If this has been done please tell
Its to cold to snow
Its the sort of rain that get you wet
If the wind changes your face will stay like that
what do you think ?
have you got more ?
are they true ?

Shoes on a table is bad luck (never affected me yet)

One death for one birth in a family (supposedly means that not long after a death in the family there will be a birth......fairly bloody likely too lol)

when giving a purse or wallet as a gift its considered good luck to include some money in it and bad luck not too.
