Absolutely that’s why castle was in Gibraltar, good thinking. Fierce has done her up like a kipper! Fierce has mentioned castle a few times in her lives in a positive way but I don’t think castle has mentioned fierce.

peek into Castle family life - she’s hunched over her phone in the dark and idiot Bruv leaps out to scare her - filming her of course

WisteriaLodge · 05/03/2023 08:23

Bruv has got arrested development, jumping out to scare people is what 10 year olds do.

Sugarplum48 · 05/03/2023 10:40

Bruv is a unemployed freeloader. How sad for a man his age.

A tragic man boy, riding the coat tails of his sister, who happens to be in a business spiral towards zero.

Good luck bro bot.

These ventures and moves can not be cheap on the bank of mum and Dad, surely at some stage they have to say enough is enough.

With her failure to submit accounts on her planning business, if HMRC think the directors loan was taken with no intention of paying back, it is not just a Ltd liability. They have the power to prosecute the directors and chase the payment. What is the one main asset that castle has that happens to home their parents in its garden…

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 05/03/2023 13:25

Bro reminds me of the eldest Beckham, jumping from one thing he does badly to another, because he's bankrolled by the parents. Except Bruv is knocking on 40's door and isn't married to a billionaire heiress.

Ha even down to the ’professional photographer because I have an expensive camera’

The pair of them are ridiculous and it always amazes me that anyone affirms their antics online with Likes and sycophantic comments. They are legends in their own minds within this twilight world of financially illiterate and hopelessly naive fans. Everyone else has got their number. I do wonder how many long term real life friends either of them has or whether RL acquaintances are passing through hoping to spend a bit of time enjoying the Bank of Someone Else’s Mum and Dad. I don’t get the sense these two siblings go beyond the superficial, including friendships. They are a lesson to us all about what happens if you allow your children to believe it’s all going to drop into their lap and there is no need to have any frustration tolerance or application.

As Castle Senior has a successful business I wonder if he has been more astute and that house doesn’t belong wholly to Mr and Mrs Castle or perhaps doesn’t belong to them at all? Others here probably know far more about Castle’s property owning history (the real version, not the one she claims).

NormalForNuneaton · 05/03/2023 15:01

@YouOKHun ...I think you're spot on about Castle Snr probably owning/part owning the house that's now Air Bnb'd.

I can't see that Castle has any income other than a trickle coming in from Scamversity, bit there's a full-on drought ahead.

Back in Wales her DH had his DPD delivery job, but does he have anything in Spain?

lostinlego · 05/03/2023 15:08

I wonder how they managed to still use their visas from when they previously lived in Spain. I would have thought not living there for over 3 years would have made them invalid. I thought they would have had to deregister when they left previously.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 05/03/2023 15:16

When they were previously renting in Lanzarote, U.K. citizens could still travel freely in the EU. I doubt they would have registered as residents in Spain as that might have invited the Spanish tax authorities to take an interest.
Now, they will be subject to the rule that says they cannot spend more than 90 days in the EU in any 180 day period. They will be getting close to that limit.
It will be interesting to see if they have taken any official steps to ensure they can stay for longer, or whether Castle has, as usual, decided that such rules are beneath her...

On her recent live she said that she just had to change the address on her residency card that they had from Lanzarote so it was easy for them to move.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 05/03/2023 15:21

Ah, ok. In that case it looks like they have remained officially resident in Spain for all that time, which should mean they are liable for taxes for the whole period...

Spongebobette · 05/03/2023 15:33

I suppose she’ll be busy filling in her Spanish tex return ..

Spongebobette · 05/03/2023 15:37

I’m not clear about Brits working in Spain - can they just get jobs or did all that stop due to Brexit?

they are living a very nice life, eating out all the time, beauty treatments, gym club, private school.

bet ex BFF is watching and thinking ‘that’s where my money is going’

Norma27 · 05/03/2023 15:41

Does anybody else find castle’s ex bff posts really cringey? I think she may love herself even more than yawn and that is saying something! 🤣

Spongebobette · 05/03/2023 15:45

My goodness how did I ever manage without Castle’s ‘how to plan your week’ top tips

except that I haven’t used a paper diary and highlighters for quite some time 🤣

and if she’s having online meetings surely Outlook or Teams or Google would be better so she could have her meetings booked on there

she’s SO dated

I dislike the way she uses her kids for content

her Insta is very very samey. That bloody shot with the Starbucks in her hand EVERY DAY

Norma27 · 05/03/2023 16:13

I agree @Spongebobette she obviously thinks that Starbucks coffee is something to aspire to!
when you think she was a detective, and her husband seems pretty high up in the police, they have no idea about safeguarding their children.

Spongebobette · 05/03/2023 16:48

She’s stunningly careless about Safeguarding

Calsbrasil · 05/03/2023 17:11

Do you think Mr & Mrs Castle Snr are annoyed with their feckless children and SIL? They’d joined the police, so set up with a job for life, plus a pension; then chucked it in to become MLM scammers and now have little to no income. Perhaps they had to leave?
Myself and DH had similar jobs, and now early 50s are retired in Spain not having to worry about scamming people for cash as our J.O.B.s included a pension which we can live fairly comfortably on. Not sure how long the Castles lived in Spain previously, but you can’t go back to UK and keep residency rights until you’ve been resident for over 5 years and are classed as ‘permanente’. Post Brexit it’s very difficult to get residency unless you have €€€, and you can’t work with a non-lucrative visa, although Digital Nomad legislation has just been introduced, which might cover being a Boss Babe Digital Creator!

Sugarplum48 · 05/03/2023 17:15

@Spongebobette l agree. For a ex copper to put naked pics of her kid in the bath is beyond disgusting and shocking. It's such a dangerous thing to do. You can bet pics of her kids are on the dark Web for all sorts of despicable creatures to see. Not that she would care. She doesn't seem to have a nice word to say about her children. Moaning constantly that God forbid her kids be kids and on one post berating her son for talking to her.

Spongebobette · 05/03/2023 17:54

If I were the Castle Seniors I’d be so disappointed in those self-centred, entitled offspring

PieonaBarm · 05/03/2023 18:35

I can't wait for ex BFF to take that dog for a proper groom rather than just a puppy one. It'll get scalped down to it's skin because it's matted as hell as it's in and out of mud and water and needs to be brushed daily which she clearly doesn't do. Poor dog might actually be in pain with it.

Sugarplum48 · 05/03/2023 22:50

That vile women needs her dog taken away from her
