...hmmm.............small problem on the pics front :(
went to Boots to pick up the prints and CDs and........... :cryhard:
my old Canon had obviously decided not to wind on properly over the weekend - so only 2 pics I've got are in the house and very similar to Ally's..................b****r!
Yet again I'm really disappointed! - meetings and cameras don't appear to be a good combo for me at the moment! :( :(

the question is, when I buy the new Ixus............do I take it to Lincoln? :?

there may have been a few surprised faces if you'd got yours out! ;) :lol:

yeah - maybe I should take two so that it I lose one or one decides not to work I've still got piccies :? It's just so frustrating when you know you've taken some good shots! :angry:
at least I've been able to download Ally's and Murf's :D

I think Kate might have been taking some over the weekend :dunno: :)

Afraid we forgot our camera and the phone pics are pretty poor but i'll see what i can do.
Just to add i had a lovely time and a big thank you to Sally for putting up with us all!
And to Ally for the drive to infinity and back- and for reversing for 1/2 a mile when needed!

The orangy swirly thing in the foreground is a hat (it's an odd angle of it)the pink thing in the background is a Miss Piggy puppet.
