And it was all shoes - not just new ones - that were banned from the table in our house. Mum always said it was to do with not putting your feet on the table because it implied you were idle (or out of work)!

One time I left a pair of soft, tiny baby shoes on a table in a relative's house with other baby items as this lady was baby-sitting whilst I went to work. I never heard the last of it! When you're unaware that someone is superstitious about something it easy to cause anxiety. That memory sticks in my mind. I'm not superstitious. Thanks for sharing. Have a good weekend.

Here's some great ones for you: In the 1500′s, it was a common superstition that if you didn’t break up a eggshell after emptying it of the egg, a witch would snatch it up, use it as a boat, sail out to sea, and cast spells that would cause storms and sink ships! In the 1840′s the Irish who emigrated to America would break eggshells to keep the Irish Fairies who’d accompanied them to America from going home by eggshell boat.Tricky Wolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08755505701123051720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1985198055979175156.post-80806451627543412462017-03-03T10:26:19.953-06:002017-03-03T10:26:19.953-06:00Yes I have heard all of these at one time or anoth...Yes I have heard all of these at one time or another but a couple or so years ago I was made aware of one I had never heard before that frightened the life out of me.....Washing (doing laundry) on New Year's Day will wash a life away.<br />That year I had done a wash load on New Year's Day and a week or so later we heard that my husband's brother who lived in South Africa had passed away unexpectedly.

Black cats were always for good luck where I came from, as were chimney sweeps at a wedding. Another one I remember is don't put an umbrella up indoors.
