Dump account, planted comment

I absolutely adore the range of human (and animal: Aloysius, Thor, Ruby and Lancelot included) personalities that live at the chateau and the fact that everyone is accepted as they are...THIS is reality viewing at its best.

We just needed a little chapel drama for the day… no biggie


jackass Philip setting up the blame for the contractors and Amaury for the heating, is Philip upset because no one listens to him at the dump? Still mad that the architect shushed him?

One thing I would say following this and the heating installation where a red cabinet was placed where you weren't expecting it. You probably need to take more of a hand in directing the work, rather than just letting it happen and not being satisfied with the outcome. Before any work is carried out it should be clearly explained what is going to be done. It’s difficult if it's a piece of work you haven’t experienced before, but your contractor should be giving you clear information on what they're doing. And ideally some representative from the chateau should monitor the work in order to stop anything unacceptable happening. Just leaving workmen to do whatever they think can be a recipe for disaster.

why do dog people like their dog to do what they order them to do? I like cats precisely because they would never do what they are ordered to do. Maybe it tells us a thing or two about people?

she must have been away quite a while to have missed it. You would have thought being close to the ground would have better and if she truly does have an architect and this slipped through the net he needs sacking. No one just goes drilling through the middle of the walls after it has been lovingly and expensively painted. It shows that Fanny and Snorts are not involved or overseeing this highly expensive project at all, I don';t believe she has a retained architect she is winging it as usual.

They can probably easily get in through any gaps around the door

And she had to find a way to shift the blame for her fuck ups to someone else as usual.

Fanny: if you want people to believe that Caroline is real and an English speaking American, she would not make a mistake such as "I think I have seen she eating earlier". If you need to disguise the fact that it's you responding and want to fake an error, at least use your Oxford-educated brain, and pick something more believable. Some of your fans are likely to be a bit brighter than you are. By the way, why have you never shown a photo of your graduation? We have seen photos of you in childhood; your wedding, and you in your examination gown, but never one of you in your graduation gown. It seems a bit odd as you like showing off yourself and your "achievements"!

Toys in the attic

The workman just drilled the holes at a convenient height for standing and holding the drill. Serves her right for not staying home more and taking a responsible approach to ownership. Same goes for the other two owners.

Everybody literally those two words. She must use them 100 times a vlog. I just cant watch Juile anymore.

Oh Chandeliers had me literally crying with laughter, unfortunately I'm in a crowded bistro sat at a little table on my own. (not unfortunate I'm on my own unfortunate that everyone's stopped eating and turned to look at moi.)

It’s not a very good idea to throw the chapel restorers under the bus in a video that supposedly will be viewed a couple hundred thousand times. She’s already thrown Fee under the bus, is an under the bus, and thrown Amaury under the bus. The chapel restores and painters can refuse to be filmed from now on or interviewed while working or they would just increase their estimates for installing the shitty fountain and replacing beams in the not so grand salon ( which we all know, doesn’t even scratch the surface of what needs to be done in that area, and will be the source of the upcoming Christmas season begging campaign before she jets off for three months of luxury vacations in January, February, and March.)

My Mother was a farmers daughter and would tell me the horse knew every stop off by heart. She told me of the huge metal milk urns, one of the few happy memories she had I think.

The fact is if she was over her project or had a project manager it wouldn't have happened. I have to say I am stunned they have drilled so high up, but that job didn't take a couple of hours the walls are really thick and they have gone right the way round the whole chapel. No one was there or no one cared too go and look.

If she hadn't alienated Amaury, I'm sure he'd have been on top of things like this with just a word to the workmen. No use relying on Snorts to have a clue about anything.

No. The perks are basics that most hosts would provide without making a song and dance and no extra charge. Wtf is free self parking? Maybe ol' Despicable fanny has missed a trick and not only could have charged for parking, she could have got cuz a nifty outfit and provided valet parking service Only the birdshit comes free. Bathrooms with showers! Is it a bathroom with a freestanding bath and shower? Or is it a shower room? This is not clear. And wtf, again, is limited housekeeping? And the sycophantic fans just keep going! Baffled.

I wonder what they will live on if they both leave their patron paid employment. Will Papa and and Maman pay them? I don't think they'll make a living from social media somehow. If Amaury wasn't family, Fanny would pass a lot of blame on to him as she did with Ian but she and Snorts, using their various aliases, will, no doubt, post some more scathing comments about them.

The chapel restorers had better watch out as, in the future, it's highly likely that they will get blamed for anything that eventually goes wrong with the chapel, terrace, or the grand salon, even though it will be down to Fanny's stupidity. Likewise, if the new heating breaks down, it will be Nathan's or Amaury's fault.

If that Tit is meaning the red box on the outside wall for the heating/gas that is the main on/off from the gas tank to the boiler, if so then he can shut the fuck up as usual he's talking out of his arse. All these things have to be placed at certain distances and as he is fully registered, Nathan would have known exactly where it was to be put.

God he needs a smack in the face with a cricket bat.
