Oh dear--illness! I used to be an RN in Australia, but I worked in a hospital, which is so different than home care. What a journey for you. I feel for you, both you and your sister, but also your father. I can imagine you were a bit shattered yesterday, and like everyone else on first being zapped back into real time, hissing and spitting once you found out about the update. I've connected with a few people who had the same reaction, and it seems like most of them are staying.

But please put your wishlist back on. I don't care if you can't return what's on mine: I'm milking Santa while she's still active because that's what she wants. She's the Che Guevara of SS:HM! I don't give away anything I need myself, and at the moment there's not actually much I need. For instance, if you run out of energy, I can give you a whole collection that will give you a dinner (fully replenish your energy and give you an extra 10 points). It's not like I've worked hard to collect some of my rewards. I would be happy to share. Honestly.

On a lighter note, and speaking of jigsaws, from the time difference I noted between us last night, your total fluency with English, and that you had a 5 hour train journey to a colder climate, I'm guessing you live in the UK, probably England and travelled up to Scotland. Never fear; it's a big place; I'm not a stalker! I just like puzzles.

That said, I'm not bothering with the jigsaw challenge. A more experienced player suggested that I save my time machines for the pyramid/cube/whatever that's coming with the Christmas challenge, and I would definitely like a glimmering desktop like I see on so many of the higher level players. But I'm going to pick my challenges.

Anyway, glad to hear you're not going and please ask for what you want or need. Either Santa or your other friends can help you out. That's the whole point. Some people give 5 presents, others give a token ladybut or arrow if they don't have the items you ask for--or simply charge pictures to show goodwill. There are restrictions though: you can only give 1 assembly item per friend and a maximum of 10 collectible items per day (spread across those you're gifting).

All the best -- Chloe.
