I'd put my glasses down on a nail-polish remover wipe and it's taken all the bronze-coloured finish off the frames. They look such a mess but I'm going to have to wear them until I can get some more. The insurance people can't tell me if my policy covers my specs because it's bank holiday, and although I am in a cash-back scheme (BHSF) I'm not entitled to claim through them because I had new glasses last year and it's a two-yearly entitlement. Bugger and damnation.
UPDATE: Well, today I picked up TWO new pairs from Tesco (hurrah for BOGOF). One pair is VERY similar to my lovely but wrecked specs and the other pair is a bit plainer and a bit chunkier. I also received an email from my insurance company confirming that they ARE covered by my policy, so I'll get my money back. Thanks for being sympathetic last week when I felt rubbish about it xx
