…she said. Catty always “knows” someone from Big Brother. I’m sure I know him. Aye aye aye. But..
He’s only from KILWINNING!!!! (centre of the universe and home town of thekid) So she probably did his AVON or something.
Mikey to win!

well that was a bit gid eh! Guy I went to school with won one of the safest Lib-Dem seats(Roxburgh and Berwickshire) for the tories. Alex Salmond won Gordon (OK he was probably always going to, I mean who in their right mind would turn down the opportunity to have the possible first minister as your own MSP?).
The SNP won my own constituency of Abz North too. The ever annoying Nicola Sturgeon won Govan, which is great for the party, first Glaswegian SNP seat ever.
Annabel Goldie presented herself fantastically well through the evening/morning despite being unable to claim her own constituency in Renfrewshire.
I’m saddened that North Ayrshire can’t get over their Labour fixation, talk to anyone and they do nothing but complain about them, I think they all believe that a vote for anyone else is a wasted vote, they should have done what fitaloon did when he…
surprised myself by adding an extra vote on my council election slip by giving a 3 to the SNP candidate, it might just help ensure that Labour and the Lib Dems don’t get in.
Still, there’s no telling some folk. Highlight of the evening for myself…
I’m torn between the Arran boat breaking down with Cunninghame North’s papers on it and that Alex Salmond victory. I’m somehow squeezed in between him and Nicol Stephen in my constituency for power sharing, a fact I am sure should be of benefit to the region. I am actually in the Gordon constituency for Westminster elections as well, which sucks. 
I suppose I should mention the farce that is the new voting electronics and possible fuck ups of the electorate. I almost spoilt my own council paper by putting an x instead of the 12345… only saving myself at the last second by rtfm-ing the paper. It was stupid imo to run both elections together while at the same time introducing the voters to a new, parallel system of voting. Maybe next time we’ll get it right. I’m sure this will have a negative effect on peoples perception of voting and the usefullness of voting. There will be people out there who know after all the hoo-haa that they unintentionally spoilt their ballot papers and will be put off by this. I hope it doesn’t show in the next turnout.
In the hard fought contest of the-kid.org the second vote went to the SNP with 4 votes(the 5th was me trying to turn the poll off!) over the Lib-Dems and Tories both having 3.
Now the wait for the list result…

Great, I’m on holiday as from today, not back until Tuesday week. Only cost 4 days too since there are 3 public holidays (today, monday and monday week) included in it.
I have my medical in Glasgow next Friday for the LGV license so will probably head down to Ayrshire for a few days to catch up with the family and do that. I also have a house to sell in Kilwinning since it’s holding us back from moving on up here. Trouble is my sister is living in it.
She has had a long time to get round to buying it from me though and I feel I have been more than fair in letting it drag on for so long. If she still wants it she can put in an offer. It’s not right that she gets to live in a big house with her one kid for nothing when my own three kids need to share a bedroom in this tiny rented cottage. Time to move on up here and, well, we all know what prices in these parts are like. So I need to sell the house in Kilwinkie and use the proceeds to pay off my mum(who has been paying the mortgage on the house down the road as far as I know. I don’t want her to be out of pocket after all because she gains nothing from these payments, just my sister gets to live in my house!) and have a deposit for a house up here. Least that’s the plan. 
My sister wont be thrown out on the streets either, she could walk straight into North Ayrshire council’s offices and be in accomodation that day. It’s not like she hasn’t lived in a council house before. I think it more likely that she will throw her toys out the pram and spit and hiss until someone closer to home takes her in.
Ah bollocks to it, time to make some easter activities with the kids…
