You must not clean your house/trailer at all today, or new years day, or you will wipe away your good luck for 2021. We need all we can get!
Well it might work! Right now I'll try anything!
Happy new year.

    I'm going to rule this is non-music folklore, possibly even non-folkloric folklore, and belongs below the line.

Just when I was about to hoover the carpet!
Will it be OK if I hoover the carpet but don't empty the bag for a couple of days?

Too late. I always feel the house should be clean in honour of the New Year. As you would if expecting visitors.

Hey! Don't ask me! It might not work if you don't believe it! A bit like a car I once had.

Maybe I'll empty the hooverings in the compost bin, then the luck will still be there in the back garden.

I did a load of wash. I'll have a go at sweeping, later. After last year, ANYTHING
