    Friday the lucky day. People like to move into a new house. Saturday is a bad day to begin any new work. St,Martins day 11th Nov, no work in iron is done. Planting potatoes to be done before 17th March. For Marriages nearly all take place on Wednesday. Monday for health;Tuesday wealth,Wednesday best luck of all. Thursday losses;Friday crosses;Saturday no luck at all.No money should be spent on first money of new year. People should try to get silver from black haired man for luck on that day.Good Friday is lucky.
