It's our wedding anniversary today Smile. I remember people being a bit " getting married on the 13th, ooh that's dodgy". No problems to report luckily.

In Italian popular culture it is Friday 17th that is condisered bad luck, according to Wikipedia. But due to Anglo Saxon influence young people also consider FRiday 13th unlucky too.

Double whammy of 'bad luck days' in Italy!

My colleague is getting married today! Hopefully all will go well.

One of my best friends though, her husband died on Friday 13th!

It's silly superstition isn't it? Walking under ladders, stepping over the cracks in the pavement or you'll fall through etc Hmm

Thank you very much sole

Thankfully I am the main wage earner in the house so it wont have a massive impact.

Just means I'll have to increase work hours until he finds something else.
