Don't put new shoes on a table or you'll have bad luck.

Didn't really buy into it until the day my son had his new trainers on the kitchen table and I made a joke of it.

Then the kettle, washing machine and microwave packed up in the same 3 weeks.

I used to believe eating my crusts would make my hair curly.

I always ate them and my hair did become curly when I hit puberty

Solihull and Brentwood

Partner 'accidently' drops her glove. Then says she can't pick it up as it's bad look.

I just 'bend it like Beckham' into the next aisle and tell her to go buy a new pair.

I'm lying. I always pick it up for her. But I would so love to.....

I don't believe in all that nonsense,and quite frankly anyone who does is going to turn into a pumpkin if the wind changes direction if they haven't eaten all their tea and if they pull faces at kittens.

It's, you can't teach a paper bag new tricks.

And don't drink vinegar on a Tuesday morning

I remember my nan rubbing butter on a burn on my hand when I was a kid telling me.

"Butter is the best thing for a burn"

Errrmmmmm no its not.

My nan was Welsh from the valleys and used to come out with some right shit.

My Mum, used to say the same, also,

If you dropped a fork on the floor a woman would call.

Also, if you have an itchy palm.

Guinness is good for you and high in Iron. You actually need 33 pints to get your daily recommended Iron intake

Under the Duvet

Throw spilt salt over your left shoulder for luck (its meant to go in the Devil's eye, why he'd be looking over my shoulder is anyones guess).

The Pinch Punch first if the minth thing, plus saying "White Rabbits" for luck.

Always saying "Good night, sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite"

And "Bless you" if you sneeze.

Carrots help you see in the dark.

Drinking from the wrong side of the cup to stop hiccups, although this does kind of work.

The wife's wedding ring on a thread held over the pregnant area, if it spins one way it is a boy and if it spins the other a girl.
