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

Beautiful children Alea what joys.

Oh! So sweet, all of them. I've got a little gingernut too. Love him to bits! smile

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.

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.

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

kittylester Fri 13-Nov-15 07:49:56

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

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

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

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.

Scraping car? All in the day's work for me - it doesn't need to be Friday 13th. blush

Bellanonna Thu 12-Nov-15 22:37:04

Oh, katek. That's awful

Katek Thu 12-Nov-15 22:24:46

My bad luck came a day early-managed to scrape both car doors and take chunk out of alloy wheel trying to negotiate dd1's very tight driveway in howling wind and rain. I also got my feet absolutely soaked as drain in the middle of the drive had overflowed and I didn't see it in the dark. Ankle deep in freezing water with dgd shouting 'I'll be late for Cubs!' Had to drive home with bare feet. NOT a happy bunny.

My brother and I where born on Friday 13th mum always said it was the luckiest day of her life.bless her.

JoyBloggs Thu 12-Nov-15 21:04:16

Tomorrow I'm visiting the Tower of London - hope my head remains attached to my body...

annodomini Thu 12-Nov-15 19:37:16

It's just a date, but should I see a ladder across my path, I shall go round it - just in case someone drops a roof tile on my head, of course.

granjura Thu 12-Nov-15 19:08:58

doesn't bother me one little bit, I have to say ...

hildajenniJ Thu 12-Nov-15 18:54:11

It's Friday the 13th tomorrow... so!

ninathenana Thu 12-Nov-15 17:34:28

It's a lucky day for me. DH was born on Friday 13th and I landed my dream job on Friday 13th way back in '78.
Good luck Luckgirl and kitty

Alea Thu 12-Nov-15 17:28:17

And it's our GORGEOUS red haired DGS's FOURTH birthday!!
Happy Birthday, little man, can't wait to see you on Sunday !!

(Keep "defiant", petitpois, it's the only way to be) grin

seacliff Thu 12-Nov-15 17:22:35

I too have a hair appointment, and also a lovely black cat!

kittylester Thu 12-Nov-15 17:19:03

Oh, and I do have a black cat so I will be especially nice to him in the morning for all of us!

kittylester Thu 12-Nov-15 17:18:03

Good luck luckygirl, keep us posted. sunshine

I think we should all hold virtual hands all day including baubles. grin

I have a bit of an awkward meeting, if I survive my mammogram grin, with the lady who 'runs' our village and is on the library committee. Micro managing doesn't come into it!
