Hiya
Speaking of school photo's I heard of someone who would take one of the photo's out of the pack and send it back to the school saying 'no thanks'...she argued that the school never knew as they wouldn't bother opening each individual pack of photo's to count them.....:eek: and that they charged too much for them anyways!!
I used to take photo's of mine the first day of every school year so that you could see from one year to the next how much they had changed etc.
Bit cheaper and you don't end up with loads of pics and don't know what to do with them all ....still got some of my 2 when they were younger in the very same pack that they came in....:oTotal debt £[STRIKE]37864.78 [/STRIKECOLOR=purple][FONT=Arial Narrow][SIZE=1 [/STRIKE][STRIKE] £31681.03[/STRIKE] -[/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR]£16700

I've got a large wall in my hallway thats going to be used for the school photos and i've seen love white frames in wilkinsons reasonably price too so that'll be my next purchase for the house.
good news is that my wall art for my living room came today which i wasn't expecting tbh can't believe i only got it for £33 reduced from £79.99 what a bargain and it looks great up i have to say x x xNEXT TARGET: Halifax credit card DEC 22 £0 / £4499.12POAMAYC 2011 £6378.35 POAMAYC 2012 £5000.78POAMAYC 2013 £3480.04 POAMAYC 2014 £4085.14POAMAYC 2015 £7565.24 POAMAYC 2016 £8000.90 POAMAYC 2017 £7278.80 POAMAYC 2018 £13208.18POAMAYC 2019 £13309.28 POAMAYC 2020 £15026.050 -
I always take my own school photos too, usually outside so the summer flowers are still out and makes it look a bit prettier lol, and that way i can just keep taking them until my son actually cracks a smile (the school ones are ALWAYS without a doubt rubbish! ) So never ever pay for them now!
Have you seen those frames with about 20 pictures you can put in, i want one of those for the kids pics but they seem to be so expensive i never get one lol, perhaps i'll just go to the £1 shop and stick a load of cheap ones together and stick that on the wallMORTGAGE BALANCE when we moved Aug 2024, £120,000.

Have you thought about buying a cheap cork noticeboard and putting all your photo's on there and then covering them in the sticky plastic stuff..could then paint the frame any colour you like...just a thought but it might work out a little bit cheaper than the multi frames??:)Total debt £[STRIKE]37864.78 [/STRIKECOLOR=purple][FONT=Arial Narrow][SIZE=1 [/STRIKE][STRIKE] £31681.03[/STRIKE] -[/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR]£16700

I loved my LOs first nursery photos and kinda felt obliged to buy them
Last years weren't very good though, so we didn't bother.
My brother and sister-in-law get all kinds of rubbish with their kids faces on which they dish out to family... calendars, book marks, coasters :undecided
One thing I would LOVE though would be a big family portrait of me, LO, hubby, the parents, my brothers and their partners and all the kids :heart2:
