Apologies folks................really thought the sale list would be up by now :(
I think they're busy with a big sale - maybe next week  ???
It doesn't bother me too much - I'm going anyway  ;D ;D ;D I've got to drop my kids in Lanark at 10am, so will be there 10 minutes after. I think I'll manage to recognise Annie  ;) ;D :-*  How about a quick meet before the sale to put faces to names then a sit down in the cafe around 2pm (that way we won't be walking past people that we could be talking to  ;D)

I have been trying to get the sales list from the site to no avail.  I fancy a couple of wee bantams.  I may go anyway, just for a wee nosey about.  Its years since i have been there.  I shall be the wee fat wife with the lost look on my face.

Just printed it off - don't know if I'll be able to sneak away from work to get there though!

After having a look at the online catalogue, i've decided i'm gonna save my Barrs bottles up for the Rare Breed sale on the 19th instead.

I hope you find some nice chooks HH!
 Wish I was coming!
 INSTEAD I am going into the office to announce that I am dissolving the business partnership. I have discovered that my business partner has been effectively stealing from me by drawing around £1000 a month more for himself than he deigns to pay me. As  a result I have had 2 late mortgage payments this year. I have also discovered that he MAKES one eighth of the money I do for the firm. I feel such a fool for trusting him and leaving him in charge of firm finances. He said he would do it as I am "no good" at it and he has sole access to alll the bank passwords and accounts info etc.  A chat with our accountant last night put me fully in the picture and I am shocked and angered and saddened. God knows what he has been taking without me knowing over the past 4 years.
Stressful day ahead hence I have been up since 5am, smoking fags and fretting!  :'(

Oh dear...

Greed is bad, but deceit is worse.  :(

Good luck with that.

Anybody know what time the sale is likely to finish - I have not been before - does it go on after lunch, as I know I cannot get there in the morning.

Hi Simon, yes it goes on after lunch, I don't remember the exact order it runs in - but the pigs were last to be sold last time round - maybe see you there (I've got a blue buggy with a red haired curly boy in it - he'll be making LOTS of noise lol!)
Valr - OMFG ! I hope your day goes as well as it can. I'm continually amazed by what some people think they can get away with - have they never heard of KARMA ? Get your day out the way, then get yourself close to some piggies - it's amazing how quick they de-stress you !

Sorry to hear that, VAl.  Come round for a chat if you like - finance stuff I Do understand - and how to detect fraud - I presume he will be charged?
