Just wondered if anyone else has strange or unwelcome things happen to them on this date? One year the zip on my school blazer got stuck and I couldn't get my purse or any other important things out for ages. Today for some reason I went and bought a Roboraptor!
I nearly asked for one for Christmas but decided against it, but bought it today. Of course didn't realise it was Friday 13 until I got my parking ticket and saw FRI 13 in huge letters across the top of it! I should have known that when you spend a lot of money on something you'll lose the receipt in the wind, the box containing it will almost be ripped to shreds.....and then the thing won't work so you have to drive back to town to make sure you can get it exchanged easily without a receipt then walk back through town a third time with a heavy 32 inch dinosaur in your hand to where your Dad's car is parked in a dodgy area!
But, a couple of lucky things happened: the second time I drove down I found a free parking space, and on the way home the second time saw Mam standing at a bus stop not far from home so was able to give her a lift home instead of her walking in the cold or paying busfare
