Pay Day. The day that you get Paid
Well its the last working day of the month. For many people this is payday. Its also a Friday and for those who may be paid weekly it too is Payday. I started my working life in a Bank. Wednesday and/orThursday was the day that the bigger companys and firms rang in with their order for the wages, which were paid in cash.

Fish For Friday

Unlucky Day?
Well today is Friday the 13th! Considered to be an unlucky day by many cultures around the world for all sorts of reasons, both historical, mythological and religious.

A lucky day for many when maybe your true love will pop the question "Will you Marry Me?"
