When I was growing up I always had to wear eyeglasses, from around the age of 5 until I was about 18. I actually really liked wearing them – the day I used to go pick out a new pair was like a birthday to me.

I had an awesome dream that I won a contest and got a $5000 shopping spree, in my dream I could spend it any where I wanted and one of the many stores I chose was Matalan. I am sure that in my dream I spent closer to $50000 than $5000 though hehe.
