Take the mirror outside if you have a garden and bury it.
Ignore it. This is superstition, nothing more.

thanks eastender
I'm with Mr Hughes. Sweep it up and dispose of the shards carefully. End of.
Agree with tonyted, buy a new one. I was always told that the superstition stems from days when it would take a maid-servant at least 7 years to save up and pay for a breakage in their masters house and thus replace it - therefore ending the "curse". I have no idea whether this is true or not, but it really is just a superstition.
Octavius is correct. The superstition is not 7 year's 'curse' but 7 year's bad luck. Bad luck cos if you broke one of your master's mirrors you'd be paying it off for the next 7 years. The 'bad luck' ends when you replace the mirror (nothing about burying it in the garden).
