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 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

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!
