An interesting concept but it's been done before, in revolutionary France. They did it better as well because they added three new days so the first day of the week took longer to come round. The days were:
Primidi
Duodi
Tridi
Quartidi
Quintidi
Sextidi (my favourite)
Septidi
Octidi
Nonidi
Decadi
This also provides intriguing envidence that a least one Brummy was at the very top of French Revolutionary leaders. Primidi should of course have been spelt Primiday but Brummy pronounciation led to the mis-spelling by French co-revolutionaries.

Thingism will have as much success as the French revolutionaries - be remembered by a few as a funny but hopeless idea.

I think we should stick to Thing and co. because they have some deeper meaning, and are not just numbers followed by "day"
