Belfie - if that wasn't the hilarious post, the lost one must have been pretty damn funny. But you make me want vodka now. No fair. One day, I will have a child that doesn't feed randomly throughout the night (like now). And BTW, your little miss is squishably lovely.

ZF - a good way of practising is to find a random object and stick your camera in front of it. Take a photo. Look at it critically from the following criteria - composition (I break this up into two components - angle of the subject in relation to the lens, and the positioning of the subject within the frame and the environment), lighting (exposure and interplay between highlights, midtones and shadows), depth of field and focal point/s, colour, composition of background (is it complementary to the subject or does it distract from it), balance between subject and background. Take lots of different photos of the same object paying attention to each of the criteria. Experiment and see what works. Change angles and lighting. Take the shot from close up, and from far away. Look at other photos that you like and see what techniques the photographer has used - see if you can replicate those techniques. You take some lovely intuitive shots, btw.

Going to bed now... Miss Miss is back asleep.
