    the house, it's very unlucky.
    If your chin is itchy it is an insleep or an outsleep.
    If your right eye is itchy you will be laughing and if your left eye is itching you will be crying.
    When a glass cracks that is very unlucky.
    When you dream of a marriage that is a sign of death.
    (Miss) Mona McCartney
    (From her mother)

    The old people say if you hear the curlew cry it is the sign of rain.
