    I've been Money Tipped!
    I'm not a glasses wearer, fir is. Blind without them.

    I wore glasses for reading for a very short while, got a book about eye exercises, and didn't need them again. Probably will one day though, its that type of vision which gets worse , isn't it? Can remember, blonde day.

    These are great beds that you can test drive at an equipped premier inn.

    Ah... the memories :)

    When I was small our bedroom curtains were brown/white like that and the "big flower design bit" looked like a monster's face when the streetlight shone inside. I can still remember crying almost every night and screaming, because of the monsters.... and being told not to be stupid and to go to sleep, there aren't any monsters.

    I was going to tell chewy not to have nightmares after looking at those curtains!

    Considering that all the curtains here are the ones that were left (except the window at the top of the stairs), they're generally pretty inoffensive. Good job really as I expect they'll be here for a while.

    Keep them, then, when you leave, sell the house with "curtains at windows are unlikely to be the ones you saw at the viewing and are being left purely so you've something at the windows until you fit/buy ones you like" :)

    Throws over sofas that are the wrong colour are the way to test drive a colour.

    We inherited black out roller blinds in all the bedrooms apart from the main one. They are still there, not yet bothered getting curtains.

    Chewie...I am lost for words. Not often I am overcome with a wave of compassion for you...but the curtains have done it.

    Hugs.

    I wear glasses when driving, I leave one pair in the car just to be legal. Otherwise I have got used to the sight I have and generally don't bother. I do have lenses that I wear occasionally if I am going somewhere where there will be a lot of distant viewing and I don't want to wear glasses.

    For long drives I wear lenses so my field of vision isn't restricted in the way that wearing glasses would restrict.
