    Do new specs count or can I exclude them?
    That's a tricky one beanie, because they're a necessity, but sometimes not cheap. I have included them in the past with this challenge, but can see an argument for not doing so. I guess that's probably not much help? What do you think? xx
    On reflection as I cannot see a thing without them & need them both for distance & reading I am going to exclude. 
    Hope that’s ok.  Xx

    So that makes yesterday and today one. 
    Thanks 😊
