Do it on Sunday do it for evil,
for all the week you will be ruled by the devil.
-----------------------------

Monday for health,
Tuesday " wealth,
Wednesday the best day of all,
Thursday for crosses,
Friday " losses
Saturday no luck at all.
All the money that is out is supposed to be collected on a Monday or the 1st May and none to be spent.
Potatoes set on Good Friday are supposed to be sure to grow well. They must never be planted later than the 1st May.
