Some of these are so freaky. Small world! Love love love reading these!!
I did just remember something which could be a coincidence, or something else.
I found out in May that I was pregnant, total surprise as our youngest child is almost 10. Every time I facetimed my mum who lived back home in England, she constantly asked if I was pregnant. So when I told her I was, she laughed. She was seriously unwell for many years so was delighted and wanted to know the gender. I got an early gender scan on August 1st, told her on August the 2nd that the baby is a girl (due this week ahhh!) and my lovely mum passed away on August 3rd
But that's not where the coincidences are. Since she's passed, lights are always filickering wherever I go. When I saw her in the mortuary the light above her was flickering and then at her wake, now all the time I'm back in Australia the lights are always flickering, even my Christmas tree ones.
Anyhow, we recently moved into a much bigger house and it was so empty so I needed to buy some new sofas to fill spaces. I went to a shop called early settler which had some gorgeous sofas, but even at half price, they were out of my price range. I'd put two different sofa suites on my wish list and then forgot about them. Checked facebook marketplace and someone was giving away a 2 seater and 3 seater sofa for free. It was one of the ones on my wish list. So we collected, gave the old owners wine as hate taking things for nothing. Happy as Larry.
Checked facebook marketplace a few days later and there was the other sofa on my wish list, for sale for $100 (about 50 quid!) instead of the $4600 shop price. It was in my suburb too so messaged immediately. The people selling lived along the same rural road as me and when I went to collect it, they were selling as were about to move back to England.
I think my shopaholic mama has been helping me get second hand bargains from the afterlife! So not so much as a coincidence but more wooowooo.
