How I recovered my Christmas photos

With so much technology around us, it is so easy these days to take pictures.  After my phone tried to commit suicide by throwing itself down the toilet (yes I'm not taking responsibility for that), I'm very aware of photos on my phone these days and have it in my mind to set time aside each month to download the contents.

So anyway, over Christmas we got the 'big' camera out to take snaps so when I got the card out of the camera and put it in the laptop and saw 'error' my heart sank!  (Can't remember the exact wording but it basically said, you're not getting the pictures off this card biatch).
