Yes i'm going to staple the photos to A4 pieces of paper and photocopy them. Did you put all your documents in clear sleeves in a folder?
How did you number your pages?
From earlier in the thread...

I photocopied everything that I could here and sent it together with the originals. I had 5 sections with 1 treasury tag through each section to keep the section together and then 1 treasury tag through half of the total paperwork (keep all the sections together and in order) with another treasury tag towards the end of the first half which I joined through to the end of the second half so it all stays together. It meant punching 2 holes, 1 for the section treasury tag and 1 for the whole thing. I did the same for the copy.
Obviously anything that needs signing will have to be photocopied after it has been signed. I'm probably a control freak but I'd rather do as much of it myself as I can!
Slightly edited from original post.

I've put a covering letter at the beginning of any section which I thought could do with clarity in a certain aspect or simply in the manner in which I have presented the information (e.g. the lengthy and numerous itemised bills)
Then a page at the beginning of each section detailing everything in that section (written exactly the same as on the contents page) with the addition of 'sponsor:**** applicant:****
e.g.
The Sponsor
Sponsor: Fred
Applicant: Jane
April 2010
Consisting of:
Sponsorship declaration
Sponsor’s covering letter
Attested copy of sponsor’s British passport
Then a covering page for each item with the same title as on the contents page and section cover page with 'sponsor:**** applicant:**** written on it.
Since there are 5 sections and I have got a pack of 5 sticky index markers, I'll colour code everything and write a number on it just like batleykhan suggested
I’m also going to stick in a bunch of receipts and invoices for pregnancy books and baby stuff that I’ve bought recently with a covering letter, although not sure where, maybe in the sponsor section – can’t hurt. We are dealing with humans at the end of the day, maybe I'll get an emotional gesture of goodwill
The list below is what I sent off, and how it was arranged.
