Re: Do you have a lucky charm
 
I bought some chestnuts at a supermarket. One fell from the bag into the trolley at the checkout. I was fetched up to believe 'waste not want not' so instead of leaving it in the trolley, it was easier to fling it into my handbag as I was paying for the groceries.

I forgot about it until, soon after, I won £1000 at bingo in Burnley.
I seemed to be winning (small amounts) more often and within months I won £9000 in one go!

My lucky chestnut stayed put in my handbag until it eventually disintegrated.
It had lasted a year. I didn't try replacing it - you can't deliberately conjure up luck like that.

My Grandmother used to have a lucky Rabbit's foot in her jewellery box -never saw her wear it (it was made into a rather gruesome brooch), I think they used to be quite fashionable at one time.

I always bring back a small bunch of heather from the Lake District on my annual hols (I know you shouldn't really pick it!) -I keep it in a small vase in with my Japanese tea set in the china cabinet. Doesn't seem to bring much luck though...

I don't have a lucky charm, but my lucky number is 10. This is because I was born on the 10th and J is the 10th letter of the alphabet - it hasn't actually proven to be lucky, but I can't abandon it yet - you never know!

I recall seeing women wearing fox stoles - very gruesome - a dead stuffed animal around their necks:eek:

Think you're right there Cashy, People who are seen as lucky by others are often good networkers, talk to people more, and more opportunities come their way as a result...

"Luck" such as winning the lottery is completely random and happens to very few - a lot of money isn't the solution to certain problems anyway.

By the way I won 15 euros on my birthday with a scratch card but it didn't change my life!

Groove thinks Jaysay would need more than a lucky charm to beat him at golf.

I would suggest an arm-wrestling contest -but I think your only chance of beating Jay would be in a spelling test;):D
