    Another crap work day almost done, next stop my folks to get my stuff shifted.
    Hoping nobody's home.

    Had no luck looking on s1 etc either today - turns out I missed a massive job fair thing the other day in Glasgow.

    Hopefully doing a car boot sale on Sunday as well.

    good luck on Sunday, and hope it all goes well.

    until then BIG HUGS...

    Spent a long & semi fruitful day at Blochairn - didn't think I'd get it, but I did, and did ok.
    Minus pitch fee & a cool v-tech thing I got my wee girl, made £130!
    Gotta love those baby clothes, huh?

    Pity my mood's wearing off - forgot to update on Friday, took a tumble Thurs night coming home from work & thought I'd broken my hand - hospital said it's ok, but in agony still and getting shooting pains up my arm.

    Blochairn is good if you get a good pitch. Sounds like you did well.

    As for your hand, epsom salts into warm water and soak your hand in it for 20 mins. Do this daily it will help. If you still have shooting pains up your arm tomorrow go back and get it checked out.

    Cheers Unix, hope everything's ok with you after your emergency.

    Gave all the car boot dosh to her for bills etc, still means I'm going over my overdraft again, and will struggle until pay day on 26th.

    Will that help out regarding bills etc once your OH goes back to work? Did you check what benefits you may be entitled to?
