This is a BIG appreciation post 😍
Well, the final part of our (eventually) well oiled machine was put in place yesterday - we have all nice, new shiny computers with a new practice management system from our new pals at XEYEX and it’s already making a massive difference to the day to day running of our High St practice - they’ve thought of everything - every question we had - they had the answer to 😍
Very soon you’ll also be able to book your eye test direct from our website www.spexappeal.uk too (also thanks to XEYEX & our good pal Kev Park at KP Kreative), another step towards making your whole experience as easy as you need it to be - you’ll still be able to phone High St on the hoose phone - 01418898622 - WhatsApp (message only) on 07301344299 - email on highst@spexappeal.uk (no, that’s not a typo - it’s .uk not .co.uk 😁).
Failing that we are also considering building a wee doo hut out the back so you can book your appointments that way too 😂
The showroom at Abbeymill Business Centre Ltd is still open Tuesday-Saturday and operates the OG Spex Appeal way - you can get tested anywhere, bring your prescription to us and choose from 5 Luxury Brands - Prada, Tiffany, Persol, D&G & Prada Linea Rossa, 9 Designer & Lifestyle Brands - Ray-Ban, Oakley, Versace, Michael Kors, Emporio Armani, Polo Ralph Lauren, Vogue, Coach & Ralph by Ralph Lauren, Independent brands - Prue Leith, Outspoken Eyewear Holland, Enhance & Mint Magnetic & our budget conscious brands Visage, Planet + & Planet 🤓
The most important weapon in our armoury - the mobile appointment - is still available too, it got us here and we love it dearly 😁
Those of you who have been with us for a while will see the massive differences between now and when you joined us - from living rooms to car boot sales to the Spex Box in our back garden to (the wonderful) Abbey Mill Business Centre and now onto the High St in Paisley, it’s been a wild ride and we hope you’ll stick with us for a few years to come 😘

We are so happy you are based here, love having you as tenants.

Another Update -
We got a call from Sick Kids late last night to ask us to bring Alan in this morning at 7:30am.
We’ve spoke to a surgeon & he’s going down for general anaesthetic, having his thumb reset & a wire inserted to assist with the healing and will be in plaster for 4-6 weeks.
Due to this, Audrey will be going over to High St (which is open as normal) Lynn will be coming to join me at the hospital to wait for Alan to wake up and the showroom will be closed today - apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.
Both showroom & High St will be open tomorrow as normal 🤓 ... See MoreSee Less

This is Alan’s best pal - Lennon - they’ve been besties since P1, Lennon is the only person that can come into our house without chapping the door and shouts “It’s just me” 😂
He’s one of the nicest, funniest young men we’ve ever had the pleasure to meet..
And now we add Thoughtful to that list - On Saturday Lennon braved the big chop!
He made the decision to donate his luscious locks to the Little Princess Trust - a charity that provides real hair wigs to children who have lost their own hair due to the horrible effects of cancer treatment, or to other medical conditions.
The Little Princess trust rely solely on donations - we made a donation last night and wondered if you’d like to donate too ?
Whether it’s £10 or 10p it’s appreciated - and if you can’t donate a wee “Well Done”’for Lennon would be great too 😁

Thank you for sharing, we hope its going to be a great market.
We met 17 years ago today (this pic was taken that week) - nothing’s changed - apart from the fact that we’re married, have 2 weans (well, she’s got 3 😂), we’re now very tired & I don’t have a single dark hair left on my head - ok, nothing much has changed 😂
I’m sure she’d hate being named after a Tina Turner song, especially THAT Tina Turner song, but, she is Simply the Best 😍 ... See MoreSee Less
