Anyone else read too much into old wives tales? Like today, don't put on a wash as it will wash away the luck of the year.

I'm itching to get the house sorted and washing done but I read too much into the old wives tales to allow myself do it lol.

Anyone any others they follow the rules of?

I think the ice cream thing is more a trick so children won't torment parents for ice cream at stupid o clock when the ice cream can decides to come around more than an old wives tales lol. I never heard of the meat one now tbh.

Go and test the Universe ... put on that wash and then go find a few ladders to walk under and pavement cracks to step on, for sheer bouldness 💪

Now I don't walk under ladders for the simple reason it might fall, or the person on it might fall

I once cracked a mirror and had seven years of really bad luck.

I now avoid looking in them. My luck as improved but my look has deteriorated immeasurably.

Old Man Time cannot be kept out. He creeps in despite ones best efforts. Just keep a positive attitude and stay one day ahead and enjoy whatever good things come your way.

Always salute/wink a single magpie and just noticed 15yr old child doing same last week. Feel guilty for passing it on but I wouldn't wish bad luck on anyone so...

One I recall was don't stick your tongue out at anyone because if they give you a frightening it'll stay like that.

Another one was being made to stick your tongue out if your Mum/ Dad thought you were lying. They could tell if you were being honest/ dishonest by it's colour
