After an accident/ incident , where middle small chip had his glasses broken (at home ,no one knows nothing, "i didn't do it"). It was imperative that his nibs gets some replacements ASAP.
Now we had started with 2 pairs , one pair having already vanished between a pub in Dorking ,and Auckland airport.
So when i took him to get some more..... blimey... i needed resuss
Childrens frames started at $215, and then you have to add at least $125 for lens. I dare not look at frames for either OH or myself!
So if you where glasses , i urge you to get at least 2 spare pairs , (you can't buy on get one free !!), because you too may need a paramedic.

Chips.
* The lady said that you get a reduction if your child is under 7 , ( course middle small chip is 8!)

Actually now i come to think of it , little chips got his glasses from vision express.
One pair was free, ( they were smart ,he looked hansome ), the spare pair were all of £20. They WERE robust and spring loaded arms ,until largest small chips got his puds on them.
