New House Move-In Day: Need Scientific Advice...

ChippingSodbury

Hi,
Builder has just told me that house will be ready to move in next Friday: my mother tells me we can't move in on a Friday (bad luck). Builder tells me we can't move in on a Saturday (bad luck).
Anybody got any scientific advice on when we should move in (or is there no good day to move in:eek:)?

Sir Osis of Liver.

Never heard of such nonsense.

You might be better just staying where you are... just in case!

Friday Friday gotta move in on Friday!

Feck mother and the builder,.move half your gear in Friday and half on Saturday.

Nonsense. Though when the builder says it's "ready" and when it's actually ready are two different things.

There may be some practical sense in not moving into a house on a Friday - when you find the 500 things you need to fix/buy/arrange, then you have to wait until Monday before you can sort any of them out. Though that's not so much the case now that most places are open on weekends.

everdead.ie

Obviously just do it on Sunday even the most unsuperstitious person walks around a ladder might as well just wait for Sunday and you'll all be happy.

ChippingSodbury

Surely there's a rhyme or something that has the magic answer?

The Diabolical Monocle

Move in on Friday but if you can leave a shot of whiskey there overnight to appease the spirits.
If you've no whiskey you use the blood of a virgin. So bring a knife.

Scientific advice....

Superstition is a load of bollox, move in when you want

Saturday flit is a short sit.

lfqnic

In Italy the custom says that you can't do stuff like that on feast days, which my mother tells me means Friday and Sunday... (Con la fatica delle feste, il diavolo ci si veste, the devil clothes himself in the makings of feast days!) so that's your whole weekend blown out I'm afraid.

And the mother?

You need some kind of loophole

You should move in at the time between midnight and the morning when it's suddenly ok to feed Gremlins again but not quite Saturday yet.

Davarus Walrus

Burn down the house and start again. You're utterly doomed already. That place will bring you nothing only unhappiness, misery and despair.

ChippingSodbury

Yeah, I can just see myself looking at the charred remains saying: "Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time" or "Some bloke (or blokette) on t'internet made me do it your guardship"

Chattastrophe!

A girl I worked with was really paranoid about this, she rescheduled her honeymoon just so that they wouldn't have to arrive back and move in on a Friday. (Of course, moving in together before the wedding was out of the question - even though the house they'd built had been ready for a couple of months before. )

Same girl, when building the house, buried a fifty euro note in the foundations because it was "good luck". It might be good luck, but it's FIFTY FECKIN EURO! :eek: :eek: :eek:

Sir Arthur Daley

Move in on the Monday.

Jaysus, don't tell me I've to go back to the foundations and throw in €50??

If they're still happily living in the house, sure they must be right...

I have a anti tiger brick, leave it outside your door and you won't have a tiger enter your home, for sale at a decent price too.

Or you could go for the super-de-dooper package that also blocks dinosaurs, aliens and polar bears

Just enter the house on the Friday and open your umbrella. On the Saturday, put a ladder against the wall of the house near the front door and walk underneath it.

just.....

no. just no

Duggy747

Move in today but only as long as you have a red onion, the fur of a brown + white king charles spaniel, mi-wadi diluted with tears of virgins, and a crucifix made out of biscuits.

You know, to avoid any kind of nonsense....

Sell your house, it's cursed.

Don't forget to walk backwards clapping you hands going through the front door for the first time

Unicorns?

Did you know everyone who moved into a new house on a Friday in the 1700s is now DEAD! Rich, poor, mansion or hovel they are all now DEAD! And it is the case world wide not just in Ireland. Fact! Move on on a Friday and you will die eventually.





(aka don't listen to anyone else just move in when it suits you).

Sir Arthur Daley

It’s bad luck to carry a hoe into the house. If you do it by mistake, carry it out by walking backwards through the same door* — it’ll reverse the bad luck.




* For the backwards man just walk forwards.

ChippingSodbury

If I brought a hoe (of the non-garden tool variety) into the house, my wife would (understandably) throw me out: the backwards or forwards bit would be irrelevant...

Had a look at that link. Seems it's even a bit more complicated than first thought:
(copied from beneath the list if 'acceptable' dates)

* Note that these dates are GENERAL AND GENERIC in nature (read: good enough, if you are not too particular)– and are not yet fine-tuned to suit your birth chart and does not yet include the fine-tuning of auspicious hours. Also, what is important, is NOT when your furniture (with the exception of the bed if you are a newly married couple) goes in. The key focus is on the very FIRST night you spend in your new home.

Could I really take the risk on using the 'GENERAL AND GENERIC' Dates??

ChippingSodbury

Well,
We moved in last Friday. The house hasn't fallen down, we haven't moved on anywhere else, no unicorns/ tigers etc. have attacked us.

Are we long enough in with no ill effects to assume the threat is gone?

Depends, has your mother found out you moved in on a Friday?

ChippingSodbury

Aye, she did! She's eating humble pie as we speak...:D

For some reason, I'm not 100% confident of the success of this ploy...
