Niiece have a look on my friends list - Stretch is on there.

Niecie · 17/11/2009 13:06

Wah!!!

Still can't find Stretch! Is her surname on her email different to her actual surname?

alwayslookingforanswers · 17/11/2009 13:10

nope - name is as on email .

Niecie · 17/11/2009 13:18

I give up then. Either you aren't who I thought you were (3 lovely boys, with red tops) or I there is a plot by FB to drive me mad and they are hiding it. I have looked more than once too.

Stretch - try it the other way. My email address is denise _ ds @ hotmail dot com

Take out the spaces obviously.

alwayslookingforanswers · 17/11/2009 13:23

have sent you a "friend suggestion" - with Stretch (hopefully) lol

Stretch · 17/11/2009 13:37

Haha! I think there is a plot! It has took me ages to load this page!! All added now! Thanks ALFA!

Niecie · 17/11/2009 13:40

ALFA - Still no Friend suggestion from you.

I do have a 'friend request' though - I didn't think you could do that for somebody else? Presumably that is from Stretch herself.

I have accepted.

Stretch · 17/11/2009 13:45

It's a 'suggestion'. She suggests it to me, then I add you and wait for you to accept!!

Niecie · 17/11/2009 13:55

Oh I seeee!

I was expecting the suggestion but she sent it to you. I get it now. Didn't take long did it?!

Invitations for neighbours being issued left, right and centre.

Want to play anything else? Cafe World? Yoville? Lil Farm Town? Roller Coaster thingy? Various fishy ones - not keen on those personally but still end up playing because of DS2?

Or do you still want to retain some semblance of a life?

alwayslookingforanswers · 17/11/2009 14:14

oh I thought I'd sent it to Niecie - never mind you found each other

I now have enough neighbours on Country Life to get the biggest expansion..........problem is I don't even have enough money for the smallest one

Niecie · 17/11/2009 15:05

You have to spend some time on Countrylife just feeding the cows. You get more cash if you feed the cows clover than if you sell it but it makes it very time consuming. I assume the same happens with the wheat and the corn when you give it to the sheep and chickens. Money builds up quicker that way.

But then on the other hand you don't have to plow which is a huge plus imo.

I have my smallest expansion but not enough neighbours (yet - requests pending) to get the next expansion.

alwayslookingforanswers · 17/11/2009 15:20

yes it is a bit time consuming all the feed stuff, but I've got a cheese machine (well 3 of them) and 3 cows, going to buy a few more once I get my expansions going. Mine also takes longer as I wait for the bees to do their stuff before using the clover

alwayslookingforanswers · 17/11/2009 15:21

oh and yes - same happens with wheat and corn, and I'm guessing carrots when they're ready shortly after someone gifted ma rabbit too

simpson · 17/11/2009 15:59

alwayslooking = am in same situation as you re countrylife

And want to expand on RCK but need 2 more neighbours

Niecie · 17/11/2009 16:27

Those bees are really cute. Actually all of countrylife is quite cute. Nice not having mini-me's stumbling around. DS2 likes the cows, chewing the cud.

alwayslookingforanswers · 17/11/2009 16:32

yes I think that's what makes it quicker game play (once you're actually in the game) - much quicker to load without the minime's.

ooooo - my first crop of carrots are nearly ready - will be time for some Angora wool making soon

simpson · 17/11/2009 16:39

LOl at minimes

I like the way the sheeps head goes up when it has finished eating

RoseBlossoms · 17/11/2009 21:23

Ok quick question about cafeworld what has happened to my buzz rating?! from 60 down to 20?! I'm on simpsons friend list intials HW pic of me dh and ds! If you want to have a look?

simpson · 17/11/2009 21:46

ok have you recently levelled up??

Check that you can't employ any more waiters or buy stoves etc as they don't always tell you.

Do you run out of food...

This is what happens to me and my buzz has gone from 105 to about 90. Grrr

Also best to close cafe when you go to bed...

RoseBlossoms · 17/11/2009 21:55

How do you close the cafe?

Wasnt me who levelled up! Fingers crossed for tommorrow!

I have all waiters, stoves so on.

Trying not to run out of food had one stove empty earlier! hmm maybe closing is what i need to do! thanks!

simpson · 17/11/2009 22:02

you close cafe by dragging door back to where you got it from iyswim

I tend to have a whole day every 4 days where i don't open it at all to build up food!!

RoseBlossoms · 17/11/2009 22:12

I would have never got how to do that on my own! Thanks!

hmm think i need a day free from fv and cw!!

simpson · 17/11/2009 22:23

LOL

Well think I am officially giving up on RCK as it is so sloooow is driving me up the wall

alwayslookingforanswers · 18/11/2009 04:59

simpson · 18/11/2009 08:01
