I Did Go To Specsavers Today

[Tilly2]

as I have been having problems with my current glasses. They had a deal, two pairs for £85....now, choosing one pair was problematic, choosing two pairs was way too much for me. Decisions, decisions!

I've gone for brown and blue, plastic, with no nose pad thingies. I hope they'll be ok.

Do you have problems with choosing glasses?

[shoota]

I prefer tankards with nice comfy handles.

I got the tortoiseshell ones like that Tilly as I keep losing them wee nose bits..takes me ages to choose too..far too big a choice !

[Tilly2]

I suppose I should have said 'spectacles', smarty pants!

Hello. Nice to see you back, I think.

[B00]

Nope, I only need glasses for reading (so far!) so choose the cheapest on offer. My current pair from Specsavers were £20.00 and then I got a spare pair from Poundland!

If/when I get to the stage where I need gegs constantly, then I'll put thought into them and how I look in 'em.

[Tilly2]

Choosing sunglasses is far easier, for some reason, don't you think?

How did you loose the nose thingies, Minty?

[Mamyalynne]

My choice is very limited given the strength of my prescription,but I do know what you mean Tilly.

[murraymints]

mine are only readers..I go for the 2 pairs for 69 pounds...one pair stays upstairs by the bed..the other downstairs by my armchair ...

[Tilly2]

Mine are reading glasses, Boo, but I seem to wear them an awful lot. I am always reading something.

[murraymints]

dunno Tllly they just drop off !

Does your husband wear specs, tilly ;-)

[DaisyNonna]

Am absolutely hopeless at choosing frames. Hate the decorative bits they put on the nowadays.

[B00]

I only wear mine for reading in bed. Ideally I should wear them for work as reading scratchcard numbers and sometimes barcode numbers is a trial, but I'm far too vain!

[murraymints]

I tend to put them on the end of my nose and peer over them all the time..treat them like bifocals. I did have them danglng on a chain but kept catching them and pulling off the legs !

[DaisyNonna]

Not a nice thing to do with spiders minty

[B00]

I did attempt doing that MM, but as I wear my hair in a bun for work Mr Boo said I looked like some kinda bonkers librarian- so that put paid to that!

[murraymints]

oo noo..I catch spiders and liberate them outdoors...

shoota you have grown a beard !

[Elina]

Hi Tilly, I absolutely love choosing new specs! I'm due some in October ... I'm thinking of trying their ultra flex this time.

[Canary42]

I had the same problem with BOGOF frames - in the end I got two identical pairs.

I always go for a spare pair ever since I once sat on my only pair in the car - and I need them for driving. I finished the journey with them elastoplasted to my forehead - fortunately had some in my Car First Aid Kit - about the first time I had ever used it !

[murraymints]

Mrs Boo Doubtfire !..

He only wears his sunglasses when he looks at me, otherwise he'd be dazzled by my splendor, Melv.
