Hurrah, Spring has Sprung! My town looks much nicer in green. I visited another town and the nice lady let me take some peaches, pears, cherries and oranges back to my town which I have been planting like man. My town is now swarming with fruit trees, which is making paying off my mortgage much easier. I was shocked to find out that a pig called Truffles who lives in my town is actually a girl! I'd been trying to get it on with her thinking it was a man all along.

Hmm, I've finished paying off my mortgage for the last time and suddenly the game's a bit less interesting, though I did get a green feather from Boondox for donating a chunk to their town (and at last the poor sods can stop eating dirty rice). It's nice to have some bugs and new fish - though it's much harder to find fossils now in the green compared to the white snow-covered ground! - but I'm a bit less drawn to the game each day now.

I'm finding fossil hunting a lot more difficult too although I have become a fishing dynamo.

Yeah, me too. Maybe there just aren't as many fossils at the moment?
Also: I've set up my WiFi access, can someone explain to me how I use it to visit other towns? I'm technotarded.

First you need to get other people's Friend Codes. You can find people on www.animalcrossingcommunity.comOne you get the friend code you go to the friend code part of the itinerary thing. It's the Heart symbol. Then enter the code. Once you get the friend code you go to the main gate and talk to one of the dogs (the one on the right). If you want people to visit you tell him you want to invite guests. He'll open the gat for you and then you need to wait for the guest to come (you will have to tell them over the net that your gate is open). Once they arrive it tells you you have a guest. To visit other towns you tell the dog you want to go out. He'll give you a list of your friends and you need to choose the one to go to. But the friend must already have their gate open for you to select them. Unfortunately my attempts to hack into some Russian's wireless internet has failed so I can't go visiting. I am about to pay off my 590,000 odd mortgage. I did it in just over a week! It's because I've got so much fruit. Yesterday my a coconut tree didn't die for me! It must be warm enough now.

Awesome, thanks!
I planted a coconut tree yesterday, so I hope mine grows too. It didn't occur to me that the cold might be the reason why all the trees I planted in winter didn't take. I swear, if I had a brain, I'd be dangerous.

I think coconut trees will only grow near the beachy parts. I have a little Riveria going on now with my palm-lined shore. I shot down a UFO the other day but it's pilot would wake up. Then when I turned the game off and played later he had moved but was unconcious again. The next day he'd gone. He could at least have given me a 'lovely carpet' for shooting him down.

I'm still traumatised - I was courting Goose to be my lover, but he moved to another town. Sob.

What exactly is pitfall seed? I can't work out what it's for.

It doesn't do much, really. If you're feeling particularly vindictive you can plant it in front of someone and hope that they walk over it and fall in a hole, but it's a bit hit-and-miss. I just dig them up and sell them to Tom Nook.

I was also courting Friga the penguin bitch for almost two months then she buggered off. I still have her picture on my fireplace though. If you go to their house when they have their boxes packed and tell them not to go they don't go. There is a sexy teddybear that I want now!

This is what I get for not going to other people's houses enough, isn't it? I mean, if they bloody warned me that they were going of course I'd beg them to stay. There's not a lot I can do once I've got the letter telling me they've gone. I haven't yet found the "follow X to new town and stalk incessantly" option.

Damn stupid Tangy- my garden was by far the best of the flower fest!

We won 3 trophies in the flowerfest, mainly due to one of my twins pinching everyone else's flowers!

I still haven't checked for the results of mine, but my attempts at gardening are half-arsed at best. I do expect some kind of award for my community spirit since I did make a point of digging up everyone else's weeds to stop their gardens from being ruined.

I nicked everyone elses flowers and then when I had no space left I kept picking them and selling them. Teddy saw me do it though and didn't say anything, so it's his own falt. I've just be wallaped with the 800,000 odd thousand mortgage. How do I get the new Nook store? I heard you have to get people to visit your town and go there to get one of them.

Fuck knows. I still can't even grow a coconut tree, despite following your advice. I'm really not very good at this game.

They have to be evenly spaced on the beach, in front of the water but not on the wet sand. Once you have planted them you have to water them at least once a day until they become trees, then you can ignore, soon they will grow 2 coconuts. RTD I think you have to spend a certain amount in the store to get an upgrade.

Heh - well, in that case, it looks like I've been doing several things wrong. Now all I need is another coconut to plant...
Now - red turnips. How long do we have to grow those for? Because I've had them growing for ages, and nothing happens, and then eventually I let them go ONE DAY without watering because I end up having a life or something, and they die.

You have to water red turnips at least once a day (I often do twice just to be safe) for a week. that's it, then you pull it up, take it to the Nooky man and he'll pay lots of bells. There's no benefit to keeping them any longer than that apparently.

Bloody hell - I was letting them grow for months, assuming something important would happen!

Ohh I've become a little addicted to this recently. Anyone wanna come visit me? I have coconuts and oranges to swap for cherries and pears.

I have cherries to swap (and apples, if they're any good)! PM me if you want my friend code...
