On a laydee, definitely. I think chaps have to be a bit more careful with their choice of frames......:o

and I'm rubbish...

OK, well rescued! The nice people at Vision Express are very helpful - they always choose my frames for me, and I've always been happy!

Morning, by the way :hello:

Morning :wave:


I'm always a bit suspicious of the staff selecting something for me. I always think that they are going to pick the stuff they can't shift, or what they get most commission on.....


Me? Cynical? :A :A


Boatie - I had to stop myself shouting when I read through - wish I could have been around


Big hand to yellowmonkey, though. Top job, fella :T :T :T :T

Seriously well done Basilcat - that was a fantastic thing you did (or rather didn't do )

Really really well done



How's everyone else? Got an eye test today and thinkI'm gonna need specs :eek: - you reach an age and things start to fail.....

Thanks for praise Lurkio- like I said, it's all you people that have got me through it.

Funniest thing I've read for weeks:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Lurkio, if you're looking for fantastic, cheap glasses then I can recommend optical4less.com

I discovered them from a tip on this site and I've had several pairs of specs from them and been happy with them all.

As an example I got a really nice rimless pair for £39, they looked and felt the same as my previous pair from UK high street optician which ad cost me £350 :eek:

Oh Basilcat, are you trying to give me heart attack, I've just read through all of last night's posts and when I got to your post about having 10 fags in your hand i shouted 'no' really loudly (I'm at work ).

Well done for fighting the urge and not giving in, I'm really proud of you :T
Fantastic advice from Mr BE about having a glass of wine - It's a trick I used myself in the early days of quitting.
I still haven't got round to buying some running shoes, but it's at the top of my list of things to do.

Thanks Boatie... and hello :happyhear feel quite saintly today :A

The glass of wine thing worked but had about 4 so feeling a bit rough today !!_pale_

Make sure you go to MK and get those trainers !!! xxx :rolleyes:

You're on! I'm planning on getting the shoes (and a sports bra!) this weekend and going for a run (jog? walk? stagger?) on Monday lunchtime.

My aim is to do the sport relief mile in March (it's on my birthday actually!).
