The Chateau Diaries #297 No heating, no friends, no Easter, no content! Nobody wants in on your scam.

She's a tour manager with a specialist company for choirs , musical ensembles, etc and travels as part of her role. I think her previous jobs were choral director and something to do with cataloguing choral music. Wasn't there a q and a at some point? I seem to recall that her family are very ordinary but all involved with various choirs.

I sometimes actually feel sad for Marie, either she is so disillusioned that she really believes herself to be a good cook, or the others give her the impression.

I woukd never make pasta from scratch for guests, when I have never tried making them before for me as a test run. You start with store bought pasta to see and feel how the texture is supposed to be, and then you cook a meal by the recipe at least one time before you cook it for guests.

She is socially awkward, an introvert, yet like the rest of the misfit toys at the dump, wants to be Stephanie. She is easily influenced by the lovebombing and the loads of insincere comments that she receives on her YouTube channel and Instagram, as well as in the CD comment section. I don’t believe she is incredibly bright, and desperately wants to be seen as a professional, but just doesn’t have a skills or education to pull off all professional level flower arranging or cooking, especially in a long term job setting. She seems to easily inflate her actual skill set In her thoughts which makes her have unrealistic expectations concerning her talent and jobs that she would be able to successfully accomplish, such as “ yaught chef.”

I was under the impression that Marie’s mother, who seems a bit cold, had written off her daughter years ago, when she remarried, and had a second family. Having said that, it is obvious that “you can’t tell me what to do “ Marie has some long-standing personal issues to work through, many of which may stem from family issues, but has yet to do so, which would make it difficult for anyone to help her ( and many have tried).

Also, her heavyset sister may be incredibly nice, but seems scary as tit and gives off a vibe of “ you don’t want to pass me in a dark alley.”

PhiPhi gets giddy around potential senior sugar daddy tobacco Johnny, I believe that Johnny’s younger partner made sure to attend the dump Easter extravaganza in order to keep an eye on the fluffy bunny eared gay fiancé, Snorty .

Did anyone notice that Ratso was not filmed playing with Dan‘s sons? Is Ratso unpredictable or snippy with small children? They made sure not to take Ratso on the Easter egg hunt, that could’ve been due to yellow wellie clad Fanny having to carry out her scripted fake ” rescue” mission of the two boys who had been placed on rocks in the creek.

Snorty’s running by the train as Fanny fied the Dump to vacation and party was a blatantly, fake, scripted, storyline to manipulate viewers that Phillip was incredibly heartbroken that his “darling“ was leaving for a few days and he couldn’t bear the thought of her leaving on the train. They should’ve titled the episode., “ The Bickersons Take a Break.”

Pekey, I am so sorry you have been in pain. I am glad you were able to score some pain medicines, these days Doctors routinely undermedicate pain, so I hope you can get some relief from your pain before you have to go and undergo your tests. I hope they can find the source of your pain and treat it with appropriate medicines or treatment so you can put this pain behind you. Have your little doggies been nice to you? Do they understand that you don’t feel well? I hope they can be a welcome distraction from any pain or discomfort. Wishing you a good night’s sleep tonight!

Thanks Gracie......... I do hope the meds kick in . I have been to the hospital emergency twice ..... first doctor sent me home with no pain med but when I came back last night the doctor ( you never see the same one ) sent me home with some.
I only have one dog and he was not happy with Hubby and I going off in the middle of the night.
Yum Yum runs the house you know !

So Billy's vlog today two statements stood out. They removed a bathtub and moved it temporarily to the bedroom next door. Michael joked "we should just leave it here". And Billy said. " absolutely no tubs in bedrooms". Hum. Fanny has a tub in a bedroom, maybe two? Then they talked about a fireplace as decorative, and Michael says" we have lovely radiators in the room to keep it warm, we don't need to use a fireplace ". Dig dig. Fanny what do you have????

I get the impression that every Petherick vlog has a dig at Despicable fanny and the serious mess she has made and put herself in. I don't believe that she will ever recover the shithole to habitable. It is a disastrous comedy of one error after another. She can blame no-one but herself. Though she may try...

One of the best ever analysis of FRK … she is a dangerous mix of fragility, stupidity (although she can’t help that) and a misplaced soaring, inflated ego. Throw into the mix her sullen, passive-aggressive demeanour which will hinder whatever she does. And you’re spot on by saying ‘she wants to be Stephanie’ ….
She would never survive being below deck as a yacht chef. Or a chef anywhere in the Real World. Infact her presence on a boat would be a danger to all, as she is head-strong, unable to follow instructions and not fit for purpose with her dodgy ankle and depression . Can you imagine the Captain saying “Guests say dinner is 3 hours late …” and the reply is ‘Chef has a bad ankle, a low mood and needs to lay down - for a week’

Your comment about her sister was 11/10.

FRK and Dave the Dishes should leave the dump and set up home together and lead a simple, unchallenging life in a place there is no WiFi so she can’t Instagram nor have a YouTube channel.

Marie would have a better life if she just found a job where she is capable but not the one in control . A modest life but a happy life..... sadly she wants to be like Fanny - rich and popular . Rose coloured glasses there.
Still... I don't see her going to therapy .
Marie does try but I wish her Mother would have been kinder and more involved even if she was hard to deal with --- she is Her daughter and you help them as best as you can !
Not look the other way!

Never in a million years is there any similarities between Amanda and Lincoln to the other 2 numpties... The sponsor ship for the facial beauty spa was fun and I actually paid attention to the hype, Lincoln rocked the look and did it all with good humour... unlike the princess who looks like she's been sanded and greased and none of her words of recommendation register...Amanda and Lincoln rock, they work hard and inject humour into their vlogs Jarvis & Janssen ARE the jokes in their vlogs.

Yes Jeeves this one

I don’t think so. She commented that they could all go next year. So it is a destination they would all go to - something she has bought, inherited or some place like Oily’s stencilled mansion or the Aunt and Uncle’s new Reno project.

Just the fact she has left again is ridiculous. Who lives in a derelict house and goes on vacation that many times in 3 months???????

Escaping reality again.
I hate that clock. What time did she leave and which day,
That vlog was full of so many oddities.

The mystery chap at the Easter fiasco was outed by FRK as "Jamie". I'm not sure if this is the newish handyman who ticked the box for no publicity or maybe Analise's new man.
John's partner is called Kamel (not sure of spelling) -and I think this is him in the background

You beat me to it.
Is that not the ugliest bit of ugly you've ever seen?
As I watched, I thought, you have got to be joking.
I don't know which is sadder, their sink or their pride in creating such a piece of junk.

 

[Lochness Monster]

There is no way that they will ever hand wash, iron, or reuse any of the dozens of heavily embroidered napkins they have made for dinner tables. I anticipate they will be tossed in the trash.

Why is Natty not sorting this laundry?
What day were these two sorting the laundry room? Natty is ordering and choosing towels so why is Cinders helping Pee pee do this. ?
I guess Natty cannot work remotely.

The famous tablescaper chooses his favourite tablecloths and they are all the fabric that was sent and looks as if much of it not even hemmed.

How many days was Annalise there?
Fanny’s hair on the same day????
where was Fanny last seen in that pink boucle jacket? Travels with my friend, was it Italy?

 

[Freesia54]

I am not au fait with those Syphon's FRK used for her dessert ....... but ...... isn't it supposed to whip up the cream and make a star shape???????

Like the squirty cream cannisters? I thought so too or at least a foamy consistency... Maries just looked like gloop.

I agree, Fanny is using her and setting her up to fail yet again.
That syphon nonsense and all it can do for them is a grey bowl of something.
Did you see that Snorts has his scarf over the chair in his china pantry?
Snorts wants to be in charge and can see the kitchen form that chair.

IDK who that bloke is . It is not Johns partner Karmel?
he came to the dump once and the next time John came Fanny said he was ill. And it is not Jamie the handyman. Jamie the handyman was on the Easter egg hunt,
Is it Annalise flame?

 

[Gertrude Maud]

IDK who that bloke is . It is not Johns partner Karmel?

Kamel was shorter, older, not fair skinned and had a good head of hair.

 

[Kickintheass]

SJ travelling on her own. She hasn't done that in years, missing flights etc when she did.

Waste of time trying to curl her hair. Nearly all dropped out by chapel visit.
