Thanks for the new thread
@OliviaPope. I'd started typing a new one but dozed off!
TLDR
The long-awaited house tour - just as underwhelming as anticipated. No real surprises.
Of course (according to Saz) the camera made everything look smaller than IRL and they didn't dare show Isabelle's broom cupboard but we were treated to a mood-setting candle lighting ceremony and background music - a cheesy piano jazz track called "My Warm Bed". (Whoever wrote that was probably not thinking about a single, fold-down bed for brokies, like Creepy's, but "My Warm
Chair-bed" doesn't have quite the same ring to it!
)
The ceilings are apparently really high, compensating for the lack of floor space.
They're trying not to show off the beautiful cottage-cheese-esque ceiling tiles in the office/staffroom kitchen.
Isabelle apparently went out for the evening with friends (driving range, possibly Topgolf?) and "sneaked" back in at 3am. The 19 year old woman got her stepfather to wait up for her and open the door, to let her in, because she doesn't have her own key. Hardly sneaky behaviour!
Esme has been reading erotic fiction (with parents' permission) and enjoys ruffling the feathers of disapproving folk, giving them something to talk about. She also supposedly met up with friends at a mall but they weren't seen/heard.
So much shopping but all the malls look the same.
They've mentioned other mall-based activities like a ski slope and rollercoaster but who needs that when there's roughly 5000 branches of Mumuso (and other identical shops) to explore?
Isla enjoyed a 'special' shopping day with her Mum. Sarah has an emotional "moment", seeing her sweet and innocent daughter looking so beautiful. Some Tattlers saw Sarah's reaction as a guilty conscience (for generally treating Isla badly and neglecting her), trying to buy her daughter's affection by showering her with gifts.
Chris is now known as "Chrish", courtesy of a legendary Starbucks employee who presumably misheard Creepy (and to be fair, probably doesn't speak English as their first language, which might cause some confusion.) Speculation about a possible denture malfunction being to blame.
Chrish continues to pretend that he's a business and marketing guru. In recent posts he's apparently alluded to some 'creative' accounting practices, claiming that his UK ltd company has been unused for some time, despite it being listed as active on Companies House. Something doesn't seem to add up so hopefully the UK tax man is paying attention!
Mr £10k joined his wife on a tour of Aldi/Lidl-alikes, sampling the budget supermarkets of Doobuy, just for fun. Fortnum & Masons must've been closed that day.
