You get what you pay for

Among all the rushing about, getting settled into the new abode, looking for a job and general sorting out I made haste to the optical 'supermarket' that messed up my glasses a couple of days back. Having had a real optician mark up the

offending lenses with the correct information as to how they should have been centered for my eyes prior to my visit and having played merry hell with them for a half hour, they had little option but to admit defeat and give me a full refund....though not with much grace or attempt at customer service I might add.

So all should be well wouldn't you think?

There is a down side though, isn't there always particularly in my current job-less state. To have the correct glasses made up, even with none of your designer frame malarkey, is going to cost me something in the region of £400!

I have a slightly odd problem with one eye, I already knew that, hence previously I always had to have expensive lenses but this time I was hoping to 'get away' with the cheap crappy version......it's not going to happen!

I knew it before I ever set off on this wild goose chase but I tried to kid myself.....you only ever get what you pay for.

Mebbe I'll just keep squinting at the fuzzy bits for now!
