Silly little child?s game really 😀 I always say that when I lose, my wife says!
The object is to pinch and punch (lightly off course – unless you have just had a row – he he) your partner on the first of the month before she/he does it to you. It can be anytime after midnight on the last day of the month. You have to say at the time "Pinch punch first of the month – no returns" And I have always understood that it had to be before 12 midday to count although this rule does not apply everywhere, see Dai's post. Your partner can retaliate up until you say "no returns" so it has to be done and said real quick otherwise they can get in with their "Pinch Punch" and you lose. Sometimes the wife and I have chased each other around the bedroom trying "to complete" – Can be real fun!!!!!!;-)
Kindest regards – Vasbyte
