I may need to go into Poundland soon for a laugh browse 

I'll take my reading glasses next time....while I peruse the batteries section😂

They never last as long in poundland....nothing worse than a flat battery.........

True....I may have to bulk buy😂

only wear glasses for driving

I need them to read and found it was much easier to have varifocals... I can drive without and often have them in top of my head when I'm driving at night because of the glare 

opposite can read without them but need to wear them to drive -  have driven without in the day but wouldn't at night -

Me too...all modern isn't cosy to me, but Mr KT likes minimalist, don't know why because he's a messy beggar

I like minimalist, I hate ornaments, cushions and clutter 

Any house, any era, MUST have running water hot and cold , a flushing loo............... and in my dreams a maid..........
