a new thread for us all. Most of us do Farmville, but we play quite a range of other games between us so weather you're into Mafia Wars, Farming, playing Bejewelled, Farkle, Cafes or any other games and you just can't stop - and your OH is bored sick of you saying

"Oh I levelled up" or "ooo I've got ribbon/mastery/whatever" - then this is the place to be. Even if we don't play "your" game we're still happy to hear you talking about how you're doing on it.

right I think I've now bought everything I need - got all my chickens, replanted all my crops (while baking bread and selling it as fast as I make it) and got 2 bread machines.

I have exactly 452 coins to my name............so now it's money making all the way, only another 749,548 to my next expansion (oh and I'm on level 33 now )

oh and I've just gone onto FV to sell my latest lot of gifts and realised I'm up to level 48 - must have done that earlier and not noticed

LOL at levelling up and not noticing

Just doing my last load of blueberries for the day then planting overnight crop of cranberries.

Hoping my wheat is ready in CL to get bread making!!

aberita · 14/12/2009 22:02

Flamingo (better late than never, though you've probably found out in the meantime) - your gift box is full when you have 30 gifts in it. Mine has been full a couple of times over the last few days as I've been keeping 3 or 4 of each present this time round just in case... and it'll probably be pointless this time. But you never know!

Lorem - I'll send you a present in a minute. I don't need any more presents, but anything else is fine. Oh, trees would be especially welcome as I'm planning on going for the blue ribbon after I've got the one for the animals. I don't have a lot of room for any more of either (trees or animals), but I'm looking forward to culling selling most of my animals once I've got the ribbon - hopefully in the next few days - and having slightly more space. Which I'll no doubt fill up with crops/trees/decorations within about 5 minutes.

tip for the animals - concentrate on cows and chickens - they only take one day to harvest - and with the sheds now you can quite a few without them taking up too much space.

Similar for trees - Cherry trees only take 2 days so are the quickest to get it

OP posts:
simpson · 14/12/2009 22:12

i think the maple trees are quick too...

I have over 2000 trees to harvest then my trees are gone For the last rosette (red or blue I forget )

Don't have any animals apart from a chicken coop for special eggs and dairy.

Oh and a reindeer for festive reasons

simpson · 14/12/2009 22:12

and a calf because it looked cute and I felt sorry for it, it needed a home

Awassailinglookingforanswers · 14/12/2009 22:13

oh yes - Maple trees as well - they weren't available when I got mine so it was cherries all the way.

Basically you want the 2 day ones, and 1 day for animals

OOh all my wheat is ready, am off to make bread

Awassailinglookingforanswers · 14/12/2009 22:18

oh have fun - I'm jjust finisihg my first lot of 154 off, will have more to do in the morning (as when I harvested the wheat this morning I planted corn to be ready the following morning - and replace the corn with wheat tonight)

OP posts:
simpson · 14/12/2009 22:20

yes am getting confused by what will be ready when

Have replanted wheat with what I have just harvested iyswim with a small amount of corn for later in the afternoon but should have corn ready in morning too

aberita · 14/12/2009 22:23

Thanks for the tips ALFA. I just wish you could have more than one chicken coop; it's not that the chickens take up much room but they're being hidden by the turkeys. Not to mention the hours (well, almost) I seem to spend collecting eggs. And I'm sure I must have dozens of rabbits hidden in the trees... Could do with room for another cow shed as well, but four seems a little excessive! Fingers crossed for the ribbon tomorrow, anyway - only 121 animals to go now.

oh don't all laugh at me - I've borrowed DH's earphones to listen to something on Youtube - and kept them on while playing.

I usually have my speakers off - but am now playing games with them on and it makes it all much more fun

OP posts:
simpson · 14/12/2009 22:37

ALFA - LOL usually in the day I have the radio on heart which is right next to lap top so I sing while I plow

right after switch over costs (and buying 2 more bread makers) I have now got 20k - this bread is going to be a good one - especially with a bit of grape jam and the odd lot of cheese thrown in

OP posts:
simpson · 14/12/2009 22:44

yes have been making grape jam and wine at the same time iyswim and am now on 40K

Was on 22K ealrier today BTW so not all made today

I bought a load of chickens, and 3 bread machines today so quite pleased with that.

If people are sending me gifts in FV can they send me a cow please. Before I had all you mn neighbours I didn't have enough neighbours for a cow shed so I sold all my cows to make more room. Now I can have cow sheds galore and I can't blimmin well buy any cows [sigh].

My initials are LC and pic is of a festive tabby cat btw.

Thanks

hmmm - after requesting all those maple trees I'm now thinking I don't like them.......

They're too bright so you can't see all my mastery signs in front of them, and the buckets are hidden behind the signs as well so I can't see to harvest properly.......also not much profit.

Think I may need to switch once I've got my (next) villa and started making some money again . Perhaps a longer growing tree that makes me more money..........

OK - I've decided - if you want to send me gifts on FARMVILLE - please can you send me Date trees - don't worry if you can't gift them yet - Elf Gnomes (or anything else) will do

OP posts:
FlamingoCrimbo · 15/12/2009 07:58

Right, I'm writing a list of gift requests - can people please tell me what they want if they don't want presents. Everyone else I'll assume wants presents.

ALFA - date trees
Medusa (LC) - cows
Flamingo - decorations (going for pack rat ribbon)

I'll add more as I get requests!

FlamingoCrimbo · 15/12/2009 07:58

And if you don't say anything, you're getting presents!

FlamingoCrimbo · 15/12/2009 07:59

CL gift requests -

ALFA - chickens

aberita · 15/12/2009 08:09

Trees for me please!

ALFA - I never realised that you could tell by the bucket that maple trees are ready for harvesting; thanks for pointing that out!

nymphadora · 15/12/2009 08:29

Gifts!
