I am slow going as well.
Woohoo on the Hay Pile, I gemmed an extra one so I wouldn't worry about the two hour timer as much.
I sold some of my farmhouses during the last sale so I could get the spooky stable only to find I still at cap.
At least the timer on those is only 10 minutes so not much of a wait.
I have one more Big Bad Clubs to forge so I can level my cottage to 5.
And nearly have enough pig coins to cease the production of the eau de toilet
