Do you believe in the Magpie song 1 for sorrow 2 joy 3 for girl 4 for a boy 5 for silver 6 for gold 7 for a secret never to be told. The reason i ask is that for the last 6 weeks or so i have had 1 magpie where ever i am. ie front of the house, back of the house. when i went to the shops one flew down and landed just inches away from me. I have had nothing but bad luck, bad health etc during this time. My head tells me that this is just concidence, but my heart is telling me different. what do you think and is their anyway i can rid this run of bad luck. Thanks for listening Sue-Manchester
