It hasn't taken long for it to strike. I fell asleep on the sofa just after midnight and woke up about half an hour later. My brand new glasses which I had had in my possession for just over 8 hours (£279 if you want to know) had gone AWOL from my face. I found I had been laid on them and they are now mangled grrr
Did you use a credit card, if so you can claim, even on a debit card too but it's more difficult. Friday 13th soundsounds to be another reason, with the weather, to stay under the duvet with Ian Rankin, metaphorically speaking.
zebo, no, I didn't pay by credit card.
One of the Junior Overalls once broke a pair of his/her brand new specs. I went to the opticians, made a full and frank confession, and I expected to be charged for a replacement pair. To my surprise they said they would write them off as a manufacturing fault and supply a free replacement pair.
I don't know if a chain opticians would do this - I use a local opticians as I am a great believer in supporting local businesses
MrsO - All three of my kids wore glasses and I was forever in SpecSavers getting them fixed. They never charged me. The NHS used to allow 3 pairs a year for young children but again, I was never charged if they went over that.
It's very hard to explain to a child under two to not leave their glasses on the floor.
Right, I am off for now. I have just had a whiff of bacon so I shall head for the kitchen to investigate, I am sure Youngest Junior O won't mind making me a BLT
