  • Love the new hair IA! My hubby has contacts, they cost us £25 a month but are the ones you wear for a month and you don't need to take them out at night, the ones you take out every night but wear for a month were £12 a month. That's from optical express, I'm sure you can get it cheaper but his eye tests have always been free and if I remember right you get a months free trial. We have the NHS exemption card thingy.

    If it makes you feel better about yourself I would say definitely go for it. What is a few pounds a week if it makes such a big difference to how you feel?

    There's only sunshine that lies ahead. You have to move forward because it doesn't make sense to live in the past.

    Evening! :wave:

    Only just got home because we stopped off at my parents on the way (wish we hadn't, but that's a whooooole other story :rolleyes:).

    I had such a fun time at the party, I think we were quite respectably behaved considering the amount of alcohol consumed (apart from the lambrini pee incident obviously :rotfl:), although I think the less said about my 'singing' the better. You have NOOOO idea how relieved I was when I realised that video had no sound! ;)

    Sar, let me know if that disc works and if not I will send you a less scratched copy - think Tash has been using it as a teether or something.

    ps You look lovely in both photos but give contact lenses a go, you look really pretty.

  • Hi IA
    Glad to hear you had a good night! Interesting wee you have apparantly, although I'm sure you just splashed it out of your glass :p !!
    The Tax credit entitlement covers the cost of the eyetest and £25 towards your prescription, you can either have the £25 glasses (not like the old nhs ones honest - bet you don't remember them!) or top up the rest for the pair of your choice.
