Keeping afloat till I can get round to the debts!

I'm feeling old. I now need varifocals? I've been short sighted a long time and have been lifting my glasses on and off to read and generally struggling a bit. I'm hoping I get to grips with the glasses I've just ordered as they are a bit pricey! Will let you know when I collect them after Christmas.

Hope you get on with the glasses.

My other half has given in and gotten some too and he struggled for a bit with them, took him a few weeks of annoyance to get used to looking through the right bit 🤭 I keep taking my glasses on and off too and think I might need some.... holding off for now though.

Actually I wear varifocals and have done so for a long time.If the optical professional has got the measurements right, you shouldn’t need to do all the adjustments yourself.It should be seamless, perfect straight from the first.

@liselle DP has had a right pain with them. He sent the first pair back and the second ones were better but he still struggled for a while to get used to it. He's fine with them now though. I think we should change our opticians as my glasses were too strong, DP glasses were not right either and we both had to send pairs back.

Thanks all. Interesting comments. I'm in the hands of whether the measurements are correct.eeek. I'm hoping they are. First person did them and got wildly different measurements from the second person who had to check them. A third person got involved and agreed with the second person and did a mini training session with the original measurer. I'm hoping that it's all correct and I get used to them. I've been pretending to ignore being unable to see close up for a few months and the optician said I'm gonna have no choice but to have  them eventually so to just get on with it and give them a try. I just hope I can see through them! Oh how rich I would be if I'd never needed glasses. 😂

Yes those opticians sound useless! I use Bo-t- the friendly neighbourhood chemist.First class!

Really understand the limping along to the end of term one day at a time.  I hope you are now resting.

We didn't make it. Got a phonecall to collect one child early from afterschool club last night as they were unwell and upset. Then the other primary school child threw up in the night. Called it a day and kept the youngest two off today. Looked a bit suss I suppose but one was sent home and the other had puked so not much I could do. Sent the eldest to school out of the way. Terms properly finished now thank goodness!
