I am quite superstitious but usually (and I am touching wood here)this is not a bad day for me. I quite like the number 13 and wondered if anyne had a Friday the 13th story to share.

Titania that sounds awful. I was a SAHM for 6 years and never got used to being ill and not getting any rest at all. Now I work when I am sick the kids daily routine continues and it is much better I really feel for you. Big hug and kidney infections are painful as well.

Can only offer a hug then. What treatment are you having for the kidney infection?

OP posts:
Titania · 13/08/2004 09:48

antibiotics and painkillers that are making me feel a bit woozy

tinytoes · 13/08/2004 09:53

lucky for me and ds-he was born friday the 13th september 2002!

tinytoes · 13/08/2004 09:57

titania sorry to hear youre not well kidney infections are painful its one of the only things i would take antibiotics for -are they working?
drink loads of cranberry juice too- this is supposed to help

Bagpuss30 · 13/08/2004 10:00

My ds born Friday 13th October 2000. Best day of my life .

Titania · 13/08/2004 10:10

i cant drink cranberry juice.....there is something in it that oxidises and can cause kidney stones if you are prone to them.....which i am!!! drinking loads of barley water instead!!

ds2 was due on the 12th feb 04, and the next day was friday the 13th....as i was having a home birth, I didn't want him to be born on that day!!! Thank goodness he was born on 11th feb!!!

2 of my friends at primary school were born on friday the 13th!! One of them is always having things go wrong....the other is now a sucessful business man!!!

Juliehafrancis · 13/08/2004 10:26

Same here tinytoes! Cool eh! Briony Mae was born at 12.15 on the 13th September 2002

nutcracker · 13/08/2004 10:31

Didn't even realise it was Friday 13th.

tinytoes · 13/08/2004 12:24

cool jf ! jacob was born 9.35
(titania sorry for the bad advice hope youre ok soon)

edam · 13/08/2004 12:37

So far this morning I've managed to: step out in front of a car (luckily didn't have ds with me and the driver stopped...); bang ds's head on the staircase while I was taking him out of his buggy; bang his head on my elbow, FFS, three minutes later while giving him a bye-bye hug at nursery.
NOT a good day, esp for poor ds!

Titania · 13/08/2004 12:52

tinytoes it wasnt bad advice at all........its only a recent thing i found out myself!! hope your all not having too much of a disaterous day!?

Papillon · 13/08/2004 20:33

I left my changing bag at the baby massage class resulting in a two hour round trip walk to retrieve it, and I seem to have been bitten by a spider(???) under my arm. So not a very exciting fri the 13th story, but not a good day!

Is it possible to be bitten by a spider???? I always thought they only ate flies!
