Home, Leiston, Suffolk. Grade II listed.

Wow, that's very interesting. I'm totally lost in the timeline. Does anybody have a clue about when they owned which nursing home ?
I tried to find infos about a sale of Aldringham Court, wasn't succesfull

 

[FrenchGirl123]

Hold on... ! I've just stopped the vlog after the water pipes fiasco (again).

Have I understood correctly ? Have they suggested to open the official water (sealed) lid and dig under the public road before Matt saw the opportunity of the moat ?

But that would have been absolutely illegal ! Or maybe, our chatelaine knows she should ask her Mairie for such works on the public space ?

 

[Viva La Loca]

Good looking, smart, successful and confident men leading their own lives would not be attracted to La Lande or Steph. There are no males in my life that would go near that place or her, they all think she's silly with that constant high pitched neighing.

that's because she is a fag hag.

So that day was April 15th. So Andie left La Lande at April 15th, don't know what it does for the timeline/continuity.
Screenshotted Nutty's phone in case of it being edited out.
(A bit hard to see, but it does say Thur 15 April 16:12)

wearing the same blue dress and cardigan as when the panelling arrived

It alway puzzels me how she can make people do things, or try at least, she never had the courage to start with.

very true

It was discussed quite a lot in a previous thread and many of us believe he is D's son and something he said to SJ recently seemed to confirm this.

overlay Gerry over Daddy

so how many nursing homes did they own, exactly?

?? probably quite a few. Her aunt and uncle are nursing managers too.

 

[ComtesseRose]

A reason for dropping the chocolate at the Mairie? I wonder if the Mayor likes Cadbury...

SHE TOLD ME NOT TO TELL HER WHAT TO DO!!!!

Sounds like it's confirmed, that she is a lost cause.

wearing the same blue dress and cardigan as when the panelling arrived

Do we wonder if that is all the same day?

overlay Gerry over Daddy

On a entirely different note. I wonder if Gwen has vetoed what Billy is doing. No new videos from The Pethericks channel. I wouldn't think Billy would be the type to go on paternity leave...

Indeed, and all payed for by the devoted patreons...who also are utter idiots..to put money in an endless pitt..of wasting..and bad decisions..

There are two reasons for that nonsense: she's too lazy to drive to the local elementary school where there's actual children who would love a treat AND more importantly, she hates children almost as much as sharing her stuff.

What I find most disturbing, besides the grifting and begging (as if there is any beside from that) is that SJ as well as IJ keep blaming the local professional workers for not showing up and being lazy and not finishing the jobs at hand. The problem isn't the quality of the work of those professionals, it's the state of chaos SJ keeps creating around everything and the Jarvisses thoughtless ethics when it comes to maintaining and improving an old structure like their shittoo.

 

[Dippy Hippy]

I have joined this site, driven mad by Philip's constant commenting as he holds the camera. The snorting was bad enough. Can't he just keep quiet and film? We don't need your opinion. Would rather listen to the people actually doing the job. Just zip it mate please!

 

[Espe]

Wow, that's very interesting. I'm totally lost in the timeline. Does anybody have a clue about when they owned which nursing home ?

The fact that the Jarvises owned and sold more than one, large and probably valuable, property, means that she/her family is much wealthier than we imagined, and makes it even more disgusting that she has spent so little of her own money on restoring her own home but relies on other people, many of whom will be far less privileged, to send her their money for that purpose. She is probably far better off than 99% of all the other chateaux owners, most of whom are working really hard to do the work themselves. SJ has never worked, never lifted a finger, apart from making vlogs in which she performs centre stage to boost her own attention-seeking ego. She has merely spent some of her own personal fortune on her hedonistic lifestyle, not on doing up her own home. She has also wasted other people's money on poorly planned and badly done projects which then need to be re-done. There are no words strong enough to describe this despicable behaviour. It's high time those daft donors woke up to the facts in front of them!

There are two reasons for that nonsense: she's too lazy to drive to the local elementary school where there's actual children who would love a treat AND more importantly, she hates children almost as much as sharing her stuff.

And maybe also, she thinks it will earn her "brownie points" with the Mayor so he will look favourably on anything for which she needs his approval or assistance!

The goat farmer likes older women? ....I assumed (wrongly) he was married for some reason.....I seem to always be a bit naive.....sounds interesting
