Can I expect any bad effects from adding (accidentally) approx 10% (6

They will mix just fine, and it will have no adverse effects on
your car (it's a diesel, how much worse can it get anyway??).

Wasn't adding a small amount of petrol to diesel a trick used in very cold
weather anyway?

Yes - this is a perennial problem which appears on NGs from time to time.
Petrol into diesel is not usually a problem.
I can't remember the percentage but I have at least one car manual which
recommends mixing petrol in with diesel in cold winters to prevent waxing.
And it doesn't clog the carburettor or foul the plugs :-)

As stated elsewhere diesel into petrol is a whole different ball game!
