Ah, Andysmum, how do they know??????

I've lived in places where it's unlucky for a black cat to cross your path, and places where it's lucky.

One place where I know it's bl**dy dangerous for a cat to cross your path is on the stairs :-S

There are lots of high-rise buildings without a 13th floor. Sorry, that sounds daft. :-S

I mean there is no floor numbered 13, because people refused to live/work on the 13th floor. Quite how giving it another number makes any difference, I don't know, but apparently it works!

Start at Chapter 13 & read backwards.

Just an idle thought worth zilch.

Dear me.!

I've never even heard of these superstitions other than walking under ladders, so goodness only knows what might happen here then..........

I hope you didn't push the chair back under the table when you got up because that means you won't be coming back.

Ouch! In other circumstances we might say 'take more water with it' ;-)
Is there anyway you can move the furniture so the gap isn't so narrow?

But maybe I should be. I don’t walk under ladder only because something might fall off and hit me on the head, I never stop on Chapter 13 well……… just because I never do. Now I know why, its bad luck. I don’t know how many times I have kicked the living room table leg and nothing happened ( there is a narrow space between the table and the otterman). I stop on Chapter 13, later I walk across the room and kick the leg and drop to the floor in pain. From the symptoms I read on line I sprained my toe, My foot is blue and puffy and I can’t wear my shoe so I go out with one shoe and one slipper.

I swear I will never stop on Chapter 13 ever again, so help me
