- Saturday is supposed to be a very unlucky day for changing anything to another house or starting to plough or any new work. An old saying is
“A Saturdays flit
is a short sit.” Monday and Wednesday are said to be the most lucky days of the week. Some days are luckier to take a wish on than others.Wish on Monday ‘twill come true,
Lucky wish is Tuesdays too.
Wednesday just wish at eve,
Thursdays wish you’ll soon receive.
Never wish on Friday, don’t forget,
And Saturday only if it’s wet.
Wish next day whatever befall,
Sundays wish is best of all.- Collector
