New Glasses -What to do with the old ones?

[Rawns]

Collected my two new pairs of specks from Specsavers earlier today. My strength has changed so I'm not too sure what I should be doing with my old pairs. Suggestions?

Keep them as spares, preferably in your car. Will realise why when you eventually need to reach for them.

I do that anyway with my new second pair!

I keep them. I have an pair in the shed, which I use when I'm playing with the welder, a pair upstairs on my computer desk at home, a pair downstairs at home (I'm too lazy to carry the pair upstairs, downstairs), a pair in my desk at work (in case I leave my normal ones at home) and then the pair that I actually wear!

Actually, keeping a pair in work is not a bad shout.

We seem to pile all ours up in a corner of the kitchen till they all fall over and neither of us can remember whose are whose and which are the old ones and which newer......
