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

kittylester Thu 12-Nov-15 15:34:56

Well I've got a mammogram! Eeek!,

jinglbellsfrocks Thu 12-Nov-15 15:36:04

I was just thinking about that! Wondering whether to actually go out at all. But as I have been cooped up indoors today, watching Xmas puds boiling, I shall throw caution to the four winds and go anyway.

Good luck with the dentist.

jinglbellsfrocks Thu 12-Nov-15 15:38:12

Oh - don't worry kitty. It will soon come and soon be over with. You will be fine. Never exactly enjoyable though.

And that is the day I have to travel an hour or so to go and see a neurologist about the results of my brain scan - what a day to pick!

MiniMouse Thu 12-Nov-15 15:49:11

I wonder how many people, if any, do cancel or postpone appointments?

Rub your heads on a black cat before you go anywhere, and good luck will follow you ( as well as a quantity of fur on your hair and a flea or two.) grin

I've a hair appointment and not a superstitious bone in my body so there will be no cancelling, not from my end anyway. smile

Well not unless this gale force wind fells a tree and blocks my path! grin

jinglbellsfrocks Thu 12-Nov-15 16:17:04

Aww lg. It will be fine. An hour is a right bugger bummer any day though. hmm

Luckygirl Thu 12-Nov-15 16:55:09

It's not the travelling - it's the significance of the results of the scan that I would rather not discuss on Friday 13th!

ginny Thu 12-Nov-15 16:57:43

It's just another day. Results, good or bad things will not happen just because of a certain number.

Luckygirl hope all goes well for you.

My DD and SIL are flying off for a well deserved holiday tomorrow, I wish they weren't!! My Mum was quite superstitious and would never change the calendar from 12th to 14th. I seem to be getting more like her every year. wink

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!

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!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

glammanana Thu 12-Nov-15 21:49:00

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

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.

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

Oh, katek. That's awful

annodomini Thu 12-Nov-15 23:04:01

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