The Golden Ticket.

I started wearing glasses when I was four, when I started school. I hated them!

I remembered when my Mum took us to a new Church when I was 14 and there was a lovely lad there, he didn’t know that I had my eyes on him….., not four eyes, but two, I decided not to wear my glasses to Church. But eventually I had to start wearing them there.

When I was about 19, I decided to accept my glasses, as they got nicer, I remember having silver-coloured frames. I love silver, and gray and when I was 19 for one whole year, I wore one colour only and that was gray with silver jewellery. I only stopped wearing gray, as my Mum begged me to wear different colours. Today gray and silver, they are both my favourite colours in clothes and jewellery.

Last month I had my eyes tested, I had two pairs, one of them is a prescribed sun-glasses. The sun-glasses came in very handy for the lots of sun that we have had here in England.

When I finished paying for them, I was given a Golden Ticket. I was informed, “You can use it for yourself and get 50% off or give it so someone else and they can get 25% off.” I thought, I would not need it, and meant to throw it away.

But, as I was mainly wearing my fabulous, trendy sun-glasses, in the process I lost my normal new glasses. I had planned to take them back, as they were hurting behind my ears. I have looked everywhere for them. Last Sunday, I had to wear my sun-glasses to church and then to work afterwards, I felt very self-conscious, at Church, like I was hiding a black eye! And I never wear sun-glasses indoors, only celebs to that.

So today, I rang the opticians and said, “I had my eyes tested recently and now I have lost my new glasses, can I use my Golden Ticket to get another one, at half price?” She replied, “Yes.”

My appointment is Monday. When I told Paul he said, “You will find them on Tuesday.”
