I too have hundreds of crap shots just to capture one or two usable pics

Benjamin did go through a stage of smiling for the camera...in fact he kept on grinning up at the burglar alarm detector in the corner of the room because he thought the red light was a camera...but mostly it has just been lots and lots of trial and error!


And check if your camera has a 'Kids and Pets' setting - the quality won't be quite as good because it doesn't autofocus but it takes pictures quicker than a normal setting so you have more chance of actually getting what you were looking for.

I never tried it with Benjamin but when we went whale watching I set the camera up to take 10 shots in quick succession to try and capture the whales as they leapt out of the water - I had to delete hundreds of shots but I got a couple of pearlers!

Sorry another question. I feel like this is something I should know, but I'm paranoid that I'm missing something. cleaning pottys- at the mo I'm just tipping away, wiping out if anything is stuck, filling with water from the cold tap and tipping that away down the loo too, then wiping out with a milton wipe after bedtime. Is that enough, or am I missing anything?

If anyone sees Tonka Chuck the Talking Truck on offer anywhere can you let me know please.

I would love to buy one for Benjamin for Christmas but there is no way in this world I am spending £50 on one gift for him!!


It is in the Argos 3 for 2 but I can't think of anything else of that value I want to buy and I hate the Argos site/can't work it properly/am to mean to buy 3 things where 2 are of a lesser value.

Gill i sort of semi passed out at the poolside, like i fell but i wasn't knocked out just dizzy, and no one asked if i was ok just looked at me like i was drunk or something. Luckily an old school friend was there so she watched Amber while i went to the toilet to puke _pale_ Wish i had someone else to have took him for me but that's just how !!!!!! my life is. Or someone to take my whinging baby away from me for half an hour because she whines for about 80% of the day and it continuously hurts my head.

Amber keeps grinding her teeth _pale_:mad:

Thanks Susan :A:grouphug:

OMG Beenie - sounds awful

Hope you recover soon.

Teeth grinding will pass...eventually!





Edit - where is Bruno hiding?

I take it all back. Alex slept all night and I had to wake him at 7.30am to take him to the childminders.

MFD, T'internet is showing that Sainsburys sell it online. It is currently on at £49.99, can you hold off for the expected Sainsburys toy half price sale? Which is expected to be around 28 Oct. If you really, really wanted to try and get it then, you could log on at midnight and try and nab it as some people do. Couldn't possibly do it myself as i love my bed too much.

ETA: Elle came up with a better result.

Aww Hugs Beenie that is ultra carp.

SugarSpun

Hugs Beenie, that sounds horrible.

Michelle, if the fairies send you some postage money can they bring me the pink and black fairy dress please? If there are no other takers we'd be interested in the swimming outfit and the trainers too
