Answer 1

Perhaps.  However, it is not the most likely.  Good lucck!!!

Answer 2

According to the Royal Mail website they aim to deliver 2nd class post by the third working day after posting

If they abide by their own rules, it should be there at the latest on Wednesday

2nd class post costs less but it takes longer, if you need something in a hurry it's better to pay a little extra & have it sent 1st class - they aim to deliver 1st class within one working day after posting so if you're CD was sent 1st class it should arrive by Monday

Answer 3

if this posted b4 5pm on monday it should arrive wednesday
