Today is Sorry Charlie Day

 

 

 

 

When : Always on April 6th

 

 

Have you ever been rejected? For anything? Sure you have! We all have. Sorry Charlie Day is for all of us who have been spurned, and yet somehow survived it.

 

Take a minute today and reflect upon a past dejection. Then, smile with the realization that "_ _ it happens....to all of us!"

[Brassed off]

Pst Jo - does Charleyfarley know?

[jowalshy]

huh?

[Brassed off]

You're not the only one Jo

Today is No Housework Day

 

 

 

When : Always April 7th

 

 

No Housework Day is your chance to do anything, except housework. Better still, have someone else do the chores for a day. Housework is a daily, seemingly endless and repetitive groups of tasks. It often goes unrecognized and worst of all..... taken for granted. But, watch out! If the dishes aren't done, or there's no clean towels, somebody takes note.

 

 

 

There's two ways to celebrate this day:

If you normally do the housework around the house, cease and desist for this day. Instead, kick back and enjoy the day. Relax and do anything, except housework.

 

If you are a spouse or significant other, do the housework for your mate. It gives her (or him) a break from the housework. And, you just might get an appreciation of how much work it takes to keep up the house.

Today is Name Yourself Day

 

 

 

When : Always April 9th

 

 

 

Name Yourself Day is your chance to give yourself whatever name you'd like...for a day. If you like your name, then change your name for just today. If you don't like your name, use today to select a new name for life!

 

 

Participating in Name Yourself Day is simple and easy. Go ahead, give it a try. Change your first, or middle, or last name. Or, change them all. Give yourself a cool and catchy nickname. Once you've selected your name, you've gotta communicate it to all of your family and friends. This could prove to be the hard part. It will likely take time for your new name to catch on.

Do you think I could put in a claim?

[Castlebest]

Ah so if the Inland Revenue repay Marks and Spencer the VAT they have wrongly collected then M&S will be unjustly enriched.... and if they don't then surely the Inland Revenue have been unjustly enriched... tricky one for the Lords

Today is Big Wind Day

 

 

 

When : Always April 12th

 

 

 

Big Wind Day commemorates the highest wind speed ever recorded on the planet. Can you guess where? No, it wasn't in the middle of a hurricane or a tornado.

 

 

 

On April 12, 1934, the staff of the Mount Washington Observatory recorded the highest surface wind ever measured, anywhere on earth. This big wind was officially recorded at 231 miles per hour. Imagine the difficulties of even making a recording under those conditions back then!

 

Will this record ever be broken? Perhaps, but until then, enjoy Big Wind Day.

 

 

Not the "Big Wind" you expected- - When talking to the family about documenting "Big Wind" day, family members teased "quick everyone, get out of the room!"

Moment of Laughter Day is also known as National Moment of Laughter Day, and plain old Moment of Laughter Day. We don't care whether you celebrate today as a local, national, or international day.
