Good result

[tonicha]

My "old" glasses frame was never a good fit and the bottom part of the frame was getting very rough (cheap rubbish ) so we headed back to the opticians and I now have the same frame, but in brown and they fit perfectly Cost me 30 euros and I got 7.50 discount at the local supermarket too

That young lady in the opticians is such a lovely, helpful young girl, think I might have to write in and compliment her to her bosses.

Also bought 3 t-shirts for me, 2 for himself in C & A and 18 books in the charity shop for 2.80

Didn't get the door screen I wanted - I'm not paying almost 30 euros for one, just have to keep to door shut and the flies and mozzies out.

But I also have two very sore heels, from my new shoes I'll stick to flip-flops from now on

That's a good result - yay

Re the door screen, do you get these extending / spring loaded curtain rails over your neck of the woods? If yes - depending on your sewing skills (and it wouldn't need much) you could get one of those to fit the door frame, buy a piece of pretty light airy fabric that's long enough to cover the entire door and then add some heavy beads into a bottom hem to keep it from blowing about to much?

Not sure how cost effective that would be though compared to an already made screen?

I was going to suggest something similar but using curtain netting - maybe two overlapping drapes where they meet in the middle.

No, can0t get them - and my sewing skills are about sewing a button on

We're off to Olhao tomorrow - this car needs to be used and we'll pop into one of the erm, what is it called in English drogaria's on the way. It's brill, has all sorts of stuff charcoal, bits for cars, netting, playing cards, plants, wood - oh cor belimey, I've been here far too long, I really cannot think of the English word
