Hi everyone,
So, thankfully the PC is working again (in fact we dont even really know what the problem was as the error message didn't actually seem to fit - hmm, yes, that's probably MORE worrying) and so I'm back. Won't have as much time as I would have yesterday though, unfortunately, as both kids are at home/underfoot, hehe. I sincerely doubt I'll have time to go back and read/reply to all the posts I've missed so I apologise if I've missed or overlooked anything directly addressed to me. Please feel free to PM me if there's something you want to bring specifically to my attention.
Unfortunately I've had the "and others" gem message again this morning so please do let me know if you've sent me a gem recently. I haven't actually been able to find anyone I've missed so far as the only people who got back to me were ones I, thankfully, already had listed.
Finally bought my 5th island last night so it was ready and waiting for me this morning. Have done some minor clearing but have already moved a fair bit of stuff over (just placed randomly for now) so I can work on my 'colosseum island' first. I was reasonably happy with all of my islands before this (though maybe less happy with my 4th) but, of course, I decided I wanted to do another MAJOR reshuffle. Then there's the fact that because I am on an iPhone it will be a particularly long, fiddly and physically painful (last time my shoulder and wrist were sore for days!) exercise but I've got the 'bug' and therefore I NEED to do it!
I'm currently playing with my colosseum placement on an otherwise empty island and deciding which way fits better with the overall look I am going for...*sigh* methinks it's going to be a LONG process, haha.
