Where are you getting your glasses and how much did you pay?
Have to go buy a pair on Tuesday and really not looking forward to being ripped off. I usually buy online but I just don't have the time to wait nearly a month for them to arrive because these ones are broken and are being held together by sheer willpower at this stage. I'll need to factor in the price of high index thin lenses too because I'm blind
Specsavers in Blanch. I went to the tesco optician's in Naas a year and a half ago and they were cheap as chips but they didn't work out. Prescription wasn't right, I'm sure of it!
Two sets of designer frames, antiglare coating on one pair and eye test worked out as €204 all in. Glasses are 2 for the price of 1 in Specsavers all the time anyway! My mum got varifocals and needed the lenses thinned out and that cost €60 per pair, so I don't know if that is the same thing as you need but that's the cost!0 -

Don't go to Specsavers, at least, not the one in Santy's Omni Park Shopping Centre. They tested my mother TWICE and both times they missed her macular degeneration. They gave her the wrong prescription and she was straining her eyes with glasses normally suited to a 90 year old before she went to the family opticians and got diagnosed with the eye trouble.
Wouldn't trust Specsavers if you paid me.
Also: Rick Gennest (aka Zombie Boy) is strangely attractive. I normally can't stand facial tattoos unless they're Maori tribal markings but even then I'm not mad about them yet I can't stop staring at this guy. Mark me down as confused and horny!
EDIT: +1 on the fact that I might be looking at a full calf tat. I agree with the above posters when they say I'll need to go big to get all the detail in. No worries on that. My long term goal regarding tattoos is, at the very least, to get one a year. Might as well go the whole hog and get my whole calf done.
Never liked my legs anyways so it would be nice to decorate them with something pretty.

Make sure you put the money you are saving from not smoking into a change jar. Otherwise you'll never see the saving as it's getting swallowed up by something else. It'll be incentive enough to stay off them after the first week or so.
Well done 0 -

I think Rick Gennest is amazing!! Something very attractive about him! I've seen that Derma Blend make up video alright, very cool!!
Update on the glasses, they are fantastic! I am baffled as to how I got around with the last pair! They accidentally put the anti-glare coating on both, which is woohoo! I really noticed the benefit when driving home afterwards, the glares from lights were at least 5x smaller! Fascinating!
I also bought new storage boxes for under my bed, so that's what I spent my evening doing. I am so exciting!0 -

Today I am mostly lightening my hair. Back on the proper food buzz, and then decided to pay a visit to Superquinn where I nearly had heart failure trying to avoid all the cakes at the door
Gonna make oat pancakes etc so that I'll have something nice to eat when I'm peckish.0 -

Good on ya! I'm finding it a bit hard as there's about 20 bottles of Miller left over from Christmas still left in the vegetable drawer of the fridge and it's tempting me.I've been off it since August myself too. Not saying it's gonna be a forever thing, but for now, I have no desire to drink.
I COULD get rid of them but my folks don't like to waste things.
On the plus side, we're having ribs tonight. Been dying for them for ages! Home cooked with loads of Hunt's BBQ sauce. Not exactly diet friendly but all I had to eat today was a mini baked potato so I'm treating myself tonight. 0 -

I've considered giving it up more than once in the past year but the social pressure to keep it up keeps stopping me. Also the idea of sitting in a pub completely sober while everyone else is drunk is not a nice one. I have friends I meet for coffee and the like regularly but there's some who seem to think you can't have fun without a drink. Also I'm a student so class nights usually involve drinking too. I guess I just need to care less what people think but just the idea of dealing with 'Ah just have one, I'll buy it for. Ah go on, one won't kill ya...' gives me headache.
I very rarely have a drink. I had one class night out when I drank, that was it. Himself doesn't drink at all. It's strange being the only sober one, I'll admit, but if you don't want to drink just don't! Save an absolute fortune and there's no stress! I can still have just as good a night out with drink or no drink! If you don't want alcohol and people are saying ah sure I'll buy you one, just ask for a 7up!Total glasses stalker kellief... they're lovely!
I wish someone would do delivery on baked potato's... I'd love one now with loads of melted cheese and sour cream and chives... nom nom nom... but I've no chives or sour cream in the house atm...
Thanks!! I put up the other pair there too. awful at taking selfies!!
Dancing around my room to the most awful pop song but I can't stop singing it. That and the song Let it Go from frozen, it's so good! I worry about myself...0 -

Wow. How long did it take you to save up €700? :eek:raze_them_all_ wrote: »Not drinking saves some money, Didn't save any money for my ink, havent drank over christmas, going in with 700e
Currently trying to do a simple transference of funds from PTSB to my Post Office account but my local post office are being extremely unhelpful. I was told by a very lovely bank manager that all I needed was something called an IBAN number and a BIC number to open up a standing order/direct debit but when I told the girl in the post office, she had no idea what I was talking about.
I might go into the post office in the Pavillions and see if they can help.
All I want to do is save €20 a week-it surely shouldn't be this feckin' difficult! :mad:0
