LEAVING NOTHING TO CHANCE


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these days, so I offered to go back this afternoon when hopefully the machines would be working again or I could have withdrawn some money over the counter in the bank.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!

I have to wait until the morning when my honey comes by but we'll do a double whammy just in case! LOL

Dragonstar said...

Oh, 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!

I agree - if you find a shop like that, stick to it. What a wonderful attitude to have in your business.

Welshcakes Limoncello said...

Ciao Leslie. buon anno to you both .
Hi, dragonstar. Never mind - you'll know for next new year! Yes, that's a nice shop. Buon anno.

Welshcakes, they say that Bulls are attracted to Red. So tread carefully.:)

Lentil soup would be lovely for the Hangover.:)

Enjoy!

Wishing you a very happy 2009 with many affairs of the heart.:)

damm, I know where I went wrong in the past, it's got to be red for next year and will stock up on lentils.

Felice anno nuovo

Red my favourite colour! Maybe I have some lentils. Too late to go out and get them I'm afraid.

Happy New Year and have a wonderful 2009 Welshcakes.

Hi, Luce. Thank you for your kind words and buon anno! As you say, you'll know for next year! Ciao, O&A. I'm not sure I'll be able to keep the racy posts up! Buon anno to you. Jmb, I thought of you when I was looking at all those red offerings. Buon anno di nuovo. Thank you kindly, Valleys Mam. I am just imagining the scene! Happy New Year.
