    what do other people do with their old pics? most are from 35mm films and are not on discs just negatives.

    Very alert baby today, so not got a huge amount done, other than my dailys a few computer-related jobs I've been able to do whilst feeding. Have also walked to Halfords to get a new windscreen wiper and fited it with help of the caretaker (I managed to take the old one off, but obviously looked like I was struggling to put it back on again, as he came to help me. Found out some gossip too - he is the man to talk to if you want to know gossip ;) And we went to Mr T for some bits for tea and some yummy hot chocolate for me :)

    I think the rest of the cleaning bits will have to wait till DH is home, and can be the entertainment for the evening!

    :rotfl: I'll try and sneak one in next time, although I'm not sure my instructor will be impressed! I'm looking forward to this being my last winter not being able to drive!
