Remember to put your clocks forward tonight!

British Summer Time starts at 1am in the morning... remember to put your clocks forward before going to bed Oh humm... an hours less sleep!

This has to be the worst part of Spring... but worth it to get lighter evenings

Thanks for the reminder Jen x

I'm off to do it now because I know I'll forget!:lol:

What makes it even worse is it is the start of the F1 season and we are getting up early to watch it live - we have to get up an hour earlier than we had first thought LOL.

I have never really understood why we have the time changes. What would happen if we didnt do it? Do all countries do it?

We do it in Spain, and I believe they call it 'daylight saving' in USA/Canada but theirs is a different day as far as I know.

Found this on Wiki... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time

Thanks for that link Sandi.. it was very interesting.

I have bought my little lad a digital wall clock today as he knows he hasn't to get up before 7am on a Saturday and Sunday and 6am during the week. It adjusts to BST automatically... so hopefully he won't be waking me too early in the morning if he looks at the time hehe....

yep, we have daylight savings here in New Zealand as well. Ours ends in the next couple of weeks as our summer is finished. Can never remember which way to move the clock. Think we wind back an hour.?

I always remember it by saying 'Spring Foward, Fall Back'
It's an 'Americanism' but it helps me to remember which way the clocks are supposed to go

Well I text two clients last night to 'remind' them about BST starting. The one client I didn't (as I thought she wouldn't need a reminder) showed up an hour late this afternoon for her appointment lol!

I just my 8pm client turns up at 8 and not 9 sigh! :lol:
