Further to "purdym".
The whole year can be scheduled positively with 12 lines in crontab (each of which fires on two days-of-the-month within each the calendar month number). With this approach you must only specify day-of-month and not mention day-of-week or the cron will fire incorrectly.

Btw. The method using the unix "cal" command is awesome. Depending on the requirement it may go wrong if Bank Holidays are not deemed Business Days. Otherwise it seems perfect.
