Why not, if they haven't been worn?

it old news ...
Also I sometimes forget the new stuff .. so when it gets
retold to me its old news ..

Do you agree we should ask what is old ..

What is old with you today or would that be yesterday ??
I'm so confused
After reading that, me too!

I have never heard that expression myself.
Fruity says Hows Biz, some say what's happening.

Still confused over the new shoes on the table. Must be an old superstition.

For some reason it's bad luck but I've no clue why it should be, I think perhaps you are right, it's an old superstition.

ahhhhhh here ya go Sweets
Jut looked it up

It may have something to do with death, and the idea of placing a new pair of shoes on the table would signify that someone had just died, or you would have bad luck for the rest of the day, quarrel with someone or lose your job. Even among people who are not superstitious, shoes can be associated with contamination.

Thank-you LQ. It is my superstitious hubby.
