nou's, oops. Oh well. I guess I have an excuse to go back and rescue it.
My hair is becoming distinctly un-purple. I must change this soon. Registration is on Monday and going with my hair like this would be a bit of a let-down really.
Home and clean and wearing pinhole glasses. This has meant putting all my font sizes up to about 16pt, but it does make my head hurt less. My eyes get tired quickly this way but my head doesn't hurt. I think I'll be alternating between the pinhole glasses and the b0rked conventional specs. I need to find the bit in Windoze where I can make the cursor and mouse pointer bigger, I keep losing them.
Spoke to Specsavers on the phone. They said it sounds like a manufacturer's defect and they can replace the frames for me but they may have to send off for them. The earliest I can start this process is Tuesday, because they are shut Sunday and the technician doesn't come in on Mondays.
Unhappy. It's only Saturday. Things are going to be either blurry or hurty for the next three days at least and possibly longer. The only way around this is to spend a lot of money elsewhere to have an eye test, and even then I would still probably only get new glasses by Wednesday-ish even if I could get a walk-in appointment somewhere. I may as well wait.
I am so glad I have the pinhole glasses.
The lenses are scratched all to heck anyway, despite fairly careful treatment of them on my part (or at least no worse than I've treated any other glasses). Because of this, and because I think it is probably not a bad idea to keep a spare pair anyway, I'm thinking I'll buy a second, cheap pair of glasses from somewhere that is not Specsavers. Depending which I like better, I'll either wear the new glasses everyday and use the scratched old Specsavers ones as spares, or wear the Specsavers ones (I really like the frames I have in terms of shape) mostof the time and keep the new ones for spares, or just alternate the two every day-ish, perhaps depending on what I'm wearing.
Have any of you had experience with Glasses Direct? Are they rip-off merchants or genuine? I mean, it would be nice to try things on before buying them if I'm going to wear them every day, but I really don't want to pay a lot right now, and it's hard to argue with £15 for lenses and frames.
I suspect they might be a really good option for prescription sunglasses.
