Don't forget to put your clocks back!

If someone can successfully explain to my kids that they need to stay in bed an extra hour then you have my eternal gratitude!

Clearly not teenagers then. It is a mission to get our son up every day.

Apparently the Grand kids are staying here tonight

 

so - a 5 year old and a 1 year old have to be told NOT to wake us up for an extra hour

 

any suggestions welcome

Earplugs

Earplugs

 

And blackout blinds.

 

(Actually serious about this one - we couldn’t have survived without our baa baa blackout blinds - worth their weight in gold)

Too late for this year, but have you considered emigration?

Result - 5 Year old was carefully instructed on the concept and mechanics of the clocks going back

 

At 8:22 (old time) she ran into our room (whoever came up with the term 'patter of tiny feet' didn't have kids) and shook me saying

 

'pops pops my clock says 8'

 

which is at least better than usual

 

and anyway - turned out the 1 year old was already awake and standing up in his cot so he would have started crying to be let out soon

 

 

I think the concept of emigration has merits

An easy way to remember which way the clocks go in Autumn

 

 

[ADMaster]

Your definition of easy and mine differ a bit.

 

Spring forward and fall back.

No argument there. I use the same mnemonic and posted this one for its humour value.

It might be the last time they do!

The clocks go back on Sunday, 28 October, bringing an end to British Summertime and ushering in longer nights – as well as an extra hour of sleep. However, if EU plans are accepted, the bi-annual confusion of daylight saving times will soon be a thing of the past.

 

In September, the European Commission published a proposal to end seasonal time changes across the continent. If it becomes law, it means clock-tweaking will be stopped as soon as 2019. Clocks would go forward again on the last Sunday in March, and countries would have the option to turn them back in October. After that, there’d be no more changes.

 

The move has a great deal of support across Europe. A public consultation found 84 per cent of citizens across all 28 member states were in favour of putting an end to bi-annual time change. The consultation had the highest number of responses ever received in any European Commission public consultation: 4.6 million people.

Remains to be seen. The idea has been mooted on many occasions in the past.

It's that time of year again: The clocks go back tomorrow morning.

[mikeprice]

Now I have to remember which version of the Vulcan Nerve grip I need to sort out the oven clock in the morning!

 

 

and at some point I will have to work out how to sneak a minute in the sister-in-law's kitchen alone and reset hers

 

not thatthey ever notice - but I can;t sit with my back to their oven EVERY time

Don't forget: Clocks go back one hour in 7 hours!
