    Pop in to Max Spielmann, usually situated in Tesco stores. (I'm sure others will do this) They will scan your pictures onto a CD or Memory stick.
    Takes very little time, while you wait and no hassle.

    If you have a good digital camera you could experiment taking photos of the photos.
    Maybe even rigging up a simple frame/stand to keep the camera at a specified distance above the photos.

    No idea if that would give acceptable quality, but with a digital camera you could take any number of photos, and only pick the best ones.

    Buy a cheap printer/scanner, it will always come in handy.
