He didn't live to see me reach that stage... and beyond. After resolving the arm-length issue with magnifiers. Then came the angle issue. Finally could twist and tilt the page enough to read it. Prescription! Then came bi-focals! And then tri-focals! Reading, computer, distance. You have so much to look forward to.

But when she needs a signature to deliver a parcel never knocks, just puts that annoying card in the box making out I'm not in. And by the time I find it it's too late to collect until the next day. Which is really upsetting when you children are waiting for a present from someone. No xmas tip I think.<br />Rosezeeta.primrosesattichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10413782888139380761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-19132490431194505522013-10-01T21:15:26.135+00:002013-10-01T21:15:26.135+00:00Not in prestatyn andrew!Not in prestatyn andrew!John Going Gentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14958171262765033946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-73157123973958266412013-10-01T21:12:03.312+00:002013-10-01T21:12:03.312+00:00Don't you feel like you are the first person t...Don't you feel like you are the first person that officialdom has ever had to deal with and they are writing the instruction manual as they deal with your problem.<br /><br />Do you call them pound shops?
