I have a moral dilemma! My very good mate has had her third (and according to her, "absolutely, no question, final") child. Baby3 came to visit me with mum, bro1 and bro2, on Monday. She is a gorgeous little thing and of course photos had to be taken with 'Aunty' Chell! Of course, in the photos Baby3 looks an absolute little gem, but Aunty Chell looks reeeeally horrible - Aunty Chell is not very photogenic at the best of times but it's horrible having pictures that make you feel particularly old and ugly and make you feel that the times when you feel reasonably confident and maybe even vaguely presentable are just a fragment of your imagination and this is in fact what you look like all the time! But because there's this lovely new little life in the photos how can you possibly delete them from your digital camera?
I did get some lovely ones of GoodMate, Bro1, Bro2 and Baby3 so she is there to 'keep', but I want my photos to reflect me as part of her life from the start.
I suppose I could always cut her out and stick her on one of the fairly reasonable pictures of me haha!
Vanity, thy name is Chelley! (Significant roll of eyeballs - probably from God too!).
