Havdalah on Wednesday

Question

I just remembered that I didn't hear Havdalah (woman). What should I do?

Answer

Shalom and blessings 

One who forgot or was prevented from performing Havdalah on Saturday night. 

Must perform Havdalah until Tuesday. 

After Tuesday, there is no way to make it up.
