I need to change my glasses, with the work we do I have had elbows and heals in my face and have had my glasses' arms corrected a few times, could really do to get some hardier ones!

I've gone for lighter frames this time round

I think its Vision Express whereby you can buy a sort of extended warranty for your glasses which will cover repairs and replacement and it also gives a discount off other glasses purchases eg your friend or OHs

The cost depends on how much your glasses are but if you need them for work and/or driving and you have a history of glasses mishandling then its a good idea - I think it also refunds if you have not had a claim

We have used them for the last year years but next time we might just get the prescriptions and then shop around before deciding on where and what glasses to get - it seems very high pressure in there now and very expensive

I managed to get my new frames off their sale rack £41, the bill for the lens is £149 :eek: I need reactalight lens, varifocals and now have prisms in both lenses.

This is from an independent optician that I used to go to before I swapped for Spec Savers.

You know you choose your new frames after your eye test is done? Well this time at independent, half way through I was taken through to look at frames and be told of the options. Like a mug I fell in hook line and sinker :eek::eek:

If I go back there I will be ready for them and just ask for my prescription and get glasses else where. This is how I moved to Spec Savers a few years ago. Got 2 pairs for the price of 1 more or less

Turned really cold here now and been raining all afternoon. Popped to Mr M earlier as he us nearest to me. Reductions weren't goid enough at that point so I didn't bother.

Off for shower and get pjs on I think. Have got pain in gut, think it's trapped wind :eek:

I think the trick may be to get the most useful thing for under £5 - something you either need or already use or something that would look good as a gift - there are tote bags for a fiver possibly ...

I bought the lavender foaming bath 100ml for £3.50.
I don't have a bath often but when I do it's normally because I'm all achy. Lavender is fab for helping me unwind.
And before some smarty pants says it- nope that's not why I'm called stinky

Currently, after tax, NI, student loan repayment a junior doctor earns between £1700 - £2300 for anywhere between 250-300 hours work.

Take into account a 15-30% pay cut and more hours then you can see what the end result is.

My niece in her first job did locum GP she earned £35 an hour, with weekly flights home. She now works in London, and has a great lifestyle on her income including several exotic holidays/trips per year.

My other niece is married to a doctor (just become a GP). When he worked in hospital he did not work an extra hour without getting paid. They live in a very large house, in a very nice area, several holidays per year, and both children attend private schools.

The government has been implementing fiscal cuts for year, they started on the little person.... and no one with the power and influence to stop this did a thing to help. Now the government has worked their way up the food chain.

But they still continue to cut the poorest people's income, I do not see people shouting about the ridiculously low living wage, cuts to housing benefits, and the cuts to the tax credit system.

A 15% cut for the members of my family who are doctors, means that they will not live such a luxurious lifestyle, but they can survive.

As Niemoller stated

'Then they came for me - and there was no one left to speak out for me.'

The reality is that the doctors did not speak out for others.... and now the people will not speak out for them. Sorry x
