I really am not superstitious mainly because I was born on Friday the 13th.I have touched my head and said "knock on wood" but I'm just kidding (I hope people know that)

It is as you say Bex a very old saying and I use to do it a lot, I think because my mum did, but I can't remember the last time - a very long time ago! Maybe because my dear mum is no longer with me and I have got out of the habit.

Not often enough, thats why if I say on a brilliant sunny day "I hope it stays like this" it usually rains within 10mins! lol

I have been known to use that expression fairly frequently....although I am rarely actually touching wood as I say it.
