Thank you for all of your birthday wishes. I'm fortunate to be enjoying a bright, sunny day, but my thoughts & prayers are for the well-being of all those around the world who are currently experiencing unspeakably, terrible times.

Now back to regularly scheduled timey-wimey programming with our resident lying, histrionic, grifting chatelaine.

Again, there is no way all this happened in one day according to Fanny's timeline. The workers have already started digging around the chapel before Fanny suddenly remembers they're working and pops out in her housecoat. Heck, you know it's mid-day if Snorty's already got his ass out of bed and is standing in the garden pretending he knows what's going on.

Back in the kitchen they're saying goodbye to Hanni who has escaped her straight-jacket and is waving frantically as Percy drives her away for a bit of R&R at an inhouse medical asylum program some unspecified reason.

What's the chance that Hanni nibbled on Mummy's gigantic magic mushroom & is pretending to fly?

Is Amuary feverish because he's overworked, drank too Kronenbourg 1664, out of cigarettes, or inhaled a new mix of Mummy's gigantic magic mushroom & MJ? That's Amuary offsite for the next couple of weeks.

Fanny, having eaten far too many meals while traveling this summer & croissants at home, is having her dress enlarged by Nikki. But why is Fanny now suddenly wearing yellow pj's? Fanny wasn't wearing yellow pj's out at the chapel earlier.

Garlic, chili, lemon shots at 10:00 a.m. should make everyone feel better. It's now 11:40 a.m. and Fanny & FRK are ready for a girl's half day out at the spa. Poor Cinder-Nikii is left at home to repair Fanny's dress, while Snorty is tasked with making lasagna pasta mush for dinner. If it's FRK's day off where is Dishwasher Dave? Isn't Dave supposed to cook on FRK's day off?

Fanny, the idiot world traveler, didn't realize that hotel spa rules required she book a hotel room for the day or that there's no restaurant service available. There is a 2-hour spa offer at Les Drayades Golf & Spa for between 109.00€ - 189€. Perhaps they booked the Mother-Daughter package for 230€.

Fanny & FRK jammed a lot into two hours at the spa including frolicking in the pools, sauna, lunch delivery from Snorty, a tea break and trolling time on the laptop.

Fanny could have booked a room for a sleep-over with Snorty, but we all know that was never an option! Instead Fanny & FRK had time to pick up parcels from Vinted and arrive back at the shitoo in time to: open parcels, try on clothes, chat more with Mummy about her magic mushroom and watch Snorty start to make pasta mush for dinner.

Let's not forget Fanny also had time to whip out that Thermomix and make sticky toffee/date pudding for dessert. That's a tit load of pasta mush for six people. (Mummy, Percy, Fanny, Snorty, FRK & Nikki)

Manor & Maker - how much money are they making?

It can't be that much, although other tattlers who are more astute in YT viewership/income could better assess their YT earnings. When they first launched a couple of years ago their viewership briefly exceeded 100K (the Fanny effect), but quickly dropped to an average of approx. 25-30K. Their vlogs are dull, dull, dull and recent viewership shows only: 8.5K, 10.0K, 11.0K, 8.3K, 11.0K, 16K, 16K, 14K, 14K, 14K, and 4.5K.

The Shrek's only run a handful of very poorly attended retreats during the year, and because they don't have a large property they can't host many attendees. They also don't offer any B&B rooms. Shrek won't make much from his little wood-making machine and even less from his graphic designs. How long can they last?
 
Following the recent conversation about the slight (🤣) misconception that Phoney’s Chapel is utterly unique & so deserving of special attention that only the very best restorers hot footing it from Notre Dame would do ……Well sorry to have to inform you fleeced patrons & gullible gold star buyers but apparently there are 41,999 others in need of attention …

Belated birthday tidings to the Tatler crew celebrating. Will you be buying soup plates , crab sticks or having a spa day with the maid?
Do we think the guys digging around the chapel are from the same company as the chapel restorers or has Fanny cheapskate employed another company. I think the latter.

Lord A. and I are both Libra's with October birthdays + our wedding anniversary is in early October + Canadian Thanksgiving. Lots of celebrating this month and we've learned over many years to pace ourselves.
We're opposites who balance each other out. ⚖ 🎁 🥂🦃 :m🥳 💕

I have been selling on Vinted for a week and have sold 14 items - sorting through my wardrobe for more to sell and more vintage items from the attic. Today I got up at 4am and went to the toilet. It resulted in a burnt orange color, which I immediately showed my doctor via live video. I had a light English breakfast with hash browns, blood puffing, baked beans, sausages and a side of Sauerkraut. When I dressed myself in clothes, I took the 45 bus to my local Target. The staff always greet me with a handshake, but I usually avoid the handshake with people darker skinned than I am. I bought groceries, 2 six packs and some tampons, for the good old times. When I found the exit of the store, I had to call my husband Paul to pick my up. By the way, Paul says hi! Paul is currently working so much in the office, that he prefers to sleep at his secretary’s apartment. Her name is Bambi Muffin. She only lives 7 minutes away from the office, while our house is about 9 minutes away. Paul feels so much better now, he even uses perfume now and shaves down there. After a lengthy sleep on the couch in the living room, next to the kitchen, opposite the bathroom, above the cellar, under the master bedroom on the first floor, I cooked dinner.

duck me they are away again. FRK is babysitting Ratso 2.

Stephanie only got the dog six weeks ago or so and she has left it at the dump at least three times for overnight travel in mini trips away from the dump. She pulled the same tit with Ratso 1.0. Money maker 2.0 is going to be a confused, neurotic mess like Ratso. Stephanie didn’t give a tit about animals, only exploiting them for cash. FRK is ditzy, unreliable, and neglectful in regards to caring for dogs, but I don’t believe she would intentionally harm or bully moneymaker 2.0, as loser Phillip would do.

So. Hanni is finally leaving. Returning to the sceptred Isle... with THAT hair! How brave is that? Or dumb!

I see the thrifted Japanese dress is in EVERY current flog! Look at me look at me fanny. See how thrifty I am. I simply had to by this cheap 2nd hand dress in Japan when I sent my luggage elsewhere and decided to stay an extra night or two to shag huge grunt. Oups! Did I say that out loud? And my trusty patrons and fans, did you see me buying MORE thrifty clothes from Emmaüs to keep warm in the winter because I'm simply NOT going to waste money on heating. If we save money here and there we can SPLURGE on the fun things... Like luxury holidays and travel, designer clothes, jewelry and all that kind of fun stuff.

Excellent recap @Lady Avonlea and on your birthday too, very diligent. Does this picture, I took the liberty of blowing it up, look like Thrush really needed a pee? Perhaps Galahad is getting his own back and enforcing a lack of comfort breaks 😆

I also would like to agree that it is not humanly possible for Fanny to do that much in one day!

And please forgive my rudeness. A big shout out to @ComtesseRose for keeping us rolling along. Bravo, brava to @Toys in the attic and @JackSpratt for name and nom.

Snorty, Patsy & Shrek should all cut and wash their hair. Now that would almost make an interesting vlog.

Hello everyone!
I just want to let you all know that I’m having difficulties posting tonight’s Patreon video for you. I’ve tried on three different browsers, but it keeps failing. As it’s 4am, I’ll go to sleep now and try again in the morning. It’s a video of a day at Lalande, and Michael Potts arrives :)
Hopefully I’ll be able to work out the problem in the morning, and either way I’ll update you then. If I still have problems with the Patreon site, I’ll upload this video for you via YouTube.
Goodnight and a bientot!
Love, Stephanie​

The old “ I cannot post the video” excuse. Pottie looks like a little old lady. Moneymaker 2.0 has the expression, “ what fresh hell is this……who is holding me now?”

He does look like a old lady Gracie!:ROFLMAO:

I am sort of glad they have not posted anything as I am over at my daughters place looking after my grandkids.
My grand daughter is doing well after her pilonidal cyst surgery but she is a back sleeper so that is not great but still .... everything is going as it should and the surgeon is happy.
Back to school next week and she can return but not do sports etc.

Happy Birthday to the October Crowd !!! 🎂

OMG..... nearly forgotten.......... Big Kiss to ComtesseRose for the new thread.
 
Although I'm in the "I don't care" camp, I just have to put in my idea. She's going to Ireland (she doesn't speak Gaelic, Irish Wolfhound) and is studying at the Ballymaloe cookery school's 12 week course. A lot of 'influencers' are there at the moment. The lovely Lily (former Below Deck stew, now cook on a catamaran in the Caribbean) is at the course.

I posted before about a day in the life of Lily, after Marie's lacklustre Insta post about wanting to do that. Gurl, you won't have made it past breakfast!

In a census taken in 1987 the Ministry of Culture counted 32,000 churches and about 6,000 chapels in France; there are eighty-seven cathedrals, all classified monuments.Around 15,000 of those are classed as historical monuments and qualify for government aid.

6,000 chapels…..… Fanny is not special. The chapel at the Dump was not historically significant and is not listed and does not qualify for government aid.

Here s a unique chapel in France.
Did you know that Henri Matisse designed a chapel in France? Here are a couple of articles and a short youtube video on the chapel. It was one of his last works prior to his death.The short video shows the chapel interior And gives a short history of why he decided to design the chapel.

She's added another post to her stories - someone guessed Labrador, which is incorrect. She gave this as a hint: think Phoenicians, think Moors, think knights.

I'm thinking Portugal? Maybe Greece? Possibly Spain? My guess is Malta - which would definitely maybe tie in with the dog clue. Wherever it is, she went through a Southern Italy airport to get to it....I think Sicily? Not necessarily a clue, as you can go through any airport, anywhere to get anywhere these days, especially if you are trying to save money on flights.
