When your kid needs glasses

      My son has always had a bit of a lazy eye muscle in his right eye which, strangely enough, does not seem to bother him now as much as it did when he was smaller. No, I didn’t get it operated on - the doctor spelled out so many things that could wrong during the surgery that he frightened me right off the idea. 

When he was sixteen he did finally get a pair of glasses which he wore for about a month until he sat on the first pair, lost the second and didn’t bother going back for a third.  The price of those things! there are so many different types of frames these days but they are yet to come up with an un-loseable pair.

I never went in for the expensive one’s as there are now those budget options such as zennioptical.com where you can get a pair of prescription glasses for a very, very low price. This is a godsend to those parents especially who have several kids needing glasses. You don’t get a huge choice of style - but who cares when you can get a pair for just $8.00 !

Is credit becoming as hard to get as cash?

The United Kingdom has seen it’s fair share of economic hardships in the past but I wonder if the current situation rates as the worst ever? you’ve got people facing negative equity from vastly over-valued homes resulting from the housing boom, banks drastically cutting their mortgage lending and even more you have credit card providers slashing the credit limits on the cards of people who have been long term and reliable repayers.

As for ready cash…anyone remember what that is…? we have all become so reliant on credit that it is not so much the lack of a cash flow which makes things so hard, but the credit card companies pulling rug out from under account holders which is causing the popular rush on solutions such as payday loans. And it’s no wonder; one day you have a credit card with a decent and manageable limit of say, £5000 - you’re thinking ‘Ok, that’s enough to get us through till Xmas’, next thing you have a letter from the bank informing you they have slashed that limit from £5000 down to £1500 and you are pressing the panic buttons.

When you consider that these payday loans don’t carry an interest charge (should you pay the loan off before payday) it is logical that folk are going for these rather than feeding more money to the bank by way of doing cash advances on their already over-stretched credit cards.
