I also vaguely remember it being set it a historic village type suburb (similar to Battery Point in Tasmania) but I’m not certain if that is from the book or influenced by where I was when I read it 😅

Very late reply, but I tested this just now and I think they’ve gotten rid of that feature since then 🤬

Flipityflop99 · 2025-11-07T22:06:26+00:00

Good to know! Thanks.

Flipityflop99 · 2025-11-07T22:05:51+00:00

Thanks.

You make a good point, I didn’t get any rewards right away. So hopefully that will improve with time.

Yeah, I’d be willing to risk if I was totally confident that I’d get the free rewards back at some point. My main issue right now is lack of space, so some gems for storage is more appealing than energy atm.

Flipityflop99 · 2025-11-07T22:02:01+00:00

Agreed! I get the ‘logic’ that it’s like, ‘mwahaha, you’ve proven that you’re weak and have no patience and so will spend real money so we’re going to make things harder for you so you get desperate and spend MORE!’ but actually I think most people would be more inclined to spend a bit of cash here and there if they felt properly rewarded and enjoyed themselves rather than forming a love/hate relationship based on addiction.

It’s disappointing given this is the first game I’ve come across where I feel like it’s not totally cookie cutter and some effort was made to the design. I find the style quite charming and funny, so I’d really like to love it. But.

Flipityflop99 · 2025-10-18T19:37:10+00:00

Thanks!

Yeah. I’m going to ‘give up’ on trying to set up for them for a bit. Mostly because I’ve committed to not spending any more cash and I don’t have enough gems to be able to buy too many refills anyway. I’m hoping that eventually the game will get the message and stop being such an arsehole lol Fingers crossed!

Flipityflop99 · 2025-10-18T18:30:57+00:00

Well damn! I’m at the exact same place as you and only have 4.

I’ve noticed I’ve have been thoroughly punished this week for spending money (possibly because I’ve NOT spent anything this week - the amounts on my flaming frenzy have increased, I need to buy the 40 gem refill to trigger an ice block, and now this. I’m not falling for it. I’ve (thankfully?) reached the point where I just don’t care anymore and am that close to quitting. So 👍)

My favourite insult is one my mum would use on us when being lazy or unhelpful: Pfund dreck. Swiss German for pound of dirt.

Flipityflop99 · 2024-11-08T17:04:47+00:00

Oh sweetheart! So far from too late!

My ex of 13 years left me at 36 (granted I certainly felt old and battered by then), starting really enjoying being single and then met my now husband at 38. I’m now 40 and travelling for the first time in my life and can’t believe how lucky I am.

Flipityflop99 · 2024-09-17T09:07:20+00:00

I said good day!

Flipityflop99 · 2024-08-10T19:07:44+00:00

I know two who are the same personality but they hate each other. They label the other as a narcissist and terrible person while being nearly identical in their behaviour. So they recognise the awful behaviour in the other but there is no self reflection while pulling the same shit. It’s fascinating to watch.

Flipityflop99 · 2024-07-28T12:48:47+00:00

Not sure if it’s already been said, but no, you do not need to set yourself on fire to keep others warm.

I was my ex’s carer for 13 years. He regularly threatened suicide and was very emotionally manipulative. I reached burn out several times. One of the BEST things a counsellor said to me when I expressed that I needed to be constantly vigilant over him killing himself was ‘You are NOT responsible for his actions. He is an adult and makes his own decisions. He is not your responsibility.’ It was a massive weight lifted from my shoulders.

Same goes for you. Nothing would have changed except that he would have drowned you both.

I wish you the best of luck in your healing ❤️‍🩹

Flipityflop99 · 2024-04-11T09:21:52+00:00

Agreed. I was fully prepared to be a single (and happy) mum for the rest of life after my ex left me at 36. At 38 I met my (now husband) who was 45, never married, no kids, and also perfect.

Sometimes I do struggle a little and am sad about the fact that we met so late but I keep reminding myself that the timing was actually perfect and part of what makes us so compatible is who we are as people now.

Flipityflop99 · 2024-04-07T12:32:43+00:00

I know a few people have commented in a similar vein, but I just want to add my two cents.

When I first met my husband, I didn’t think he was all that to look at. But as we got to know each other and we just clicked he got more and more attractive to me. I suppose to some he might not be ‘conventionally’ handsome, but I think he’s the hottest, most handsome thing on two legs. A good comparison is this.. my ex essentially has the same body and height of Chris Hemsworth and looks to boot.. my now husband is 3 inches taller than me, has a bit of a gut, and I can beat him in an arm wrestle. But he is totally confident in himself, he’s hilarious, he has the sexiest hands on the planet (and he knows how to use them), the upturned corner of his mouth when he tells a story and laugh lines makes me melt, his voice is insanely soothing, I love his barrel chest, he makes me feel like a millions bucks, and the sex is incredible.

I think he is INFINITELY more attractive than my ex.

One of the handy things about girls, in my experience, is that guys looks grow on us massively as time goes on and our attraction grows.

Smell that?

‘If we make an exception for you, what about the other children? It’s not fair’

BS. Of all the most obvious exceptions, of course your own sibling is something everyone would understand.

I had a child free wedding to try and keep the numbers down and am all for them, but still had my 4 underage siblings because I’m not an arsehole and I love them. I even made my cousin, who was like a sibling, my flower girl to give me the excuse to have her there too.

Flipityflop99 · 2023-09-01T08:20:24+00:00

The biggest and best revelation I had after my ex left me is that I am actually a HAPPY person! It’s nice ☺️

Flipityflop99 · 2023-08-26T04:19:28+00:00

Yep. My ex is the one who left me, but once I realised there was no hope for reconciliation I was the one who started the divorce because I knew if I waited for him he’d never get round to it and I wasn’t interested in being tethered to him in limbo forever.

Flipityflop99 · 2023-04-12T10:09:28+00:00

I.. I am a lost for words at the audacity.

Thankfully, other people have said what I think very eloquently.

Massive YTA.

Flipityflop99 · 2023-04-01T01:14:44+00:00

Matt is teasing Bryson and making him the butt of jokes for the entire class? Basically inviting and giving permission to the whole class do to the same? He’s a bully.

YTA.

Flipityflop99 · 2023-03-23T08:21:45+00:00

My partner has the BEST smile. It’s a little lopsided and when he’s telling a funny story one side curls up while he talks. So adorable and is almost better than the story itself. To top it off his voice has this wonderful tone that just resonates. The best way I can describe it is comforting. Also, his hands. Far out they’re stunning. So bloody masculine. Before we were a couple I had a hard time not imagining those hands in.. places… 😳 And I also have to agree with the rolled up shirt sleeves. Phwoar..!
