    (continued from previous page)
    It is said if you break a mirror on Sunday you will have seven years bad luck.
    It is lucky to bring in anything on a Tuesday, and unlucky to put out a thing on the same day.
    Work started on Saturday is usually never finished.
    People say if you go to hospital on Saturday you will never come back.
    People say it is very lucky to flit on Friday.
    Work started on Saturday is lucky.
