Well he did! We weren't doing anything in particular this morning, so Vin decided he would go and have a look at glasses at Specsavers in Formby. We are both in Medicash which is a wonderful thing to be in, and you can get an allowance of £80 for glasses each year. This runs out at the end of march so he wanted to use his up.So, on the spur of the moment he took himself off to their shop. he had spotted some in their magazine for £25..cheapskate..but when he got there he found that the lenses would be on top of that, making them a lot more expensive since he has varifocals. The lad showed him a couple of pairs, then said he had some in the back of the shop and came back with a pair he really liked. What is more, they were a discontinued line and should have been £99 ! but the lad said he could have them for the £80...So with the additions, they would have come to another £49..
Vin is well pleased as they say here!. he does love a bargain!
he was back in record time, and the glasses will be ready in a weekk.
I had a ver exciting morning too. I did the brasses at the fronmt of the house. Been meaning to do those for ages. So he filled out his Meddicash form, trotted along to the Post Office, and no doubt he will have the money in his bank account before he gets the glasses.
I ordered the DVD of Call The Midwife from Amazon..for Ann for her birthday in May, £11.99 free P&P..so that's her sorted. I'm sure they will like that one, it was such a lovely series.
Tonight we are having:
Pasta Bake with mushrooms and tomato and mascarpone sauce,
A bit of garlic bread,
Somr green vegetables.
