Broken Mirror Woops

[4getmenot]

I dont know whether I've said on here before but my full length mirror on my bedroom wall keeps falling off but has never broke, first time my mate caught it as it fell and second time I heard it bounce 4 times and nothing. Things fall off my shelf too, an angel my nan made usually comes off but has never broken. Well at weekend I'd bought some stronger wire for the mirror and last night I thought I'd try fixing it. Part of the frame had broken off the bottom and I wasn't strong enough to push it back on, so I went into my kitchen to text my mate asking if next time he's round he'd help me fix it. As I did this I heard a loud bang and went in bedroom, stuff fallen off shelf a broken ornamental bowl on floor but the angel still intact on the shelf. Well after that I thought I'll give the mirror a try and as I tried putting the bottom of frame on the mirror shattered. :-( So in a space of minutes I'd broken bowl and mirror! But anyway my question is I think I broke a mirror less than 7 years ago does that mean my bad luck starts from now or is added on to the last accident?

The reason its supposed to be bad luck for seven years is that that was roughly the amount in wages for the average guy (ie 7 years worth) that it cost to buy a mirror. So reckon that means your luck is consecutive not concurrent!! But only if you live in the middle ages - you can buy massive mirrors for �20 now in Wilkos, so work out how long it'll take you to earn �20 and thats how long your bad luck will last!!

My bad luck is over, thank you ali :-)

Apparently you won't get bad luck if you throw the remains of the broken mirror into a river.....

They are quite big bits and surely that isnt good for the fish or any kids that may want to swim there in the summer :-) Maybe I'll take a visit to the Thames they are used to all cr@p in there :-)
