    If I'd paid £500 for a pair of glasses I hope I wouldn't be daft enough to leave them lying around where a child could damage them accidently.

    Haven't read the whole thread, but I agree with the above.

    I paid £400 odd for my last pair of glasses and the frames were only £50 (got them in the kids' section), so the rest was the lens as if I didn't get them thinned down, they look like bottle bottoms!

    But even though my glasses are a bit old now, I'm paranoid about them and they have a little case they always go into when they are not on my face. But then I can't see a blooming thing without them, so they are very precious to me.

    Mortgages (End 2017) - £180,235.03
    (End 2021) - £131,215.25 DID IT!!!
    (End 2022) - Target £116,213.81
