I thought about this for a second and realized that there's another
aspect involved: no-one will ask "Can I move my S day" because they 
have
another day on which they want to eat *less* S-food; it'll always be a
move to be able to eat more. In this case, I assume the original poster
will use S-day privileges fuller on Friday evening than Sunday evening.

There's nothing inherently wrong with that, except that I think it
might be worthwhile to sit back and ask whether or not that is
compatible with the reasons one is doing no-S in the first place. 
Me, I would love to be able to go and have a date square midweek, (there
are few better date squares than at one local coffee shop here), and I
would happily trade Sunday evening for that because I rarely have
sweets Sunday evenings -- but that tradeoff is *why* no-S works for
me, so I don't.
