Thanks for your help guys I tried both the above link which managed to recover some of the photos from both of the losses.

Recuva found nothing, not even the photos that I could get off the card.

Any other suggestions please guys?

Thanks.

I downloaded this but does anyone know how I get it to work? The files are just in a document folder?

Thanks.

For a 32 bit Windows machine, I downloaded this,

http://www.cgsecurity.org/testdisk-6.13-WIP.win.zip (Direct Download Link)

From here

Unzipped it, click to open the folder, (twice), then you should see photo rec as a 1.6MB application, right click it, click run as administrator or open

In the black box does it show the hard drive(s) then the SD Card, with the option to use the arrow keys?

Mangaed to run it thanks. It was implying it was saving found photos to another part of the card but there is no extra photos on the card from what I had previously saved.

Anyone have any other ideas please? Thanks.

I think that you may have been "bitten", and this time you are unlucky.
In the future always use decent storage memory - Sandisk or Lexar for instance.
If you cut corners on this sort of thing you will lose memories which you can never replace.
