Meg, there's NOTHING like Aussie bacon! It's one of the things I miss terribly when I'm in Germany.
I sure hope you're able to get a place of your own soon!

GameHouse has a sitewide 50% discount sale this weekend. And, as all the games are already discounted without having to use a code, I'm using my 25% discount coupon code to get a further discount.
But how's this for a deal, whether you're a member or not, for anyone who hasn't already got all these games...

is on sale this weekend for $6.99 for members or $9.99 for non-members! 4 CEs for under $10! I have them all or else I'd definitely be getting this bundle.
Some other bundles for $2.99 or $4.99...

I've just bought Kingdom Tales 2 and The Tiny Tale 2, both for $2.44 and 2 punches. I'm not sure if I'll be getting any others...

meg & stusue -- You're both making me hungry talking about Australian bacon.
meg -- Glad you got a date night and it was a good one. Sorry your mom had to retire and is still having trouble with her shoulder. The AWAKENING series is one of my favorites.
stuse -- I was wondering how you were. I don't think I've seen a post from you for several days. Hope your visit is going well. Any more news about your mother? I think the last I rememberr she wanted yoiu to tell your sister about the cancer.

Hi Lily! The visit's going well but to say I'm not well would be an understatement. It's extremely stressful, having to be on the go and sociable every day. My health can't handle it. And I'm still helping my sister out, doing the heavy stuff like doing our washing, but she's using a walking stick now, rather than crutches, so is a bit more mobile but still can't carry anything. My mum and sis-in-law are due in less than an hour and the 5 of us girls are going out for lunch but I'm not yet well enough to hop in the shower. I think today's gonna be a long day.
Thanks for asking about my mum. Yes, I told my sister, which was hard, and the entire family knows now. Apart from being extremely tired Mum's going quite well. She has some pain that comes and goes and gets a bit breathless when she goes up and down stairs but is fine apart from that. But considering her age I think that's only to be expected.

{{{stusue}}} <-- nice gentle, caring hugs. I'm glad your mother is doing pretty well. So sorry you are having such a hard time of it. Hope you enjoy your lunch and things get a bit better for you. Ummm... if there are 2 other sisters why can't they help out a bit? They probably have families of their own but what would have happened if you weren't ther? Just sayin'!

"Well, cover me in sprinkles and call me a donut" I'm still working on Crime Solitaire 2: The Smoking Gun.
It's Bonus Punch Monday so I redeemed a pcc and picked up Fantasy Mosaics 4: Art of Color.

At the moment I'm parked within reach of the free wi-fi! I would like to update AK but then my fungus hut would lose it's payout and I'm probably good for quests until I get home. If only ART would have an update this week....
I''m d/ling New York Mysteries/Mafia game that I acquired last week, I really want to play that one and Cadenza. However, I have Awakenings Skyward Castle and Creepy Tales Vasel Land both going.
I only have 3 more carnival spots to play, but it will take until mid-October, 5 more weeks. It's always scary when you know there's only 3 more paychecks. I have about the same money saved now as I did at the end of the season last year, so whatever I make from now on is what I'll be up for the year.

If you have the Gamehouse Funpass, how do you play the games? Are they downloaded to your computer? Or do they run thru the cloud? They have the membership on sale for $69.99/yr, but I would only use it for six months. You get a coupon for a free game every month, is that right?
Wendy, when you have a FunPass, any games you want to play are downloaded to your computer. However, each time you want to play one of them, you click on 'Play with FunPass' and it checks first that you have a licence to do so, which requires an internet connection. This happens even though the game has been downloaded to your computer because you haven't bought the game to keep. Any games that you buy are downloaded to your computer but require no further internet connection to play, including the ones you get with your monthly coupon. GameHouse has no Game Manager or anything like that.
And yes, you get a coupon for a free game each month, which, like all GameHouse coupons, are valid for all their games, SE and PE. However, the coupons you get each month must be used before you get the next one, so you only have one month to use them and you need an internet connection for that. But that would just require going to a hotspot and choosing a game there.
You also get the first 2 punches on your punch cards free, so you only need to buy 4 games (not use PCCs), even if they're only the cheap discounted ones, to get a free PCC, which is valid for SEs and CEs.
ETA: I forgot to say good luck with your last 5 weeks! I hope you make lots of money from now until the end. And it's great that whatever you earn will be on top of what you earned last year! So it sounds as if it's been a good season for you.

Meg, you'll be pleased to know I had a whole heap of yummy, scrumptious Aussie bacon for my birthday lunch yesterday. If you'd like to know all the yummy stuff I had with it, check out my b'day thread.

Wendy -- Fins crossed that you have a great last 5 weeks!
