    Good day to you, my wonderful ladies!

    I love it when you do all this initial stuff - all so exciting! My tips would be to find out your local "WEETU" group - it is information and training (usually free) for women wanting to set up in business. Business Link is also another good one to get freebie help. Both should be found by doing a search on google and they will provide you with a wealth of information and help.
    I've just had a look for a WEETU group in my area but there isn't one. Hmm, there are other similar things, so I'll look into it more. I do havea scottish enterprise office locally, I guess I could bug them for things :p

    You know that scene from A Christmas Carol, when Ebenezer has been seen by the last ghost and he wakes up and runs for the window then shouts to the little boy below and is elated that he hasn't missed christmas?
    That's pretty much how I feel.
    I woke up (well, my mum rang and woke me up) and it's like something inside me said "You've got your whole life ahead of you" and a weird fogg had lifted in my head. I'm only twenty freakin' five, I've got years ahead of me yet! There's no rush to get anywhere in life, I'm not running a race and more importantly my time isn't running out!


    Ps it looks like my mum has been offered a lower four in a block flat, so will be moving in there instead.
    Pps, I've gone and burned my hand and arm with nirtomoris whilst stripping paint from a table in the garden. I didn't feel it burying into my skin, I didn't feel a thing at all. I just saw what looks like a scald on my hand when I woke up this morning then the shape of drips on my arm in the same colour. Oops! :rotfl:

    Joanne, I have also had hormonal problems following a mistake made regarding contracecption. This has affected my fertility and my ability to sustain a pregnancy. I honestly dont know if i will ever be able to have children so i know how you are feeling right now. it doesnt matter if you are ready to have a baby, what matters is knowing that you can have one when you are ready to. So many people tak ethere fertility for granted.

    I am a member of a board which is really supportive for problems like this, it is full of really amazing people, if you want the web address let me know and i will send it to you. everyone there is so helpfull, and im sure they know more than any medical professional about these topics. I honestly dont think i would have got through some of my problems without their help.

    Take care, you are doing so well with everything, you are such a positive person.
