Diana Here in Yorkshire it's left out, right in. Taking in to account the time of year I think it's more likely you're going to be shelling out! Jeanette x

Found this on Google.... absolutely no help whatsoever!! :O) This is one of the Old Wives' Tales that is dependent on where you live on what right or left means. Yes, it may even be dependent on what your family branch believes! A quirky thing about superstitions about Old Wives' Tales and superstitions is that one region may believe one way but a neighboring area may twist it or not believe in the saying at all. The one I have often heard is that if the right palm itches, that you will have money coming your way. If the left palm itches, you will be paying out money - having it go away. My mother-in-law was taught the left hand meant you were coming into money, and the right meaning you would be paying out money. The money being paid out portion is hazy on what it refers to or appears open to interpretation. This could mean an unexpected debt coming your way, a loss of money or material items, or that the current financial situation will remain the same or feeling tighter.
