My husband was saying at dinner tonight, "can you imagine if we had had social media when we were in our twenties, how rich we could have gotten?" I laughed, but thought about it and don't think it would have worked out in my case. I was a lot like SquirrelNutkins in my 20s: aspiring actor, decorator, I even wore brocade pants (it was the New Romantics Era, don't judge). I even hooked up with some wealthy older men. But I was too "wild", untameable. I didn't like being beholden to someone else always paying the bills. It just didn't feel right. If I had played my cards right, I might be rich, today. But I made out OK on my own. Kind of hope SquirrelNutkins wises up, but I think the Grift runs deep in that one.
I was similar as a single female at that age. Was tamed by a man who is exactly the same age as me ( literally 4 weeks difference).

Oh and don't forget apart from hedgehogs, there will be a Princess Pocket mouse chapel scene with a bride and groom. Not sure what the diorama scene would be for a 46 yo employer having sex with a 25 yo employee.

On the contrary! Now that it's out in the open the end will be so much sooner, trust me. Her patrons may fall for her bull as they tend to do, no questions asked but having lied about it to her most loyal fans in public, and by doing so forcing them to deny all gossip about the two, will cost them dearly. And the kind of relationship they are having would only work if it's kept out of the vlogs, which will not work because this is not something that viewers will forget about. Each and every person I have talked to, and some of them are really closely knitted into the fabric that holds her entourage, is saying it will not last. They might not say it to the happy couple, they certainly voice their opinion when they are not around. I laughed out loud when SJ told us how supportive her mother has been. The fact that she needed to emphasize that is a tell tale on its own. IJ profoundly dislikes Snorty and has been rather vocal about it. Her dislike is not about the age difference, which bothers her too obviously, but she's very suspicious of Snorty's motives and thinks he's after SJ's money. She has found a fervent companion in Nic Larkin, who literally despises what he privately calls 'Steph's baby', a clear reference to Tess Hoffman and the doll she has been carrying around for ages.
this is so good to hear! This day can't come soon enough

Congratulations @Rory on your VIP status, you wanted a Kaboom, and you certainly had fabulous material to work with. I cant believe how much has transpired in 24 hours. Collapsed ceilings, Dutch boyfriend outed, @HalcyonOrganic a new VIP congratulations, and @Jikki2 back hooray. 🥂🍾

Not sure about France, but it isn't an issue in the UK if its consensual and both partners are of age. My friend married her boss, (when they started dating she was 18 he was 40) , my aunt dated her boss for 20 years. The problem comes with the dynamics in the team at work.
exactly, this is my main issue with this liason: is he a co-boss then? or is he an employee? do the others have to respect his orders? what is his contribution? We have never really seen him working, he has the most dubious taste and no specific education or experience, and he has not invested in the project (unlike the other chateauloonies). So the best option for him would be to be the kept gigolo in the background, and let the running of the business to other more capable (ahem) people (or is this all just wishful thinking?)

Also, why a two-tier system, why are only her patrons allowed the truth but her main account be in the dark, they don’t pay so they are second class citizens and don’t deserve an explanation?
I also have a problem with this. Even though Channel 4 outed the relationship to the whole world. It seems like only Patreon members get the inside scoop. As if she is monetising her relationship with Phyllis...

Spode dildo

I think my paper anniversary got too much attention last night, Stephanie got jealous and threw the boyfriend card and the nice Lady had to become a VIP. Well, that is fine, it was never my intention to be the centre of attention anyway. ;) :coffee:
So can I say to all the doubters, I told you so! I know Clara did, but I also clearly spotted the coupledom quite early on. I mean, it was in our faces! The hospital run, a worried Phillip. Just a new volunteer...nooo. The question of love life, Phillip joking with a glint in his eye " I am SO deprived!" and Cat saying "Behave!!" and laughed like he had said something not fitting. The going on a honeymoon to Barbados. Just a male volunteer...noooo. His genuine compliments of all her outfits and looks, the looks he gives her, her going out of her way to compliment his new clothes and outfits and him looking at her like a cheeky challenge when he has picked something ludecrous to wear. The WE. Him moving his grandads mahogany furniture over. The never mention of his role, lenght of stay, plans. The red pillow. Her having glasses of drink on both bed side tables. Him being glued to her side, going to dinners with her personal friends as her pluss one. The familiar and knowing way he adresses her. Etc. So was I surprises? Nope. I think it will be much easier for them to film now, will be better to have the cat out of the bag. And can I say also, I like Phillip! Most of you don't, but I do. He is a nice guy and I don't think he is a "gold digger" at all. I think he has become humble and caring from both being bullied and growing up with grandparents, and his caring nature suits Stephanie, who we know need a lot of attention. He is genuinely interested in furniture, clothes, fabric, drama, china, etc, yes all that I would leave to my wife, but there are hetero men who like these things too. A minority yes, but they do live among us. I wish the happy couple all the luck of the Irish, and I know a big wedding would be a box hit. Right, this is long enough.

A bit tired and aching this evening but generally good, thanks. Just very grateful to have benefitted from the vaccines - I am sure that things would have been much worse without them. Hubby hasn't had any symptoms at all and mine have been very minor. My 90 yr old mum had her booster dose today. 6 days of isolation left.
So happy to hear you are on the mend. You have too many things planned for your "retirement", to stay down for long 😘

A lady in our neighbourhood got pregnant - she wss 50 at full term (she had 7 others beforehand in her 20s & 30s). I think a first pregnancy late in life is unusual.

He's a bit like Prince Phillip (RIP) a Consort. He will never be king, but a Squirrel Consort to the Princess. In spite of this, he will take his place at the Chateau, and even perhaps upstage the bride with his outfits. But she likes that, they are both terribly dramatic.

I do agree, he's not the best at practicalities.
I worked in a situation where my boss was seeing one of my coworkers and it went to her head. She started trying to boss us all about. It caused a lot of tension.

She's freaking out alright. If you thought you've seen her manic, I tell you: yesterday's event sparked a whole new universe of hysterical outbursts. Truly unprecedented.
Not only SJ freaking out but I tend to think her Mother is too.
Mummy would want little SJ to have a man with $$$ and what she got was a grifter like herself !
I think that is called "Karma" ???
