Think something is in the air as I have an eye test this saturday, I get them free for life but not glasses, but work is paying for the glass for me so thats a bonus
I do get free eye tests and some money towards glasses which helps. And the opticians felt sorry for me having to buy yet more glasses (I think I've spent c£800 in the last year) so they gave me a further 10% off. Still £250 though
Ouch, my mother has glaucoma so my eye tests are always free, but at least work will pay for the glasses as am using vdus and computers all day. at least your optitians has helped a bit xx
How much?! Holy cow! That's a lot of money to spend on glasses. I spent £30 and that was enough to last me at least a year, maybe two
Ouch! Thing is you have to have them, so you might as well get ones you like!
Just out of interest I totaled the amount I spent on glasses last year it came to £732. I had 2 pairs of distance glasses (one spare pair), 2 pairs of intermediate glasses (one spare pair), one pair of reactolight (spelling) distance/sunglasses. I didn't get any reading glasses as I've already got two older pairs of readers which I rarely use as I read without glasses (just need to hold it a couple of inches from my nose).
That is day light robbery for the glasses. I had to get two pair last year but i have no idea how much they cost. I even asked my son to get them. If i knew i would have paid myslef.
Hope you are well this morning Paula.
I get my eye test and glasses free of charge. But if Gerry or Aisling needed glasses they would have to pay. I'm considered the sick person in this family therefore I have a medical card, and get my glasses free with it. I could buy expensive glasses frames and get my prescription put into them, but the free frames are just fine.
Morning Paula!.....coo! woddalodda dosh for glasses. I've only ever bought 1 pair of designer frames, and within a month the lens on one side had fallen out! I get my eyes tested at the glaucoma clinic, but for reading, I have to go through the whole performance again with an optician! Mind you I couldn't do much without them.
Tbh about 70% of the cost is the varifocal prescriptions I have, i don't get expensive frames really.
Sorry I've been quiet, I feel awful today - full of cold, ache everywhere, struggling with asthma. And it was Jess's first day at college so I took her and picked her up (she's getting the bus from here on).
I'm going to go to bed now, I think ;)
Plenty of fluids and rest. Hope you feel better soon (panda)
Did she enjoy college?
Are you resting?
Jess loved college :). Still feeling rough, I rested/slept yesterday and will do today, except I have to take Luna to the vet.
Hope Luna gets on ok at the vets hunni, glad Jess enjoyed college, try and rest when you can x
Morning paula. Hope the new glasses are going okay? Are they x ray ones you know the ones you get in the back of comics. Hope you have a good day. How is the Bible study going on?
Hope all goes well at the vets with Luna (bear)
Hope the vets is a good appointment lovely.
It was, finally. Her weight has stayed the same in the last two weeks, the vet gave me a double appt so she can really check everything over. There's no obvious tumours, her heart and lungs are strong. Just to cover all bases, she given her a 3 day intensive course of a anti parisitic and I'll take her back for a weigh in in a month
I had an asthma attack today, while I was driving. That was very scary ....
Oh no!! Are you okay now? Did you pull over? Were you safe? What about an inhaler? I hope you had one with you.
I was on a junction leading on to the motorway so couldn't pull over. Jess got my inhaler out and I used it while I was still driving, fortunately there was a bit of traffic so I was driving slowly. I came home and slept for hours, not surprisingly
OMG. I hope you've made a doctors appointment.
I'm not intending to. My asthmas normally under control but it's just been aggravated by my cold. I will book my flu jab though
I got my flu jab today. My doctor got a bit carried away with the chat and seemed to go a little bit harder than normal. I've a sore arm after it.
Omg that's so scary! I'm glad you had Jess with you to get you your inhaler! Please, lovely, rest.
I am. I've cancelled my plans to see the curate tomorrow. All I've got on the calendar is the cleaner and binge watching Castle season 2
Good. Very sensible!
Duvet day. I didn't get much sleep last night as was coughing my guts up. Though at least I can sleep, poor Si has to go to work .... apologies if my temper is a little short :/
Thank you for realising that you need the day off. Take care of yourself and for gods sake mind that cough.
Lots of liquids, take what you can and need to and rest.
My hearings gone now, my lips are all chapped and blistered and my nose is chapped ...... feeling decidedly sorry for myself tonight :(
I've got a meeting on Monday with my housegroup leaders to talk about why I'm leaving. The Pastoral Coordinator (also Jess's godmother and a dear friend) is coming with me and has already spoken to the leaders. I spoke to her today and she believes they completely misunderstood my concerns. I'm nervous but I can only go and see what happens. They're lovely people and I don't want to lose them as friends.
I'm looking at some dead roses in a vase and I havent got the energy to get rid of them but am strangely unable to ask Si to do it. I know that's irrational but it's how I feel tonight
I really hope that you don't stress too much about that meeting - I know I would struggle with it.
Do you know why you don't think you can ask Si?
Hope you feel better tomorrow lovely.
Erm, it's only flowers but I'm very conscious that he's been working 12 hour days all week and when he comes home I'm lying uselessly on the sofa and he's the one who's doing dinner, sorting the dogs out, tidying up the house. It just feels like one more thing I shouldn't have to burden him with. And, yes, I know I'm not feeling well but it doesn't stop me feeling guilty itms
I understand that... But rationally you are ill, and if it was the other way round you wouldn't think of it as a burden at all and so I'm sure he wouldn't either!
Hope you're feeling at least a little brighter today lovely x
I don't feel quite so lethargic. I think I'm getting better and my voice is definitely better. I'm still doubling up on my preventer inhaler as I still had to use the reliever a couple of times yesterday My ears are clogged up, although that's not always a bad thing when you've got teenagers ;)
I've asked Si to carry the vase into the kitchen for me .... and he took me into the opticians to pick up my new glasses. I love them! And, no, I'm not taking a pic when my lips and nose are red and chapped ;)
Just a pic of the specs will do then lol
A la Eric morecambe? ;)
Yeah why not.
