lol!! :-)

Women aren't allowed out on their own silly Manda!!!

Ah But..... How do you know if it's a male or female magpie?!?!? lol x :-)

Because then you're not acknowledging that there's only one and the sorrow won't get you! Daisy

Mummy will be very pleased to hear it! :-) Daisy

Manda we used to say 3 a letter 4 something better.. Jacquie xxxxx

Your right Roxanne - I thought that I had more sense:))xx

You have all got me panicking now - I didn't realise that it was about magpies. We had one on our patio the other day and I didn't know that I should have saluted. I always say that I'm not superstitious but......................what can I do to put it right? Chrissie x

I always say.... One in flight is worth 2 in sight! :O) And i always ask where its wife is today if i see a single one! xx

THAT'S IT!! I know it had the word Bliss in it!! Ner ner ne ner ner!!! lol x :-)

Manda you haven't lost the plot babe.... another version One for sorrow, two for joy, three for a girl, for for a boy, five for silver, six for gold, seven for a secret, never to be told, eight for a wish, nine for a kiss, ten for a time of joyous bliss

If I see just one magpie then I always salute it to cancel out the sorrow!! Debby - I remember the program but don't think I watched it that much, if at all!! lol :-)

Defo 8's a wish, 9's a kiss and 10 is a bird you must not miss. Chrissie - 3 for a girl. On the way back from the doctor's having had my final pregnancy confirmed, 3 magpies flew across in front of my car. Ellie is 12 next month! Btw my mum refuses to see just one magpie and always says out loud 'hello Mr Magpie, Mrs Magpie and all the little baby magpies' as she reckons they're just shy and hiding! Not a word Diana, or I'll tell Mummy you were mean! lol Daisy

Manda You must have been watching a different programme! Just googled it as you had me thinking I'd gone bonkers and it's definitely a bird you must not miss! There's bound to be loads of variations but that was the official Magpie theme song. Debby

another version is..... One for sorrow, two for mirth, Three for a wedding, four for a birth, Five for silver, six for gold, Seven for a secret not to be told. Eight for heaven, nine for hell, And ten for the devil's own sel'.

I remember someone saying that 3 was for a letter, but that doesn't really go with the rest of the words! And I always thought the 10 was blah blah blah ending in bliss!?! x :-)

Oh, of course Manda. It's because I was associating a kiss with boy LOL:)) Oh - and we did always say 10 for a dissappointment. Probably depends where you came from:))

I always thought it was this - but someone correct me if I'm wrong! 1 for sorrow 2 for Joy 3 for a Girl 4 for a Boy 5 for Silver 6 for Gold 7 for a Secret never to be told

Anybody know what 3 is? Just had a thought that it may be kiss?

yeay.... thanks guys! xx
