I've been caught out with thsi before. Couple of years ago I went to work an hour early. Last night I stayed up very late thinking of the extra hour in bed. Unfortunately the wee one had all the sleep she needed so I've lost three hours kip instead of having an extra one :(:disapprove:

On my soapbox again but don't you all reckon its time get rid of turning the clocks back lark? Think it was originally to help farmers during the war but nowadays seems more accidents happen roundabout this time of year,

We remembered. But our frikking cats didn't read any papers, or watch any TV yesterday, so they didn't have a clue about it. They were up wailing for breakfast at 7.30 instead of 8.30. Even the shoe I threw at them from a great distance didn't deter them in their quest to feed.

B*stards.

maybe some on you are to young to remember. Back in the 70's they didn't put the clocks back and it mean't that the kids had to walk to the school when it was still a good bit dark. Mind ou how many kids walk to school nowadays. Me I had to walk 2 miles to catch the bus in the morning and in the evening in all weathers.

Why don't they just change the School opening times in winter then!?!!

The kids at my school are confused enough keeping the times constant year in year out, i'd never see them if we did that - hey might be onto something.... "Dear Mr McConnell...."
