    I know some of these will be reduced and even not considered by the OR, but at least if I go in high then hopefully he won't knock too much stuff off.. here's hoping anyhow..

    You may not wear glasses but you still need regular eye tests. I don't know how old you are but I'm at that age where I'm starting to (I'm so embarrassed to say!!!) need reading glasses. I don't really need them yet but my eyesight (short sightedness) has gotten better recently and that is why because i'm over 40! (not much mind you).

    Thanks Paula..

    I am slightly worried about creating Beneficial Interest, but they would have to prove that, and there is no proof as I havn't contributed before.. so, hopefully the OR will see that times have changed and I now need to contribute..

    Thanks for the info xx
