Moral dilemma: use friend or high street?
I'm a daily contact lens wearer. However, I wear glasses sometimes to give my eyes a break. My current glasses are not in a good way and I'm overdue an eyetest too. A friend I met in the last year is an independent optician. However, her prices are in the designer category rather than the likes of Specsavers et al (and I'm…

Is my ex being unreasonable? (warning, rant!)

Before he even moved in with me I settled a large income tax…
