I agree that most of them are daft.......however.........my granny once told me that when I was ready to start a family I should get a pair of yellow booties and put them in a safe place in my home.

When it was time for us to start TTC, I had forgotten all about it, but she hadn't, and knitted me a pair of adorable yellow booties and gave them to me just before I left to live in Darwin. Two months later: pregnant!

(I have since loaned this pair of bootees to a friend.......she got pregnant 3 weeks after recieving them!)

So, yep, old wifes tales are daft. Or are they?! LOL!
