It's the 29th of Feb today!!!

[abillybob]

An extra day of the year and guess what.... We work it for free! SO should be a bank holiday wouldn't you all agree?

 

Here's the Google Doodle:

I dont work it for free....

Actually in reality we get paid for 0.25 of a day extra every year and it gets evened out in leap years

 

AND - don't go round telling people it is the 29th

those of us who are single and have a partner will be worrying all day!!!

You work an extra day in the year. Is your employer paying you for that then?

According to tradition, if a woman proposes marriage on Leap Day to a man and he refused, the man was obliged to buy her new gloves on Easter Day. Edited February 29, 2016 by DJ-1701

yes they are paying.

As a single very good looking (if I say so myself) person, I'm afraid women might be proposing to me in the street.

 

 

Reality : I tend to get people running around screaming when they see my ugly mug

Unfortunately I am always the bridesmaid, never the bride... or something like that.

That's quite a fair compromise (from the mans point of view!)

Apparently in Sweden (or Norway or something) he has to buy her enough silk to make a skirt

 

In any case - new gloves v. cost of wedding - you do the math(s)

At least the dresses always look good on you.

Is it not tradition for the farther of the bride to pay for the wedding.. Could be free for you

[DJ-1701]

farther of the bride

 

What kind of tradition is that?

Maybe at the weekend, but the looks @DJ-1701 gets when wearing high heels on a Monday morning can be comical.

How's that work, then?

Good point - still you could always do a deal with him

 

and in any case - think of the expense of the next xxxx years - and I believe that divorce ain't cheap

 

fortunatly I have managed to dodge the marriage bullet so far - but it is the 29th Feb and I am going round to my Girlfriend's later:eek:
