I think he even hit on the fact that the Strawbridges "did the work themselves" and that was going to hurt them or anyone who bought the place, based on the French laws about warranty of work with home repairs/renos. If I recall correctly, he talked about another chateau whose owner bought high, then ran into all sorts of half assed done repairs and decided to sell, and had to sell for a lot less than they purchased it for - they were happy to just unload the thing and be done with it.

The guy sounds a little putzy when he speaks, but the handful of videos I've watched from him seem to be on point and full of a lot of hard truths. He's the kind of agent I'd want if I were buying a house, to be honest!


and sadly that's what a lot of these Chateaus are half arsed attempts because to do it the right way costs $$$$$$

Yes the Strawbridges did a lot themselves but also bought workers over from the UK. It just doesn't pay when you want to sell.
 
Agreed. When they did the tour of their living quarters at the top of the chateau it is totally different to the rest of the chateau. They also said that they had clashed over interiors when they realised he had a pared back aesthetic and she preferred a cottage vibe.

Increasingly, I think Anna could be rather intense. You can hear it in her voice which can be a bit abrasive at times.

I think Anna is nervously intense because the ‘boss’ is a total dick, and she has to edit what she says to him, as he, i suspect, goes off when challenged. The condescending sarcasm and not so subtle putdowns would get real old, real quick for me. Can’t watch him anymore. Too much of an @sshole.

I sure as hell wouldn’t go on a long boat trip with him. Too confined and couldn’t get away from that smart@ss‘ mouth.

Man overboard. 😎
 
Excellent direction to take. I normally do as well. Sometimes it’s more than my famously calm demeanor can take and, well, you’ve seen the results. I think I need @HalcyonOrganic to rub my shoulders. 😉
My response is to inhale a long deep breath and exhale slowly whilst saying OH FFS!

Hmm... I smell a wedding coming up very very soon:

Apparently, Fanny is NOT Herr Nuti's Best Friend! :ROFLMAO:
Even Mollie comes before the Princess... just a side note Amary posted on IG this week a pic of Lielande with a red sky back drop (sorry don't have a pic, it must have been on his story) and the Orange fencing was still there.

What??????? I had no idea there was going to be 10. I’m so excited. I started reading those in the 90s and then the series came out very exciting although you know how it is when you read a book and then you watch the series you’re always looking for your favorite part in the book and it never comes and then you always trash that series. lol

I’m late to Book Tattle but, in addition to the various crime writers already mentioned, a shout out for the Peter Robinson DCI Banks series. There are 28 of them! The first one was published in 1987. Set in Yorkshire. I’ve read all of them. Absolutely fine to read as stand alone or in any order, but there are some running storylines that pop up periodically, so it makes more sense/less “spoilery” to read them in order.

Colin Dexter’s Morse books are a favourite. Elizabeth George’s Inspector Lynley books, too, although sometimes her writing style really irritates me.

When they were in the brocant in Sweden it really pissed me off theat Anna wasn't allowed to keep the things that she had chosen but had to run them all past Philip for his approval and he only let her have a couple of them!.... Cue me shouting at the TV!! 😡

Better than down the well- less traceable! :cool: Just sayin'.🥰
 
I could be the leader in how not to cook. I do try my best but my cooking is dreadful. It even has its own name for any dish I cook without a recipe.
I remember making a cake for my sons 5th birthday. Admittedly it was difficult to make as he has an egg allergy but I tried my best. He wanted a dinosaur cake. I had a friend who was a chef, she was laughing so much I’m amazed she didn’t wet herself.
Anyway this is my contribution to how not to cook.
That looks pretty good to me.

I believe there is continent for another Ratso 1.0 video and footage of their sketchy cash transaction of the newest teeny tiny dog in a publuc airport.

The Ratso 1.0.continuation video could include footage or screenshots of when Philip aggressively clamped his hand over the dogs, mouth and nose at the Shrek wedding photo session, screenshots of the dog halfway out the upstairs window above the courtyard, a screenshot of the Kancelot medical attention petition with over 200 signatures, additional screenshots of his crusted eyes, video footage of loser, snorts, forcing the dog to dance on its lap during the visit to the Fleuries, video at sort of when he picked the dog up and tossed it on the floor while at the Permasmile Shrek engagement party, some screenshots of it it’s extremely long nails which were only cut 24 hours before his death, screenshot, aware Philip was aggressively, rubbing the dogs neck after it had allegedly been to a vet for choking problems, a few more over the head dancing videos, and insert the video when Philip is aggressively playing the piano, and the dog looks stressed being put on top of the piano, but it to where Stephanie gleefully stated that she would allow the dog to chase the sheep once a day, the intentionally board footage of the dog in the Porsche after the alleged incident in the south of France, the dog being taken to view the poisonous bluebells Ann Marie, pressing the dog to sniff other poisonous flowers, screenshots of shoving the dog into the Louis Vuitton carrier, taking the dog look at the roosters, Stephanie, with the dog in her arms, on top of the scaffolding in the chapel, video footage of her, climbing the ladder at the crispy Château, with the dog precariously thrown over her shoulder, there is screenshots of the dog, shivering with no sweater on or boots on, while the rest of the dump crew is clad in heavy sweaters and coats and scarves, screenshot of the piece stained filthy kitchen, chaise lounge with the dog on it, screenshot of the dog hanging out the kitchen window, licking lead-based paint flakes ( recall, Stephanie, talking about being worried about the possibility, that the dog with Leap out the kitchen window onto a shrub and be released into the courtyard… Like that had not already occurred). There is also video footage of the dog climbing on the back of Stephanie‘s shoulders and neck while they are traveling in the car And then improperly transport in the car while sitting on her lap, unrestrained, as required by French law.

Why did she want the vanity dog to begin with? Because she wants anything to do, even tenuously, with royalty and for exploitation for content and money.

Remember when Dana was harshly restraining the dog during a gift grab video? We can put it in the screenshot that Stephanie intentionally left in the gift grab that made it look like Wendy was holding the dogs genitals? Information can be placed in the video about the date that the dog allegedly died, and when the new dog was allegedly, purchased, less than three weeks, the fact that the dogs ashes had not even been returned the dump before the new teeny tiny dog had been purchased, etc. how they use the dog for contact for over 100 videos, etc.

might be a good time to slide in one of the questionable chapel photos at end of the video when also posting screenshot of the dog repeatedly hauled up scaffolding in the chapel to watch the restoration. The photo may reach some of her hard-core fans.

  • How did Stephanie Jarvis earn the dubious honor of being one of the two shittiest dog owners in the chateauverse? Let’s count a few ways:
    1. doesn’t restrain dog properly in “ borrowed” porsche, in violation of French law
    2. Holds the dog in her lap in the car, where it can get killed by an airbag or become airborne and killed in an accident
    3. never found out why the dog had dry poop ( likely dehydrated. Water bowl often empty at the Dump)
    4. you never see them take any food or water with them to give to Ratso when they are spending hours walking through garage sales. You have also never seen them clean up poop when they had the dog away from home, as required by French law.
    5. Never trim his nails. Have they ever brushed his teeth? Clean his ears? Allergies? Has a dog receive flea or tick treatment? Probably not, they didn’t do jack tit for Ruby, the peacocks, the peahens, or the sheep either. Stephanie Jarvis does not pay for medical care for animals, even with free begged funds. Ratso is likely allergic to the gruesome twosome.
    6. Does not care for his eyes. They do not wash his eyes properly, get him appropriate vet care for his obviously damaged and painful eyes.Is he partially or almost totally blind in his left eye?
    7. has persistently put the dog in dangerous situations,e.g, holding dog above her head, rubbing the dogs genitals across her face and head, twirling around, dancing with the dog at an elevated height, where he could fall and break his legs, back, or head, allows him to jump up and down the broken terra steps, all stools that are too hot for him, etc.
    8. Opens the second floor window and encourages the dog to hang out the window to bark and growl at the peacocks. She encourages the dogs aggression towards the birds at the dump. The dog can easily fall, and be killed.
    9. Had the dog leaning and jumping out the kitchen window, which could cause him serious injury
    10. Ratso was licking and eating lead paint on the kitchen window sill. He is always licking the filthy kitchen floor, where the dump crew had previously dumped, kerosene or fuel for the heaters.
    11. Failed to get an appropriate size clasp for his leash, and the appropriate leash, causing the dog stress and pain
    12. Fails to keep the smallest dog in the world warm and dry. They routinely neglect to put a sweater on the dog when everyone else in the dump is wearing coats and multiple layers of clothing. They ignore the shivering dog.
    13. Failed to put a coat on the dog when they take him out in chilly weather, even though she herself complains of the cold, and is wearing a heavy coat herself.
    14. Fail to get booties for the dog to protect the dog‘s delicate feet from the gravel in the courtyard and cold, wet ground.
    15. Fails to go out with the dog when it is let out of the kitchen or the courtyard to use the bathroom.
    16. Consistently fails to put the dog on a leash to protect him from predators.
    17. Encourages and endorses the tiny dog chasing the sheep at least once a day.
    18. Encourages and endorses the tiny dog chasing the chickens, roosters, peahens, and peacocks.
    19. Failed to protect the roosters and peacocks from untrained Ratso.
    20. Encourages the dog growl, bark, harrass, chase, and lunge at the peacocks, chickens, peahens, and roosters.
    21. Fails to watch the dog when she takes him on, walks through the woods. The dog disappears into the woods and is out of her line of vision often.
    22. Carelessly and recklessly allows the dog to run into the streets in front of the dump.
    23. Fails provide a consistent schedule and continuity for the dog, turning him into a neurotic mess..
    24. Inconsistently gives attention to the dog, likely when the camera is on only, causing confusion with the dog.
    25. Constantly shoves the dog into the arms of strangers, which causes him anxiety and stress or wants the dog to perform on cue in front of strangers
    26. Failed to protect the growing dog‘s bones by forcing and encouraging the dog to repeatedly go up and down steps that are too tall for the dog and walking the dog too far in in her daily walk or out shopping,
    27. Crams the dog into shopping bags and into a way too small vanity logo carrier. The dog is obviously unhappy and in pain.
    28. Fails to allow the dog sufficient time to take naps during the day. The dog has it’s life run around Stephanie schedule and she doesn’t give a tit about what is good for the dog.
    29. Falied to potty train the dog and fails to appropriately clean up messes so the dog goes back to the same place and pees and poops over and over and over again.
    30. Failed to get the dog fixed and the delights when he whines, whimpers, barks, growls, and is a sex pest to other dogs. Tried to come up with an excuse to pretend that she actually has spoken to a vet about the dog’s need for neutering Only after dozens and dozens of comments in the CD forum.
    31. Amps up the dog with her shrill, manic behavior, causing the dog to become nervous, and neurotic.
    32. Fails to watch the dog and allowed the dog to chew up a plugged in electrical plug for the Foreo device she was shilling.
    33. Ignores the dog when it tries to let her know that it needs to use the bathroom, or when it is in pain, or when something is wrong, e.g., whining in the bathroom at Viv’s house after Shrek fell down.
    34. Mocking the dog instead of responding to the dog’s behavior and concerns.
    35. Fails to watch the dog in public settings.
    36. Manhandles the dog and dominates the dog whenever it pleases her and she needs content for the camera. The dog is dangerously twirled in the air and slung over Stephanie’s shoulder, so Stephanie can pretend to be cutesy and pretend that the dog loves her.
    37. Stephanie feeds treats constantly to the dog to get the dog to come to her on camera and get him to jump up towards her.
    38. she is not addressed or tried to rectify the dog‘s biting and snipping at people.
    39. puts the dog into chaotic, overstimulating situations for hours when the dogs presence is unnecessary and is a nuisance, e.g, antique shopping, restaurants, stores, etc.
    40. Failed to have the dog trained properly. The dog receives inconsistent feedback daily from multiple people who are told to care for him.
    41. For weeks, fail to get appropriate bed for the dog in the downstairs areas of the dump.
    42. Constantly and roughly rubs her giant man hands across the dog’s eyes, causing irritation and pain to the dog, roughly grabs the dog and jerks the dog around.
    43. Endorsed Phillip dragging the dog on a leash, dominating the dog., twisting the dog like a pretzel for entertainment purposes, and yelling at the dog.
    44. Makes no effort to try to ease Ratso’s car sickness, e.g., find out the exact reason for the illness, stop feeding him within a couple of hours before going on a trip, get him some anti-nausea medication, or stop taking the damn dog on a trip if he is consistently carsick.
    45. ignores the needs of the dog to eat, drink, or nap while hauling the dog around in a tiny bag for hours, and hours to antique stores, etc.
    46. never watches the dog for signs of exhaustion, overstimulation, or stress when she shoves the dog into a situation where it is playing with two giant dogs. She was always trying to shove the care of the dog off on other people and other dog owners. She doesn’t want to be bothered.
    47. Fails to keep her dog from being a sex past and aggressive to other dogs. She giggles and thinks it’s funny to make sex jokes about her unneutered randy dog and believes that her dog should automatically be accepted anywhere she desires to take the dog, regardless of whether it causes difficulties or problems or others
    48. it is clear that the dog was purchased for content, not for life. Stephanie does not care what permanent damage she has caused to the dog Because it will be out of her life as soon as it is no longer useful or cannot generate money for her. That is one reason the dog is registered under.Snorty’s name so he is legally the only person solely responsible to care for the dog and she can easily walk away.
Could someone with skills I don't have, maybe do another composite video on YT of all the other animals being abused? In particular, the gross recent sheep herding fiasco; the exploitative vlog with the dying peachick at the vet's; Snorts chasing the peacocks with a stick; the appalling spectacle of Snorts and Fanny yelling and shrieking with laughter over a chicken when he was afraid of it; Fanny ignoring Ruby's pleas for attention and when she rammed a very large item of food into his mouth, etc.

Look at the lies Stephanie Jarvis told after the death of Mmakhotso Moloi. What happened to the promise below and promises of a memorial garden? More bullshit from the 50 year old little orphan princess.View attachment 3133195 q
Dressed in back with hair scraped back, of course. The despicable woman soon got over that sad loss.

I'm actually glad she didn't "support" any more students at that place. Mmakhotso may possibly still be alive had Fanny not crossed her path. Also, Villiotti was an awful person and both he and Fanny were only involved in that project for publicity and grifting purposes. There are plenty of other people in SA that she could easily support without filming herself at orphanages or at Ardmore and without filming IJ with her buckets.

Anyway this is my contribution to how not to cook.
As people have said. Don't be hard on yourself. Baking is a science and 20-ish years ago vegan/dairy-free/egg-free/gluten-free baking wasn't a thing as it is now.
As a bake off fanatic, I'd say do a ru-demption - if you feel for it of course. 💖


It's offocial, we're a 'failing failure' don't you know :
I'd say 325 thread is quite the succes. Are we still the forum with the second most threads. I'd call that a success story, unlike PlumsToBe's channel. LOL.
 
Beachy....... I bet your son loved that cake and its not bad!!! :)(y)
You are being hard on yourself !
Oh believe me it was bad but you are very kind.
I could use these photos on how not to make a turkey and ham pie demonstration. No cooked pie photo I’m afraid as it was burnt on the outside with lukewarm filling. 🤦‍♀️

THAT is a cool cake. Don't be hard on yourself. At 5 years old I'm sure your son thought it was the billybollocks. I got some of those elaborate Viking brand cake mould tins for my boys birthday cakes when he was a young'un - a pirate ship and a knights castle. Still got them. You had to grease them really well otherwise the cake mix stuck. I would just slap on a frosting and loads of Haribo's, went down a treat. I couldn't stand around doing a Jane Asher baking cakes and the cutting them into shape.
I think for his following birthday I did a football pitch. That was slightly easier but the green icing wasn’t that appetising.
