The blue ones got an immediate thumbs down, and I have to say that since I wasn't quite so pale today and was wearing a different colour top, they did look all wrong. Nice shape, wrong colour. It was actually something like indigo, somewhere between blue and purple and it just didn't look right.<br />It came down to a dark purple/pink pair not too different in shape from my current glasses and a dark brown/nearly black pair that are a different shape, a little bit bigger, more similar to the blue ones. I've gone with the brown/black ones as I really did prefer the shape and although the colour of the others wasn't too bad, it also wasn't really me. They were, obviously, the ones available at the so-called "Nulltarif" (i.e. free, you just pay for any extras like non-reflective surface on the lenses etc.) but the ones I got were only 40 euro, which isn't too bad. I did pay the 10 euro for the Nulltarif insurance, which means I got a total 15 euro discount, too. So, 40 for the frames, 10 for the insurance (which also insures another change in prescription above a certain level), and 65 for the lenses, less the 15 discount. Not too bad at all considering if I'd gone to a small, independent opticians rather than the big chain, I could have expected to pay upward of 600. Nice to have it done now.Moonwaveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16018956740090192993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942522681264332044.post-47264265738357922702013-10-01T13:48:17.207+01:002013-10-01T13:48:17.207+01:00I am on the path to bifocals as well.

I've resorted to trying to copy celeb photos that have similar shaped faces and complexions!<br /><br />The BBQ marinade sounds delicious. I think you should definitely ring your sister - I'll have to try that strategy as well!Fionahttp://www.declutterer.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942522681264332044.post-13070038419695592522013-09-30T11:34:21.268+01:002013-09-30T11:34:21.268+01:00I almost wish I needed glasses, they often seem so...I almost wish I needed glasses, they often seem so stylish and fashionable. I'm sure I'd get over them though! <br /><br />I'm the same - I only used to be able to clean my dorm room with company. Ring your sister, I don't think either of you will regret it, and you'll have straightened out some things.SarahN @ livetolisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01429385342825413879noreply@blogger.com
