Victoria (Martin) McLeish

Sadly after a long and unfortunately never winnable illness, Victoria the founder of McLeish Optometrists has passed away.

We will miss her every day – I was married to Vicky for only 22 years – though we together for 28.

She will be missed by many family members and friends, including the staff here – Neasa did not know Vicky before coming to work for us, but that was over 11 years ago. Sandra was Victoria’s friend for a long time before she came to work for us.

I guess that we will have a few days being closed, and perhaps a few more days of no testing, but after that, and more than ever, please do not be a stranger – no business will survive if no-one wants to call in because they may feel awkward.

We have all known about Vicky’s diagnosis since 2007, and we all knew that one day, it could take her away from us.

Please just give us a few days to get back to “normal”, and then do not hesitate to call us or call in.

Victoria Louise (Martin) McLeish 06/09/1971 – 25/07/2019

Thursday 4th July – early closing on our “late night”

We usually have a late night on Thursdays – open until 8.30 pm, usually.

Due to a conflict of appointments elsewhere, obligations elsewhere and staff holidays we have no-one who can be here tonight to man the fort.

Apologies for the inconvenience, but for tonight only, we will be gone at 3.30pm. Was intended to be 5.30, but another change of plans.

Hopefully this will not be a regular happening, it is the first one since we started the late nights over 2 years ago, but tonight there is no other option.

Again, sorry for the inconvenience,

Ian

Christmas Bauble

Merry Christmas

A Christmas TreeWishing all our clients and friends a Very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!

Have a great time,
From Ian, Neasa, Sandra and Victoria.

(The fire is lit, but with teenagers in the house, it my be a while longer until Christmas actually starts here – ?Maybe they will be awake by 1pm?)

Christmas Opening Hours.

Christmas Time, again.

WooHoo!

As usual we are going to be closed between Christmas and New Year, our excuse being that we can get no deliveries until the New Year. Though that is actually true!

This is the only time I am personally guaranteed to get some time off, and that time at home is very precious, particularly this year.

We will be having a staff Christmas meal on Friday 21st in the afternoon, so we will be closing at 1pm, or perhaps shortly after? on that Friday, and we will be gone until January 3rd.

(Scottish people are genetically unable to work on January 2nd).

We may see you in the Bailie Hotel on Friday afternoon, but after that we will see you in 2019.

Wishing everyone a Very Merry Christmas, or Happy Holidays to be more politically correct?

Ho Ho Ho!

Happy Holidays from Ian, Neasa , Sandra and Victoria.

(once again, in alphabetical order!)

 

Many thanks to all of our clients – no business is anything without you, after all!

We wish you all a happy and healthy Christmas, and  onwards to year 2019 and beyond!

Ian.

Please, please remember to NOT sleep in your contact lenses-  it may have been a great night out, but your next day or two in hospital may not be so great? It is not worth it – for more information in case of an emergency, please click this link.

 

Did anyone order contacts??

I took a call about three weeks ago from a lady who wanted to order contact lenses and solutions for her son.

I was certain that I knew who she was, and that it was her son’s name I wrote down, but when we called her to advise that the lenses were here, she asked Sandra if it had been her son who ordered them, as she had not!

At the time I thought I knew who I was talking to, but obviously I was wrong, and I ordered contact lenses for the wrong person.

We have thought through every son with initials D. C. Just in case I wrote down the wrong name, but in my mind I was sure I knew who I was talking to.

If you ordered lenses for your husband, partner or son on 28th November and you have not heard from us, please get in touch.

Completely our (my) fault.
