Yep, to go from she likely won't make it to worrying about paperwork is good! And I got the letter! The Red Cross are happy, Anthony's command have been informed. They have since declined his leave because there isn't enough notice. *face palm* He's got leave approved for the beginning of next week instead.

I'll have to look at that list, thank you! What I was thinking of doing perhaps finding all the items with say one word in their name like 'hot dog' that are requested. So I can quickly scan the list and don't have thousands of items!!

I want the 75 for the avatar but that will probably do me!! I mean, if they all cost this much thats a whalloping 10 million!! But I think I'll do what I did this morning and aim to hit the Kad at 1am NST time as hopefully there will be a little more time to breath at that sort of time!!

They are indeed! It's far more hopeful than it was over the weekend, thankfully. She's still in the ICU and under close observation, but her vitals are more normal and she is needing less support. They are hoping to move her to the Ward tomorrow now I believe. So it's all good news!! My main headache at the moment is with beurocracy and getting the hospital to release information to the Red Cross. So we have got a letter from the hospital to take to the passport people, but the Red Cross are verifying information for my brother's chain of command. I have rung the hospital three, four, ten times to say I am happy for them to release information. They have the ICU password. The Hospital are not playing at all. Currently it looks as though the hospital might be willing to email me a letter that I can then forward onto the Red Cross. Whether that will pass muster is anybody's guess!! But hey, if that's my main worry at the moment... I'll count that as a win from where we were at the weekend!!

I FED MY FIRST KAD! Ok, it cost me some 140k when there were cheaper options, but the cheaper options were going so quickly and I really wanted to feed a Kad!!

Well, that's one more avatar down... only several hundreds to go!

There are a couple of items that may need to go onto my NC wishlist after this I have to admit: Dyeworks White: Holiday Angel Cape & Wig Winter Snow Drift Terror Mountain Winter Background Premium Collectible: Winter Carriage

@Sciurus carolinensis Yep, I know that feeling as well. Had a few moments with my plushie gallery before!! @Angeló I have so many duplicates, but most of them are admittedly in the hundreds for Charity Corner. So when Charity Corner comes around and asks for specific items that I don't have, that will be my fail of the day!! Ever the optimist. I tried to get on the Food Club trophy board last night... and got my numbers mixed up so collected before the day's round came in. Frustrating!! Admittedly, I only won 12:10 yesterday, so it might not have made a difference anyway.... Also tried to do my second Jhudora quest off my phone and it was ridiculously slow!!!

Looking forward to the Jhudora day - I'm hoping to get that avatar this year and I'm only a couple of levels off getting the 'stage 20' avatar. I've also done the quest this morning and just need to do the quest this evening and hope to get a trophy of some kind.

The midnight reset works quite well for me as depending on daylight savings, it's 8 or 9 hours behind me. So the reset time is almost exactly when I sit down at my work computer!

I’ve been very impressed with the medical care she’s received - the surgical registrar I spoke to was clearly very knowledgeable and competent. I hadn’t even considered the radiology team, but you’re very right of course. Things are looking more hopeful today, she’s been brought out of sedation and intubation, her blood pressure has stabilised and while she is being under 24 hour supervision, it is more hopeful. We finally got a letter from the hospital - my brother ended up calling them from America. Interestingly he’s been in the Navy for about three years and only applied for citizenship this year. He’s a medtech currently working in an anaesthetics ward on a Navy base, although he’s done some work on the Comfort for COVID support in New York. The letter debacle hit the point of ridiculous when I was told they couldn’t access the headed paper that was locked in a secretarial office...!!

I got about three hours in the end. Thank God I’m not working today. I woke up to a phone call from the Red Cross... my poor brother is trying to move heaven and earth to get that passport expedited. the news today isn’t promising. She’s still under and intubated and is hypotensive due to sepsis. I suspect the sepsis is what caused the whiff blood results that got her admitted. So today isn’t great either!!

Thank you and the virtual hug is very well received. I’ve had a phone call from the hospital- mum is stable. She’s still intubated, but I’m feeling a little more optimistic.

Today has not been a good day. Mum was admitted to hospital this morning, after an ambulance crew woke the neighbourhood at 6.30am. The GP had called them after mums kidney blood tests came back. She presented with abdominal pain and gastrointestinal issues. More blood tests, a CT scan, and X-ray later, she’s diagnosed with a perforation of the bowel that requires urgent surgery. My father is... anti-social and lacking in social comforts. So I do the round Robin of informing family, friends and vicar. Unfortunately she is a high risk patient. She has poor health to begin with, and is a severe alcoholic. So she has a significant chance of surgical complications or not coming out of the surgery at all. She went into surgery at 6.30pm GMT, it is now 11.43pm GMT and I haven’t heard anything from the hospital. No news may be good news, but a heads up that she’s alive would be appreciated. Not that I can complain. Free healthcare at the point of delivery; admitted, assessed, treated and prepped for surgery in ten hours isn’t bad going. Doesn’t make me feel much better mind you! To make matters more complicated, my brother is serving in the US Navy. He just applied and received US citizenship and doesn’t have a passport yet. To get an emergency passport and leave he needs a letter from the hospital saying it’s life or death. Which it is. But by the time he found that out after the surgery was announced, with time differences, it was after hours for the hospital and can I find a consultant on duty to write that letter? Can I hell. Graaaah! *rant over*

I certainly seem to receive more Sho and Mag ones from the Battledome - I haven't used any, so I get about a 30% higher drop of those two. And a 30% lower drop on Cui Codestones. But wow, that is quite a stockpile you have there!!

I think I just about managed to skim level 20 by the end. If there wasn't a lower cap on YYB I could have done more, but the CAPCHA's on the other three games just did my bleeding tree in... Quad-maxing is definitely beyond my capabilities.

I never remember to go to Tummy!! I might try and visit him on 31st, 1st as those timings are when I'm often online at least. Today's anti-achiveemnt is that out of some 6 quests for Edna, all of them have been 1-2 item quests. I'm letting this one time out as she wants 2000np plus for no chance at the avatar...

Yep, two multi-billionaires are buying them as soon as anyone else puts them in at lower prices and keeping them at the inflated price. I'll be good for a while as I have 40+in my inventory and have been level rushing since I accidentally hit level 100 with a stoopid quest reward. So I will be able to do one codestone sessions for quite a while!!

I got itchy fingers at 67 and sold... Yep, same!!

Oooh, yes, that's a much needed addition!! Yes, it would be helpful if that is there for all main site events!!

You forgot Neohome repairs when you don't own a Neohome... I think the AC would be four families, all with small children or food allergies!! That said, I voted for it as well! The turkey votes for Christmas and we vote for carpal tunnel syndrome!

And today's category is essentially, what was the best NC event. I'm surprised they haven't used the Halloween event. That gave out some nice items. They changed the scoring at the last minute with no warning. I can't remember which team should have been on the winners podium at the end, but it wasn't Kiko Lake by the old rules. Might have been Meridell. Yeah, I went with the AC - I hit All Star for the first time ever, although with far less games than it would have taken me when I last played. So essentially, every event that was an event was broken in some way or form! It's more like asking people what's their favourite out of going to work, travelling on a packed train, doing a full weekly shop for three families or finding out your car needs repairing!!

If there was an item to increase level, I might be tempted!! I also collect from the Battldome and even when I could send my pets more than once a day I often forgot, so I have quite a few stockpiled. Unfortunately, those are often the cheaper codestones as they seem to drop more frequently. But seven codestones is sucking me dry!! I'm also training Shenistre, but he's still just under level 40 so I can send him to the Krawk Island training school. I'm in no rush as I don't think they'll be a big war plot anytime soon with the Flash conversion!

I think it's because the word Gypsy has been used as an insult/derogatory term so is considered impolite/racist.

My problem is that I often follow Garet and when I don't my wins are inconsistent. For every day where Garet tanks and I pull out a win, there's another day where I meddle with Garet's formula and he does far better than me!!
