The poem idea is brilliant, and the photos - I can probably afford about £15-ish, I can print photos from the pc though (somehow!) and I got some free photo paper from an MSE link (wey hey!) so I could figure out how to do it. I can upload them ok, but getting them to fit them paper flummoxes me..!

Oops, he's just got back, bets go and finish later

try photo elf

You can download a free trail, and it lets you re-size pics to any size at all. Takes a bit of fiddling to work it all out, but the results are great. Has a bit to change printer settings so even my crappy old printer made great pics. I made a load of 35mm by 24mm keyring pics with it.

good luck!

Hi!

Thanks for the lovely posts and ideas! Just having to do a quick reply as the littlest is trying to lick my face (as they do!)..

Nenen, the book looks like it was made for him! He does love making things - at the mo it's a struggle finding time to do it with him being self employed, but I think I could rope my mum into helping me with bathing and feeding the kids on a Sunday and give him some time to read it and make things!

It's hard farming the kids out - the littlest is still breastfed and sleeps in our bed, so we can't leave her just yet (plus she's going through that phase where they freak out if someone else holds them, which starts off endearing and ends up a pain, lol!), and we can't leave the eldest at my mums overnight either - my mum and dad are fab, but they have a lot on their plate, and there's a few reasons I can't really leave em there all night at the minute, unfortunately.

I had thought of getting Si's best friend to come up - he lives in Bognor and he's skinter than us but a very proud chap, I'd wondered about persuading him to let me buy him a train ticket, but the hurdles are the cost (£48 minimum) and whether he'd let me! Sigh.

have a look on the freebie board for photo freebies there are a few about. I think its photobox and also truprint.

How about making up a cd from yourself using the internet to download songs and make him his own special cd from yourself. With any special songs etc. on
