Whether you are superstitious and believe in urban legends or not no-one can ignore it when its Friday 13th! Bad luck should be raining down upon all of us today and many of us will choose to just sit at home and wait this day out rather than fall foul to the infamous bad luck which clouds today!

Now whilst I may not totally believe that only bad luck can befall me today it is true that many unlucky and unfortunate things have happened on Friday 13ths throughout history. A virus hit computers across Britain, deleting important files on Friday 13th 1989, Berlin’s stock market collapsed Friday 13th 1927 causing this Friday to become known as ‘Black Friday’, Tupak Shakur died Friday 13th 1996 after being shot, Friday 13th 2010 a 13 year old boy was struck by lightening and weirdly enough picked up by the ambulance at 13:13!

Have you got any bad luck Friday 13th stories that have happened to you? I know I am tempting fate hear but as far as I can recall I don’t think any have happened to me.

So that seems like a good moment to go home and get into bed and not move till Midnight!

Well it has been so busy in the office over Christmas we have barely had time to breathe so unfortunately this wonderful blog had to take a bit of a back burner. But we’re back now and one of my more work related New Years resolutions is to keep up to date with this more!

So I bet you are wondering exactly what kept us so busy over Christmas? Well it is one of the busiest times of the year for The House of Silk with people all over the world treating their loved ones to one of our many quality products. Plus with the gift wrapping service that we offer, it is an easy way to get a beautiful present already beautifully wrapped to someone who may live halfway across the world!

Plus we had a new delivery of some fantastic wine bottle covers and bags which you can check out here. Aaaand we also had 1 new colour added to our Silk Mix range for men and 2 new colours added for the women. One of the colours we have added to the women’s range (champagne) is totally unique to these products and can’t be found anywhere else on our site.

Finally we have just launched our amazing Winter sale on The House of Silk site which you should totally have a look at because there are some great bargains to be found and they are all only available for a limited time only.

Anyways we are all still busy busy busy! So I had better go do some work but I will be back soon with more exciting news!

And people become focused on everyone they love in their life, thinking long and hard about what present to get them to show how much they appreciate them.

You must know by now how great our House of Silk range is but do you know about the luxury gift wrapping service we offer to make sure your present really shines under the tree? Take a look and see for yourself how fantastic is it: http://www.uk.thehouseofsilk.com

Well in business news our Gabitie site is having new ranges added to it practically every day! (Or so it seems to me!) From beginning with tools and DIY products we then added machinery. Now we can boast a fantastic indoor and outdoor lighting range and ranges of men’s clothing, women’s clothing, bedding and artwork! We are steadily becoming the one stop shop for everything you need!

Anyway this is just a short update as I am very busy and have to go do lots of work now…but hey its Friday!

I suppose with the weather about to turn a bit cold and bitter and the news telling you how awful the country is doing, Halloween becomes the perfect remedy, providing a fun excuse to dress up, be a bit silly and get a bit drunk!  Which is definitely what I will be doing this weekend! And what about you,  how are you going to be spending your Halloween weekend this year?

Also the title of this blog has added humour for me and anyone who has even experienced hopeful teenagers knocking on your door in the weeks leading up to Halloween and chanting “Halloween is coming” in the hope of getting some free sweets or cash!
