Hello everybody :D
Ok, so I had to go to the optician today, because my contact lenses have run out, and I can't afford to pay for another three months supply of contact lenses right now, pfffft etc.
my glasses got broke a while back, god knows what happened to the spare pair, house probably ate it along with one sock from every pair i ever buy my son :suspect: So today I had to choose some lovely Nhs glasses, the kind man in the shop squeezed me in for an appointment, I think he thought I was giving him the glad eye but really I couldn't see feck all :hugesmile:
anyone I got some nice purply ones, quite pretty, but I hate being a speccy, I just look like my mum (I love my mum, but I don't want to look like a pensioner :bawling:) BUT THEY WON'T BE READY TILL FRIDAY, POSSIBLY THURSDAY BUT UNLIKELY.
So if you live in St Helens, and I do mean you Scott!, then if you see a dark haired woman stumbling around, it might be me. :blush:
Anyone thinking of visiting St Helens, don't bother, it's crap!
Oh and I am currently in the library with the screen right up to my face, getting regular funny looks of the librarian lady, yes...can I help you, no I cannnot see.... arghhhh.

Go to a differenty opticians and ask for a trial of their contact lenses. You will get a months worth and only have to pay for the solution ;)
You can do this once a year with each different branch. So you could technically just get free trials over and over until you can afford to buy more.
I did this when I went on holiday :joker:

Then again i dunno how many opticians are around where you live. Within about 10 miles of my house theres at least 20
My sister buys her contacts online at a fraction of the cost :)

Haha! you are sooo like me I'm always losing my contacts and breaking my glasses :)
I always put the big sad eyes on and they give me enough pairs of lenses from stock to tide me over untill they come in :D

You should get the Lasik surgery. it's cheaper in the long run. I want it.
Do they cover Lasik under the NHS?

No, sadly, i would have it done if they did. It's something like a grand per eye I think, very expensive. Do you wear lenses or galsses Alex?

Contacts in public, glasses at home. I really want the surgery though. Even though it is a few grand, i still think that it pays for it self over time. I'm saving up.
If you add up the cost of all the optometrist appointments (in the US you have to get one every year) and the cost of contacts, and the cost of glasses, the surgery is soooo much cheaper. but it's hard to save up that much money.
