I love the idea, but ever since time begun my Mum does the whole camera avoidance tricks and now she looks twice her age and can't even find clothes that work, I don't think she would go for it. She is stressing about what to wear for Christmas day as it is, at 4'10 she has always struggled with clothes (hence the heels;)) now she has no meat on her it`s even worse and she is also quite often a yellowish colour too.

The only way we got lots of pics this summer is my niece who just took pictures non stop.

Maybe:confused: She doesn't do well with pomp, she'd more likely show us up and get us kicked out. Also a little far for her to travel, she's just outside Lincoln.

I really appreciate everyone's input:thumbsup:

Going to have a long chat with my sister and possibly my Mum about it all at the weekend, see how we're all feeling about the gifting thing, It might be a wait until we see how she's doing by Christmas, mind you the determination and stubbornness she has is second to none - she'll be FAB!:thumbsup:
