I usually get paid straight into my bank on a tuesday. I have been paid on tuesday this week, but what will happen next tuesday, as it is a bank holiday ??

I wronlgy assumed it would be payed in today as that is what has happened in the past, but it hasn't been and i am now very very overdrawn and dread to think how much i am gonna be charged.

Thanks

I was wondering exactly the same and I have just checked my account and it hasn't gone in, I remember last year I received 2 payments in one go. I normally get mine on a Monday, I am hoping it will be there tomorrow, I need it

Thanks

golds, give them a ring to check might be a good idea. they'll be able to look at your account and tell you exactly when it's going in. Christmas eve does seem a bit last minute doesn't it. not only that the shops'll be rammed

Just phoned them - I get paid on a Monday so - I will receive it tomorrow, then next weeks will be paid on the 30th instead of 3rd Jan HTH

Thanks

Ahh right well i should get my child benefit on the 3rd so at least i should get that early.

Tuesday next week is also a bank holiday according to my diary so i should get my wftc tommorow too.

Think i'm gonna get charged 75 quid for being overdrawn though so that will swallow that up sharpish.

I wish I could go and will the lottery or something, this year has been a real struggle and for me has put a damper on things. Well I have to work tomorrow, so I'm hoping that will get me in the mood a bit, if that doesn't nothing will.
