These are a few of what I came up with.

Apologies if I've disappointed with my not so creative thread title options. Bright side, this will probably be my only time to name a thread:D as there are heaps of incredibly talented people here, probably giving me a side eye.

@ComtesseRose Thanks for all that you do & allowing me to butcher the CD thread title. 😂 Need help deciding which one to use.

1. Stephanie has an inverted crucifix because she is the devil

2. Stephanie has an inverted crucifix because she worships the God of
grift and Lies

3.Stephanie & her Chateau filled with lies, inedible pies, & a porcelain hoarding gayance who spies.

4. Marie identifies as a Chef.
Fanny identifies as a Princess.
PhiPhi identifies as a Queen.

I wrote the two recipes down that I've used on a large post-it note and attached it to one of the gardening books I refer to regularly! Thank goodness I did that all those years ago, because when I looked online for the black spot recipe, I saw the one for mildew spray had changed!

I also put a note in my phone to check back with you to see if it worked!

Vivienne's relationship with Stephanie is similar to the Puffs. She brings goods and chattels, they either brought food or prepared it . . . no evidence of 'friendship'.

I was raised to never visit someone’s home with empty hands... just like the Drew Barrymore character in the film Music and Lyrics, anyone seen it? I like to bring something when invited to be grateful. But Permasmile goes over the top, then she goes over the top again and again, like begging to be close friends to Staphanie… the decaying popular girl.

I believe both Permasmile and the Puffs are nice people on their own, they are polite and like to offer gifts and food to their friends when they go for a visit. But Phony is a blood sucking taker who cares for no one.

Hope Permaslimey wakes up soon and realizes her connection to Staphanie is damaging her own image?

Philip should cut his hair like Michael Hutchence in 1991. Even Kenny G’s hair looks better than Philip. View attachment 3031143 qView attachment 3031144 q

The latest vlog was ‘on repeat’ boring. Even Lancelot thinks so 😴

In the scene where Vivienne gives Stephanie the locket, I almost lost my diet Dr. Pepper. Stephanie and Philip kissed! It was the most awkward thing to watch....but I wonder why it was so heavily edited? The three of them are talking over each other, and I can't understand what he's saying, but one second Stephanie's asking Viv if the gift was "a hint" to Philip about her mentos ring and the next is this...........

No scene there isn't choreographed or scripted to the nth degree, is it?

OT: The passport thang. If you are a US citizen, you can only have two (one US and one of another country) unless you have extenuating circumstances (such as a diplomat (black) or military member (brown).) So if I wanted to get an Italian passport, I'd have to give up my US or Canada one. (I already have an Italian "Codici Fiscale", which is like a social security number in Italy, so it makes it easier if I ever decide to move back there- I can set up utilities, a bank account, work, etc.) The laws all depend on your country of primary citizenship as to how many you can have. Some countries like Japan and India do NOT allow dual citizenships (although, I do have a friend who was granted an exception in Japan due to her father's political influence- it was a one-off, and not the norm.) Also, be advised- if you renounce your primary country's citizenship, you may lose your retirement pension (or be met with a hefty tax on it in the new country as it is considered income.) If you are going to an EU country, you really only need one. Always meet with your accountant and a tax law specialist first prior to making any decision.

Like in Percy's case- I suspect, despite being married to Mummy 🦇 (TM courtesy of @Pekey), he just has a South Africa one (hence why he went ahead of the clown car train to Passport Control at the airport.)

Does Uncle Sam still clip the ticket on overseas earnings? Years ago a colleague renounced her US citizenship as she never intended on living in the US again and was having to pay tax on her earnings living overseas.

For plane timetable enthusiasts, here’s the Ryanair weekly summer schedule for Stansted/Limoges and vice versa.

It probably only adds another layer of muddledom to Stephanie chaotic timeframe? There again, one knows for certain they’re not flying either way on Thursdays!

The most likely scenario appears to be that they flew out of Limoges on Wednesday, 26th June on the 16.55 flight, arriving in London in time for fish and chips!

Past flights in case anyone is studying the fall of their shadows to work out exactly the time of day they flew.

She shows them eating lunch before leaving for London. The date on the pate and tapenade from Intermarche shows 26th and 27th June. (Too many unopened packets and tubs of Rillette for these to be leftovers.). Hampton Court Flower Show runs from 2 -7 July. They are meeting Isabelle and Percy on Friday, 5th July. This means that they are in London for a minimum of 9 days.

It looks like Pavlina sitting at the table on the terrace but who are the two young men in the background? They seem to go in and out of the kitchen door so probably not guests.

I don’t understand the obsession with these tables and dishes when you have no heating. It boggles my mind. Plumbing, electrical, and climate control are essential. Without them your beautiful treasures will not last. Every museum you tour has protections for the art, linens, tapestry, rugs, etc. you are not a good steward for these items if you don’t take care of the building. You have proof of this in the chapel restoration going on. The lack of care is what caused the building to fail. Never put the horse before the cart.

As soon as the B&B season is over, Stephanie has the heating system and Grand Salon on the top of the list. Workers take off August, so November will be a big construction month. Then, the terrace that they have worked on before is on the list, followed by the lake. They never thought the chapel would go first and be finished in the same year

Forgive me for asking oh great oracle Gooder but isn't there 2 months between August and November! I could be wrong and will bow to your greater knowledge but...

So they went to London on Sunday and the Sebastian stuff was filmed a different week day.

Ombeline gardens on a Sunday or that clip was from a different day, too?

Sunday to Friday will give the gayancé extra time to search for more high waisted pants. Maybe he is also working in his hair transplant consultation - fake engagement gift from his betrothed?

This will also give the gayancé time for a couple of nights out for kebabs at The Sweatbox.
