Well that's interesting. I can't tell you how many times I have seen posted that adsense doesn't issue payments on the weekends - which is another reason why I am glad that I joined these forums here. Reading your posts give me hope that maybe I can squeeze in a little Christmas shopping before Christmas. Actually my own experience with adsense and the relation to them paying on the weekends - the closest I have ever gotten is when the PIP showed in my account on a Thursday but I wasn't actually able to spend the money until Saturday - which I thought was weird but I was just glad to have the money! Dare we hope that we could actually have a PIP even though it won't show until Monday? Please, please, please.................................................................
