Early tax credits this week? (England)

Did you get your tax credits early this week? Mine went in on Saturday (not due until Tuesday) but I'm not sure why. Anyone else? and anyone know why?

    I believe it's because it's a bank holiday in Scotland on monday. My tax credits were due monday but were in my account on friday.

    I guess I can live with that. I wish they wouldn't do it, it's so hard not to spend it early!
