Glasses, frame repair broken in the middle, above nose
I got my glasses about 5/6 years ago. Not only did the frame cost me what I felt was a large amount of money but IMO they not only suit me but I feel very comfortable in them. They are heavy, men's glasses. With steel arms I've dropped them the other day and they broke its about the 12th time I had them above my head…

Switching towel rails to central heating instead of hot water
In our current house, and the house before, the towel rails are/were hooked up to the same feed as the hot water tank, so they're only warm when the hot water is on.
