this is why I gave up Spiderette for Lent. 

and how's it going Lori?

are you through the craving stage yet?      

Nope, still crave it all the time. 

Come on, EASTER! You can't get here fast enough!

I'm occasionally playing other games, but it's not satisfying the need....

But you'll be clean by Easter...   you can't fall back off the wagon after being off it for so long 

You need a support group Lori 

I have the urge to google Spiderette now 

oooooh...  its solitaire!!

yeah...  I used to make important life decisions based on the outcome of games of solitaire on my computer at work..   

Love solitaire ... although I love Free Cell more

(said in an Aldi advert gin lady voice)

I love Hearts (or Black Lady) I'm trying to teach Mr Woo as we speak (hard going).

I thought the point of giving up something for Lent was so you could have it back afterwards? 

There is no Spiderette Anonymous support group in my future. 

FYI, it's not just solitaire, it's a certain game. It's on my phone, and my husband taught me how to play it, and it rules my life. 

Ooo! I love Hearts, Sooz!

Lori .............thirty plus years ago a group of us used to play it every lunch time at work (for a few years) I love that game. I'd go so far as to say it's my favourite card game - not many people know it though in RL.

I am good though!

ooooh!   is it an iPhone game or Android..   or other?

iPhone, Ditty.

Soozy! One of my very first jobs, we used to do the same!! Every day at lunch...

oooh!

I'm getting one next month!!    An iPhone...   

I shall be having a look at this Spiderette when I do 

That wouldn't have been at Lombard North Central, Croydon - 1974 would it?. ooooooooooooh we had a proper card school going on there ...............lovely heavily subsidised canteen - beautiful food and 1hr 15 min for lunch - happy days!

*prepares to lure Ditty to the dark side* 

Nooooo....but it WAS a canteen. 

Twas my first real job...I was 16, and I worked in a food service facility for the US Navy. Played hearts with the sailors. 

it won't take much luring 

Clearly.

I'm not gonna share stats with you, though. You obviously make it a bloody mission to be the best. 

Ditty! have you played against LGS (Lovely Greek Sunsets) at Bejeweled Blitz....she regularly gets over 800,000 ???
 

I didn't work in the canteen ................I just had a job with a fabulous canteen.........................it was a fantastic job but i didn't realise it at the time. The workers got very low rate mortgages and a bonus every year. The dinners were 10p for a wonderful three course meal (endless choice) ............i was wooed away by a friend who was earning a couple of quid more somewhere else .......................one of the most ridiculous decisions I ever made.

How though?

I've hit 560,000 a few times.however 'Ive never hit 600,000.I get a rage on at times playing it.

PAH!  When I was still on FB, my highest score was over 800,000.  I even had a screenshot of it I was so proud.  

I bought the version to put on the computer but it's nowhere near the same or as good 

Personally I think she cheats ...I think They ALL cheat! 

That includes YOU! 

In times of weakness I have often thought about reactivating my FB account just so I can play Bejewelled Blitz. 

SOOZY!!!!!

Just seen your score (408,250)...   WOOOOOHOOOOO!!!!  

well done!!   

I KNOW!!!! Can't believe it and then I used another Phoenix and got 402,000 - I'm hot on your heels Ditty . 

this week could be your week...    I have nearly spent all me coins! 

Get you two showing off 

I just got 122,450

*pats Rexi on the head*

Well done Rexi  

Praise from the Ditts

*puffs out chest*

(I've been trying to better that score for the last 10 minutes ... I'm utterly rubbish at this )

You lulled me into a false sense of security

I knew I had a screen grab of the best score I ever got on Bejewelled Blitz.

That is unbelievable. I don't know how you girls do it.

Soozy I haven't played for over a year.  That's the one thing I do miss about facebook.  I bought a PC version but it isn't as good as the one minute FB blitz.

Every time I see this thread I get tempted to unblock Bejeweled Blitz. 

Must......stay...........strong...... 

I've had to rake this old thread out.  I downloaded Bejeweled as an App.  Look what I did this morning.

DITTO ......Damn you Cinds

Has Allen Carr written a book about addiction to computer games?

Ooooh and well done Cinds TBH it's been that long since I played it (I did manage to wean myself off eventually) I can't really remember how the scoring went but I do know that's an incredible score.
