The question is simple but I'm b*****ed if I can find the answer.

The time/date on my laptop (right hand bottom corner) has decided to add
the day. It used to be:-

13.05
20/12/2014

now:-

13.05
Saturday
20/12/2014

Which has made the icon bar go to double height. I've not altered anything
- and can't find out how to get rid of the day - which even at my age
usually know what it is.

My other three computers running Win7 omit the day. And I've not altered
anything on the laptop deliberately - it was ok up until last week.

I think it's the other way around ... you've made the task bar taller,
so the clock has noticed it now has space to put the day in.

If the taskbar is locked, then right click it and untick lock (but if it
was locked you probably wouldn't manage to make it taller by accident)
then grab the top border of the task bar and drag it lower.

Possibly:

Change date and time:Change calendar Settings: If short date is
dddd/MM/yyyy it will display day as well. no idea how it might have
changed though!

But there is that thing that unhides hidden things as well, and since I
clicked that once, I too have the day now. Not particularly worried about
it, but I did notice, and the system has its taskbars locked, but i suspect
they unlock momentarily when you unhide things to see if anything important
needs to be moved to the visible bit.

I've no idea how I managed to pull it to double height. ;-)

Right click on it and select "properties", It tells you how to change the

Its in the settings. Click on that display, change date and time settings,
Change date and time, Change calendar settings, it’s the long date,
delete the dddd entry.

- which even at my age usually know what it is.

Nar, it’s a system wide setting, nothing to do with the systray itself.

By adding another thing to the taskbar so it wont fit in the single height
anymore.

Think most would have noticed if it happened after doing that. I would.
