took photo in daylight with tungsten wb, and the photo is all blue.
I know i should have shot in raw to avoid this, but is there anything i can do now to get rid of the heavy blueishness of the photo?
Sorry heres the photo

Sample so we can drag into PS to determine the recipe?

Most anything is fixable:

--- to --->

(or close to it considering the initial quality)

If you had Lightroom you can adjust the WB even on a JPEG... oh hey lucky you, I have Lightroom. Send it over.

Ok Brad... that's just too weird!
Saw there was no pic in this thread so ear-marked it to come back later.
Went over to look through Crystal's portfolio, wondering where she'd gone - came back, and you'd posted that shot of hers. Too freaky.

Here you go. Click on the image with the grey dropper in curves until you get the right colours.

Image, Adjustments, Match Color, click the Neutralize box, hit OK.
Image, Adjustments, Auto Color.

Then taken one step further to get a good neutral Grey level as Judi mentioned,
Layer, New Adjustment Layer, Curves, then click the middle eyedropper on the lower right and click
on a neutral Grey pixel in the image. I clicked around the 630 vertical and 580 horizontal coordinates.

That will get you a real basic, neutral shot to work with with what looks to be pretty decent white balance and very minimal noise introduction.

Yeah, I'm getting slow in my old age, but I did have a valid reason - I was on the phone with
some crackpot scientist trying to get me to Photoshop the ozone layer out of some pics.
Something to do with losing their funding for methane research from cow farts.
