Do you also say "Satdee" (['sætdi:]) for "Saturday" as in Australian 
English?

I always love hearing "Saturday afternoon" pronounced "Satdee arvo" ([sætdi: 
'a:vEU]).

Let's see ... Australians, am I getting the following right?

Monday: Mundee ['mandi:]
Tuesday: Choozdee ['tSu:zdi:]
Wednesday: Wenzdee ['wEnzdi:]
Thursday: Thu(r)zdee ['θø:zdi:]
Friday: Fridee ['frAIdi:]
Saturday: Satdee ['sætdi:]
Sunday: Sundee ['sandi:]

But "day" is not pronounced "dee" in other contexts; it's pronounced close 
to "die" [dA%I], hence also "holiday" ['hOlidA%I].  "Day" in the days of the 
week can have this pronunciation too in some dialects and when stressed or 
enunciated "well."

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
