New Year superstitions?

Meal not medal, she deserved one of them.😍

My own DM ( Italian) always used to say whatever you do on NY day, you will do for the rest of the year, hence no washing of clothes but she always cooked a special medal, my DH always quoted this back to me if he wanted some " romance" on that day😂

To be on the safe side kitty I wouldn’t 🤣

I'd never heard of not doing washing either. Glad I've just got organised after Christmas!

I was just wondering about the ironing tomorrow kittylester!

I never wash on NYD either. As I finished all my washing today, does anyone know if I can iron it tomorrow?

My Mum used to empty the kitchen bin into the outside dustbin about 11.30pm on New Year’s Eve and insisted nothing could be dropped into it till after midnight. It had to be clean and empty to start the new year.

My mum and Gran were also adamant about no washing on NY day but I think along the same lines as you Casdon

Omg my washing can wait! Never knew this one! But as I’m superstitious I’ll leave my washing till Thursday! My mam used to empty all the bins hoover right through and everything had to be pristine. She used to shove my dad out at 11,55 so he was the first foot in the house of the new year he carried a bottle of whisky and a piece of coal!

Me neither, I've been trying to catch up with washing today, the rest can wait.

"Wash on New Year's Day, wash one of the family away" I was told.

You wash away a life Aveline, apparently. It’s a silly superstition, but I never wash on New Years Day either, just in case.

I've never heard that one about washing. What's wrong with washing?

Yes I've come across that one. it's horrid. Not supposed to wash on NY Day. & I would normally put a wash on tomorrow.

It's my mum, when she rings to wish me Happy New Year she always checks I haven't washed anything. I'm not superstitious but she really believes these things & goes into a full-scale panic unless I lie about it.
