Things go in threes.

Seven years on and my microwave gave up the ghost yesterday. I used it a lot, so it's done well.

Today my tumble dryer has sprung a leak. In this household of mine things like this tend to happen in threes, so what's next...........I'm waiting!

 

My Gran was the superstitious one in our family (space here too limited to name them all!), and she always maintained that ' ... bad things happen in threes,' for some reason though, she could never explain why, if bad things happened in threes, good things didn't as well?

Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

 

i know how you feel last week my partner leaves,then i realise i no longer have a vehicle(its mine but i put it in his name),and now suddenly i have been put out of the buisness we had (hmm well shame he doesnt know how to keep accounts ) so im left penniless and a bit peed off (he also empied the bank accounts ) that means ive still another 2 bad lucks to go as thats the start opf a second lot of 3 :wallbang:

 

Poor you, Bambooruth.

My Mum always sticks three pins in her noticeboard whenever she is facing a difficult time. Maybe you could try it as a way of subverting the 'unlucky three' rule!

 

thankyou i will

 

My Mum is full of all these arcane superstitions. She worked as a dressmaker and apparently whenever the girls in the workrooms were facing a particularly difficult day/client, they'd group three pins somewhere like a work table to ward off the evils. She's just done the same thing for my son, who has a three hour Latin exam this afternoon!

Hope things get much better soon.

 

I reckon bambooruth should get herself a bag of jelly babies and stick 3 pins in each one whilst at the same time reciting her partner's name.

 

Hmm, a group of ladies talking about witchcraft.....

I'm off to check wether my milks gone sour.:runhills:

 

Ziggy, my English teacher once wrote the following on the script of an unfortunate exam candidate:

'For your information, a wether is a castrated ram. Perhaps you meant 'whether'.'

Nowadays I suppose the teacher would be suspended and the child would be offered counselling to cope with the trauma.

Maths was always my weakest subject. I once forgot to write my name on a particularly woeful effort. When it was eventually returned to me, the words 'Do you wish to remain anonymous?' were scrawled across it in large red capitals.

 

I did look at that before I pressed the button, cheers for putting me right.

Missed spelling at school, on account of being ill, have a lot of trouble with double letters too.

That, and joking, aside. Thats a hell of a lot of hassle to be coping with at once Ruth. Have you still got the log book for the car ?

 

P.S. Milk has curdled

 

now also sounds interesting ,did the 3 pins in my now out of the attic noticeboard and firstly was given some unexpected money for a favour id done (payed back my 13yr old who`d very sweetly given me his money bless his heart) then at last got a very understanding woman on the phone at sky who had been there and done that,quietly told me how to sort out my phone ,broadband and tv so his account would be wiped (kept being told he had to close it and i had to pay his outstanding bill ) and an account for me opened with them :yess: then got a gift of a big pot of verbena of my darling little sister feel much more positive tonight ,even ended up having a right good belly rumbling laugh :yess: ,oh and hows your milk ziggy would hate to think it had soured and i hope your day has improved sheal

 

No offence meant, Zig. It just reminded me of a particularly sour teacher.

And yes, Ruth should definitely be sticking pins in effigies.

 

oh well you can always make a lovely crowdie to slap on your toast :D

 

i dont ziggy ,thats the trouble i cant be bothered with conflict and just feel that bad things happen to bad people i just pick myself up and get on with it(got a history of attracting controlling violent men :o )think ive got "soft as sh**e "tattoed across my head :DOH:
