Glasses cost a fortune - I've had my current pair for some years, but I think I might need a new pair when I next have my eyes tested in January:(Early retired - 18th December 2014
If your dreams don't scare you, they're not big enough0 -
I got a spare pair free - although they aren't really as you have to pay extra for thinned lenses etc... but I live in fear of being left without any. On the upside i have lots of money off fuel in December...
One assessment down and one to go for this evening, then looking forward to a movie with DS

No, they are literally meant to be spare. Not to look as smooth and sophisticated as your main ones.skint_spice wrote: »but I live in fear of being left without any.

My glasses tend to wear out, rather than my eyes change.
But, I'll probably be needing bi-focals some time in the next decade... :eek:"Follow the money!" - Deepthroat (AKA William Mark Felt Sr - Associate Director of the FBI)
