so I have defiantly booked a dentist appointment. What could possibly go wrong?

Good luck Luckygirl and kitty. wink

Katek stepping in the cold water must have felt like the last straw. flowers

I'm going out for afternoon tea tomorrow - we're going at lunchtime! grin I bought it from Groupon and the restaurant is in a lovely shopping and craft village, so I'm looking forward to tomorrow.

A woman I worked with always took a day off on Friday 13th. She had a lot of quirks like that.

As I understand it the superstition arises from the fact that the 13th man at the last supper betrayed Jesus who was then crucified on the Friday before Passover. Why people feel worried about themselves on Friday 13th is a complete mystery to me after all if you are a believer then the fact that Jesus died on the cross for our sins that we might live is the most wonderful gift ever. smile

I too have a dental appointment tomorrow - plenty of choice for times as so many people are superstitious and refused appointments on that day/date. It was very fortunate as the crown I'm going in to have replaced actually dislodged itself on Monday night and I have a gaping hole where it was.

My mother did actually refuse to accept an urgent hospital appointment earlier in the year because it fell on Friday 13th. hmm

Good luck today , everyone! Especially Lucky.

I'm not superstitious at all really and my mammogram is just the routine one - I hope!

I'm slightly worries though as the cat seems to have gone missing! shock

Wishing luckygirl and kittylester* all the good fortune in the world, whether it's the 13th or not!

I hope for good news for both luckygirl and kitty and a safe day for everyone. I don't believe in it at all actually, good and bad things happen everyday to someone regardless of the date.

Good luck to everyone today. Sadly its pouring and blowing a gale here so I wont get that hole in one today. I shall have a laptop day and see if I can add things onto the local page which I have volunteered to host.

Alea Fri 13-Nov-15 11:03:13

kittylester Fri 13-Nov-15 12:52:29

Love whatever they are Alea. sunshine

I survived the mammogram which seemed less painful than previously. When I remarked on the this, the radiographer said that there was never any need for it to hurt. confused I knew the previous woman and didn't like her - seems the feeling was mutual. grin

My meeting was good shock

Hoping everyone else has got off lightly too. flowers

Ana Fri 13-Nov-15 12:59:03

I'm having my hair cut this afternoon - will reserve my judgement on the date until afterwards! grin

Fab photo Alea & glad everything went well kitty smile

I got to the hairdresser & back in one piece although the heating in the salon had conked out. DH is using the car today so by the time I'd got home (fifteen minute walk from the bus stop) I bore more than a passing resemblance to the abominable snowman!

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 13-Nov-15 14:16:53

I washed my hair and got it looking just so. Then went up town on bike and got soaked coming home. And the perishing wind kept blowing my hood off. hmm

Kitty don't forget our boobs get less dense (fat) as we get older, so they don't have to squidge 'em so hard.

kittylester Fri 13-Nov-15 14:38:27

Are you saying my boobs are fat jings? You'd be right!! grin

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 13-Nov-15 16:12:01

shock. No! I didn't mean that! grin
