Ok maybe i'm being a bit thick it is past my bedtime :o but does this mean my wages due to go into the bank on the 30th will now not be there until 2nd? If so why as the banks aren't closed on that day? And if i use my card over the weekend will it still put an immediate hold on whatever i spend?

I'd say your salary will be in your bank account tomorrow. Whenever the day I get paid falls on a weekend, it's in my account on the Friday. Your employer would need to submit the payroll file to bank a few days before payment date anyway.
