A safe way to watch (I've done this) is as follows: You need a pair of binoculars and a piece of white card. Sit with your back to the sun. Hold the binoculars the 'wrong way' round, with the large lens pointing back, over your shoulder, towards the sun. You can now focus the sun's disc on your card, and you can watch the moon creeping over the sun on the card.

I haven't got any glasses either, sure there were loads about back in 1999 for the last full eclipse.
I heard you can't watch it via a camera screen/phone camera but can't work out why this could damage your eyes unless you are literally looking straight at it but with the screen in front which won't block it out, would it work if not looking towards the sun directly? I'm starting to see the problem with this though haha!
Am waiting on a medication delivery and a boilerman coming and hoping they don't appear around that time so I miss it.
