20 pairs of reading Glasses


 I’ve spring cleaned my bedroom and the bathroom. 
It’s taken  me the entire day
20 pairs of reading glasses have been found tucked into corners, gathering dust under the bed and lying under the mountain of clothes, heaped in the corner like a mound of elephant dung.
I’ve also washed two dozen old T shirts which now fit me
Weigh in was this morning, I’ve lost another 6 lbs!!!
I’m buggered

  3. I'm knackered just reading about all you've achieved. 20 pairs of glasses, you kleptomaniac! You need a dedicated glasses drawer, so you know where to look, or where to return them when you find an errant pair. I'm at the stage where, unless I'm asleep, mine are on my nose. Otherwise, everything is a blur.
    Another 6 pounds, well done! Don't turn sideways, we won't be able to see you! You must be well chuffed. xx

  5. Good for you with the weight loss and lower sugar. Does this mean you may not need insulin after all.

    And 20 pairs of glasses, hahaha. Plus all those shirts. You are def all set for spring and prob the rest of the year.
    Your journey and determination makes me so proud and inspired. Good work, John!

    I'm with the idea for a dedicated drawer for glasses or a box for the glasses if all of the drawers are used for other things.
    Well done on the weight loss and all of formerly love tees that once again fit you! How many "new" shirts are TWD shirts? How sweet is that?!

    Hugs!

      Would one of the walking dead shirts happen to be one I sent from Georgia USA?

  10. Well done on those 6 pounds. That’s a lot of potatoes you’re no longer carrying around. I had a “collection” of old eye glasses, too.

  11. Well done!!! Sounds like a winner of a day even if you are knackered this evening. 😊
    Hugs to you and head scratches for Mary, Roger, Bun & Weaver.

  14. Yay for the weight loss! That's great news. I can't believe you have 20 pairs of reading glasses. :)

  15. Wow! You almost inspire me to get back onto my weight loss effort and to clean up some of my piles of fabric. Probably won't but it is wonderful to hear your success story.

  16. Reduce plastic waste! Save The Planet! Own only one pair of reading glasses! What the hell do you need so many for anyway?

  17. You've had a very productive day. All is good.
    The weight loss is tremendous and just in time for Spring.

  18. Well done John, you'll look like a new man. You'd better find some old smaller trousers too or go shopping before you get arrested. 😂 Mind you, you could use braces.😄

  22. I'm guessing those aren't prescription glasses.

  23. I keep all my old glasses in a big jar. Why do I keep them? I have absolutely no idea!

  24. That is an awful lot of glasses. Well done on the weight loss.

  25. Just did a rough check on how many pairs of reading glasses I have got scattered around the house and in handbags.......at least 13 and probably some I couldn't think of. They are mainly from Poundland...£1 each ....and I like to have specs within arms reach wherever I am!!
    Good for you on the continuing weight loss.

  26. One of the best life tips I ever had, when I started needing glasses for reading. My colleague advised me to buy lots of cheap "readers" and leave them all over the house so I wouldn't waste time looking for that "one pair" x

    ReplyDelete
  27. Twenty pairs!! Gosh I thought I was extravagant with four pairs, one in each room and a pair in my bag. :-)

    Well done on the continuing weight loss. xx

  28. Not as bad but I recently discovered I had eight rolls of scotch tape in a drawer. Eight. I think I'm set for life.

  29. We've a drawer devoted to reading glasses but it doesn't stop my partner from inquiring "where did my glasses go?" to which I reply, "did they grow legs?" which he does not appreciate. Old married couple.

    Great job on the weight loss! Now you need to tell the rest of us poor struggling slobs how to do it. Seriously. Be specific. Please!

  31. Good for you on the weight loss! It seems to have manifested itself in a flurry of activity! I'm losing steadily (but slowly). LOL at the reading glasses. Honestly. I had the same issue. I lost them at an amazing rate. When I bought them, I bought them a half dozen pairs at a time.
