You don't have to pack bag provided you plan properly. If you can post your documents/application before 3rd Jan
by Royal Mail you will be fine. 3rd Jan is Sunday that means you have to post your application and documents by 2nd Jan anyhow. Since you want to include December 09 salary, you have to work under very tight timelines. You should start collecting all your documents except December payslips +bank statements which you can get from bank once salary is in account. Same goes with payslips too. If you get proper payslips then fine else you need to get it sign and stamped as well.
Except December payslips +bank statement, you can get all documents and keep them "completely" ready. All you will then need on 2nd Jan is to inlcude December paylslip+Bank Statement and post the application.
Drop a request to your bank for signed and stamped statement(stating you will need statement on short notice) so that they don't make much fuss on last minute. Sometime employer also transfer your salary early to make sure you meet the timelines of your visa renewal. You can try your employer as well.
You can use some of the template from
this link. This should give you jumpstart to organise you application and information.

I have been careless and im only to blame( been sick with flu this month). My HSMP is expiring on the 3rd of Jan 2010 which is a Sunday. And I am only eligible for Tier 1 extension if I were to include Dec09's payslip (I will be claiming for Jan 09-Dec 09) and bank statement which comes with a big bonus which gives me enough points to pass.
Can you please tell me if i make an application on the 4th jan 2010 either in person or by same day courier, would the home office accept this?
Or should i start packing my bag?
