Q: Variables in a file path

I have a working script that creates a folder each week and labels it with the day and the month eg. "...files/17Jan/"

I now would like the same script to follow on and open a word template and save it to that folder - the problem is the folder name changes each time. 

How do I specify a file path which includes a variable previously calculated eg...

 

set d to current date

repeat

  set w to (weekday of d) as number

  if w = 1 then exit repeat

  set d to d + (1 * days)

end repeat

d

set dayname to {day} of d as string

set monthname to {month} of d

dayname & monthname as string


in the following ...


set mydoc to "/Users/iona/Dropbox/lbc services joint folder/Service Running Schedule - DO NOT DELETE!!!!!.dotx"

tell application "Microsoft Word"

activate

open mydoc

save as active document file name "/Users/iona/Dropbox/lbc services joint folder/daynamemonthname/Service running schedule"

close active document

end tell


Thanks in anticipation
