aha, niecie, you won! will hopefully expand tonight if CL stops telling me I am out of sync with the server.
sparklefrog will look for you soon, I only need a handful more FV neighbours to get my blue ribbon (wow. never thought that would happen!)
On the fuel thing, this is probably stating the obvious but as I felt ridiculously proud of having worked it out, am going to share. If you put a 1/5 tank gift into your tank when it is full, it starts a new tank, if you follow, and then starts adding fuel again - so I put one 1/5 in this morning, and had a whole extra tank by the time I came home this evening. Have now got another one quietly breeding until I get round to ploughing later on.
So all these 1/5 add up to LOADS of free fuel!
