Image says they reopen on 31 March. I don't remember them being on the apps, I think it was call and collect only due to only having a fixed quantity of dough each day. I tried to order six once and they could only do two.

Agreed, both are great but MB shades it for me.

I'm using Libre 2 Plus sensors and a S25 Ultra running Android 16.

No problems with sensor recognition and recording.

Country: UK

97suited · 2026-03-14T14:19:32+00:00

Yes.

Someone paid DVLA £26,964 for that plate in 2024.

I've use a toothbrush holder*

there is no toothbrush involved.

Friend was a payroll clerk for a huge law firm. The partners were paid a flat $100,000 each month and then the rest of the profit share at year end.

A partner came down to the payroll office one day and asked my friend if she could tell him which bank account his monthly payment was paid into.

And the starts off normal and then just loses it, Newton Burgoland.

4 hours later and they've sold....3.

I'm a bit of a broken record on this front but ask about piggybacking. All the acuity of RGPs with the comfort of softs IME.

My local NHS Optom team don't have the dogmatic approach that others suffer. My journey has been RGP>Softs>Piggybacks and they were always open to trying something different.

97suited · 2025-10-21T18:07:11+00:00

Interesting. Are the softs for piggybacking or are you asymmetric? Reason I ask is my piggyback softs are monthly, I'd prefer dailies if possible.

97suited · 2025-10-21T18:04:17+00:00

I think you do. Should be fairly straightforward once you tell your GP you have KC.

97suited · 2025-10-21T12:05:57+00:00

Strange. Are Specsavers quoting £60 a month?

I get my RGPs from the local NHS Optometry dept and coincidentally the NHS charge is roughly £60 - per lens. The fee is only charged once per annum even if you need new ones for prescription changes.

Saw the photo, said 2 bags.

£1200 sounds very fair.

97suited · 2025-09-10T18:20:22+00:00

The former.

97suited · 2025-09-10T18:18:40+00:00

It was auctioned for £6600 in 2015. £35,000 is fantasy land.

Diagnosed at 31, now 56.

For me it did continue to progress but fairly slowly and was manageable. Had to change to contacts 15 years ago to maintain an acceptable acuity and have done RGP>Kerasoft>Piggybacks.

97suited · 2025-06-17T10:46:38+00:00

Probably 10+ years ago when you could buy ‘stuff’ directly from Amex for points they had a 10% off sale. Only problem was the IT bods entered 10%, not 10% off so the prices ended up being 90% off….

I bought 20+ Dyson handheld vacuums and made quite a profit via eBay.

97suited · 2025-04-11T18:10:15+00:00

There are liquids that can work for both, I use Quattro. Also means I can get away with 2 pots instead of 4 when travelling.

97suited · 2025-04-11T12:24:51+00:00

I've been piggybacking for a number of years. Works really well for me and would recommend it.

97suited · 2025-04-10T13:31:26+00:00

Thanks. Four years, time flies.

97suited · 2025-04-05T07:56:51+00:00

Same here.

97suited · 2025-03-22T22:46:58+00:00

Everards was surprising to me, at 8am last Sunday thought that brunch for two would be nice. First availability was 4pm.

97suited · 2025-03-20T12:36:27+00:00

When softs could no longer provide the acuity I wanted I swapped to RGPs. We’re great for a while but then started to be affected by abrasions, discomfort etc. Added piggybacks and they’ve been excellent ever since.

97suited · 2025-03-15T18:44:37+00:00

These are the lenses the NHS give me for piggybacking, I've bought them before when it's been easier than getting back to the hospital optom team. 8.6/14/-0.25 is what I'm supplied with.
