Furtive Little Feelings: Glasses Shopping Sucks!

Hey Guys

I think I have spoken to you before about my hate of going to the opticians for an eye test... Allow me to just shamelessly add the link in here:

Getting your eyes tested isn't actually the only traumatising thing about a visit to the opticians, you sometimes have to choose glasses too. Now to those of you who don't wear glasses you are probably wondering why I am writing a whole post dedicated to the horror of it. Well imagine you were only allowed one coat/ jumper/ pair of trousers or shoes for the next year or so, but you had to wear them on your face.

My lovely friend Ellie said she had to go and choose some new glasses and being the good friend I am i agreed to go and help. Ellie has been seen on this blog before, Anywhoo here she is again (on the left)

And again on the day we met Nicki Minaj.

Wine... oh wine.

So with no real system in mind we started having a browse through some glasses, and then some more, and then some more. After about forty minutes we realised that we now had lost our minds and had absolutely no idea which ones she had tried and which ones she hadn't. Pro tip for glasses shopping: For the love of god come up with a system. We carried on and about half an hour later were both now vowing to become glasses designers because all the glasses here were just not right!

Some were far too big like this:

Some were too small like this:

And some where just plain bizarre:

We eventually managed to find a decent pair of glasses. What's that I hear you cry? Well no I can't actually show you them. So in hindsight I should have saved this blog until I had permission to reveal the final choice, but I didn't so deal with it! I will get the lovely Ellie to send me a photo of her with the finished article for a follow up blog.

In other news I hope you all had a wonderful Halloween and Bonfire night! I certainly did, My lovely Mum can been seen in this photo with her birthday cake as made my me:
