Watch batteries

Sometime ago my other half bought a set of tiny screwdrivers for about 90p, the type that you could use to put the screw back into your glasses.
My watch battery had died, normally I go to the local jewelry shop, and get charged about £5-00 for them to change the battery.This time I picked up two cards of different sized round batteries from the £1.00 shop, (these were 2 cards for £1.00), so altogether I had 4 batteriews to fit my watch, plus about 20 other sizes. Mr. T. changed the battery with the screwdriver set in seconds.
I reckon quite abit of money to be saved over the next 4 years!
