In Italy people believe that if you wear red underwear [or green if you are in Sardinia] on New Year's Eve it will bring you luck. So this morning I took me shopping!
By the time I got to the shop where I bought the bra - one I hadn't been into before - the bancomat / link system was down all over town. I didn't have enough on me to pay for the bra and its companion [which I'm not showing you!] in cash and it never occurs to me to carry my chequebook around these days, so I offered to go back this afternoon when hopefully the machines would be working again or I could have withdrawn some money over the counter in the bank. But they wouldn't hear of it, wrapped the goods, asked me to pay them when next I'm passing and wished me a Happy New Year - all this without even asking for my name or phone number! That is a shop which will definitely get my trade again.
You must eat lentils this evening if you want some money in 2009. Don't forget, now!
Lastly, you should make love tonight if you want your affairs of the heart to go smoothly in the New Year. As I said, I'm leaving nothing to chance....
HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!
This is so hilarious. You go, girl.
ReplyDeleteWow lentils and lingeriem what a combination.. I think I will aske the not wife to don some red skimpies and make some dhal forthwith
ReplyDeleteHow trusting of the store - you live in a town full of nice people.
ReplyDeleteI intend to, Anne! Hi, jams. You do just that! Ciao, Miss B. Yes, it was very kind of them.
ReplyDeleteI have to wait until the morning when my honey comes by but we'll do a double whammy just in case! LOL
ReplyDeleteOh, I wish I'd come by sooner! No chance for the red underwear, or the lentils. Hmmm - what was the rest of the advice? Maybe I could manage that one!
ReplyDeleteI agree - if you find a shop like that, stick to it. What a wonderful attitude to have in your business.
Ciao Leslie. buon anno to you both .
