Mine Eyes !!

I've been back to the opticians today, Specsavers actually,they are such nice people.

Having practised at home for 5 days (what a laugh that was), I was back for 'The Verdict'

I feel like the Mum in the telly ad.

Well that got off to a dodgy start because I read the time wrong on the card,(it's so small) the 2 looked like a 3 to me, so I was nearly an hour late. But no matter, they were really sweet and saw me straight away even though they were fully booked. I felt a bit guilty about that.

Anyway I did it the chin - shelf and boobs thing AGAIN, look up, down, round the back etc. -- Orange Eye Drops coming up. By this time I can't breathe let alone see!

' Have you brought your glasses?'

' Yes'

'Oh good you can take them out'

So I rummage, watery eyed, in my bag and hand him the said specs (reasonable?)

' Have you taken them out?'

' I gave them to you ----------------- what?'

' Have you taken your lenses out?'

Well of course I haven't, what does he think I am, a magician?!!

' What without a mirror?'

' There's one in front of you'

Oh God now he thinks I'm a total LUNATIC, it's about 2 inches from my nose

I try but no luck, and now I'm starting that idiot laugh

' Sit down and I'll do it for you'

It's like school, and now I'm having an hysterical laughing fit

So I tell him I need a stronger reading lens

He puts the BIG BLACK SPECS on me

'Oh yes thats much better'

'I haven't put the lenses in yet'

Oh God!

He writes notes about stronger lenses and asks if I want the Easycare Scheme, do I , I don't know

'Yes you do'

'Why'

Triumphantly he says, 'Because we post them to you so you won't have to remember to collect them'

'OK'

Oh God, I don't feel like the telly Mum now, and I've got ORANGE EYES !!!
