btw, how did the eye test go? Did you read all the letters on the board?
Yeah, it was fine. I'll need new glasses, but my sight hasn't changed that much, considering I hadn't been for an eye test since 2008!

I'd already picked out new frames. Normally that takes ages because I just never think I suit anything, but I actually rather like these new ones.

10 years since your last eye test? That’s bad!

Ah that's good :) I can't really testify since I'm the only one in my family who DOESN'T wear them...but I hope they make frames stronger these days. My Sister has been wearing them since she was 4 and in only the space of a couple of years she must have went through about 16 pairs!
 
Twenty quid?!? You're trying to crowbar money out of a Scotsman? :p

Haha, I never thought of that. Now that probably WOULD be abuse, worse than push ups!

C'mon Neil, you know I'm skint! Help out a fellow Celt! :p

Crowbar sounds about right though, haha!
 
I know, I know. It really is.

Damn. Just, like, accidental damage and stuff?

Oh the usual - friends wanting to try them on, people sitting on them, herself sitting on them, losing them, all sorts! I mean she was much younger; she doesn't go through nearly that many pairs now...

I don't how my pair has survived so long, Glasses Direct must make them out of sturdy stuff.
 
All this talk of glasses reminds me of a story I have... I once went into spec savers and bought a pair of frames, they were like “do you want us to fit lenses for you?” I was like “no”. They took it really funny. I laughed in their faces.
