   I'm using this script for making just one of my categories show on each day of the week;

   <?php global $query_string;
   query_posts( $query_string . "&order=ASC" ); ?>
   <?php $today = date('N');
   if( $today == 1 ) : query_posts( 'cat=6' ); { ?>
   <?php } elseif( $today == 2 ) : query_posts( 'cat=5' ); { ?>
   <?php } elseif( $today == 3 ) : query_posts( 'cat=7' ); { ?>
   <?php } elseif( $today == 4 ) : query_posts( 'cat=9' ); { ?>
   <?php } elseif( $today == 5 ) : query_posts( 'cat=10' ); { ?>
   <?php } elseif( $today == 6 ) : query_posts( 'cat=8' ); { ?>
   <?php } elseif( $today == 7 ) : query_posts( 'cat=11' ); { ?>
   <?php } ?>
   <?php endif; ?>

   I show 1 post/page, the count of posts is right, so if the category has 5 posts I can see 5 pages, but with the same post on every page, can someone please help me with this?

   Try:

   <?php
   $today = date('N') ;
   if( $today == 1 )  $my_cat = '&cat=6';
   elseif( $today == 2 )  $my_cat = '&cat=5';
   elseif( $today == 3 ) $my_cat = '&cat=7';
   elseif( $today == 4 ) $my_cat = '&cat=9';
   elseif( $today == 5 ) $my_cat = '&cat=10';
   elseif( $today == 6 ) $my_cat = '&cat=8';
   elseif( $today == 7 ) $my_cat = '&cat=11';
   else $my_cat = '';
   query_posts( $query_string . $my_cat . '&order=ASC' ) ;'
   ?>

   With your original code, are the posts shown in the categories? If so, add this above your global $query_string but within the php code:
   if ( get_query_var('paged') ) {
   $paged = get_query_var('paged');
   } elseif ( get_query_var('page') ) {
   $paged = get_query_var('page');
   } else {
   $paged = 1;
   }

   And change: query_posts( $query_string . "&order=ASC" );
   to: query_posts( $query_string . "&order=ASC&paged=$paged" );

   It still doesn't work in index see this page, it's the same problem as the whole time, it shows 5 posts (in 5 pages) but the post is the same on every page.

   <?php if ( get_query_var('paged') ) {
   $paged = get_query_var('paged');
   } elseif ( get_query_var('page') ) {
   $paged = get_query_var('page');
   } else {
   $paged = 1;
   }
   global $query_string;
   query_posts( $query_string . "&order=ASC&paged=$paged" ); ?>
   
   <?php $today = date('N');
   if( $today == 1) : query_posts( 'cat=10' ); { ?>
   <?php } elseif( $today == 2 ) : query_posts( 'cat=5' ); { ?>
   <?php } elseif( $today == 3 ) : query_posts( 'cat=7' ); { ?>
   <?php } elseif( $today == 4 ) : query_posts( 'cat=9' ); { ?>
   <?php } elseif( $today == 5 ) : query_posts( 'cat=6' ); { ?>
   <?php } elseif( $today == 6 ) : query_posts( 'cat=11' ); { ?>
   <?php } elseif( $today == 7 ) : query_posts( 'cat=8' ); { ?>
   <?php } ?>
   
   <?php endif; ?>

   with your conditional query_posts, you are overwriting the first query_posts code;

   try in each of these lines to replace:
   if( $today == 1) : query_posts( 'cat=10' );
   with:
   if( $today == 1) : query_posts( $query_string . "&order=ASC&paged=$paged&cat=10" );
