Have You Had a Psychic Read?

I have an awful lot of better things to do with both my time and my money.

Not to mention better things to give head space to.

I had a reading once- he told me who I had been in a past life which fascinated me. He said he had been drawn to me and really wanted to do a reading for me- so much so that he didn't charge. He said that in a previous life I had been a man (which is bizarre because I read somewhere that those women with the most serious cases of PCOS had often been men in past lives hence the excess testosterone) and also that I had died young from TB. I had my BCG at birth (due to there being TB in close family) and I've never had to have a booster in 33 years as my immunity is still perfect- something the doctors cannot explain. He also told me that my late auntie (who was a nurse) was looking after my baby with the help of my nan. I had had a very traumatic miscarriage 2 years before and it's something I never talked about, but he specifically mentioned it- in fact it made him cry and it got me in floods (obviously as it had been a very much wanted baby)
I was sceptical until then and to some extent still slightly am but I think I've mellowed a bit.

See that's what makes me hate anything like this, I think that's cruel actually. Almost trying to be an unqualified councillor with no idea how it could impact on you.

I had a psychic reading last year. She said off the bat about lost children. (M/C)Lucky guess? I reckon.

The rest of it never came true or I don't see it happening. I didn't have a good "win" on anything at the end of last year. I don't even gamble.

No more kids, I can't.

I've yet to book a holiday to your typical Brits abroad boozy resort, easy prediction. So NOT us.

My husband hasn't been on a weekend stag. That's not his thing at all.

There is a relocation coming not where I was told.

My point is, everything I was told, would be pretty bang on the money for the target audience. Relocation. No !!!!!!. Holiday in Cyprus...na-ah not us. Boys weekends are the norm.

However it just doesn't apply to us. Someone else may have thought wow!

I have been to mediums several times over the years. Last time was when I first met my oh I went to a tarrot reader. He told me I should watch my oh as he had slept with over 100 women including prostitutes. I was devastated. Luckily I spoke to him rather than freaking out. He reassured me this was baloney and was really angry!

We were only laughing about this the other day. 6 years on I know this couldn't be further from the truth about my oh

Hardly going to tell you on the first date that he might have put it around a bit is he?

Just co incidence though surely? I have a couple of similar incidents to recount. We were on a campsite in France sitting in the bar and we got chatting to a couple from Leeds, who, it turned out, had gone to university with my best friends husband. On that same holiday we walked down a street and bumped into some old friends, and we were at Disney in Florida one year and out of all the people in the park we ended up in a queue for a ride right behind a former neighbour.

Such things happen more than you would think I suspect.

Think of all the thousands of interactions you have with people where there isn't any coincidence.....so a few coincidences in a lifetime is not that suprising really. I had a strange one the other day, I was commenting on a friend's facebook post and one of their friends (who lived in a different city and who I'd met around 10 years ago but never seen since) suddenly posted to say they were sitting next to my husband (who they'd never met through me). Turns out she clicked on my thumbnail and saw his face on my profile, and he was the guy she sits next to at work. Entirely coincidental though and nothing spooky about it.

I had a reading once and was surprised at how accurate she was. She didn't advertise and was recommended by a friend. All she had to go on was my first name. She new things she couldn't possibly have known, an example was my gran always used to keep a toasting fork by her gas fire and used to threaten us with it if we were naughty, she told me my gran was there with said fork laughing. How could she have known this.

My stepmum goes for readings quite regularly and although I'd never do it myself, I find the idea of knowing the future too freaky, the last time she went about a year ago she was told there'd be news of a new baby in the family by spring.
At the time I was trying to conceive and having some problems, I had to go on medication, but I did fall pregnant soon after and announced my pregnancy around march time, so she was spot on with that one.

A very vague assumption that on the whole in most families would be correct.

Indeed. I was told that as well....not happened yet.

If she knows your friends...you'd be surprised what people bring up in general conversation.
