oh, thanks Tracy for reminding us, which usually means i go to bed at some really stupid time and feel twice as bad in the morning,
Poroneiti
Here in Finland we turn our clocks back too. Does the forum turn clock back automaticly or do we have to do it by ourselves?

You have to do it in your control panel, I think, I'm fairly sure that's what I did when they went forward in the spring...

go to 'board settings' and uncheck the 'daylight savings' option wink.gif

oh, and then you have to press "change my account options"
Tracey D

I was out at the uni halloween 'do when the clocks went back - so as opposed to it finishing at 2am, theoretically it went onto 3am. woohoo!

dee

I already procrastinated 2 hours of work with the excuse to have a one-hour longer night [rolleyes]

One hour more to sleep. it's great. For me is the change in springtime harder. of course I must get up earlier. The weekend they changed the clock in springtime, I forgot it totely. Normaly on sunday no problem, but I visited an meditation course this weekend. I was so proud to be in time there, as I thougt. Wondering while all people are already sit there in deep meditation, wondering also why the meditation teatcher send me an smile as I sit down. It need two hours till I regionized that I had missed the change to the sommertime, so now that can't happend luckely, only that I am one hour to early.

atroi
[biggrin.gif]great story, sunshine....just imagining bringing hectic into a meditation course by coming too late.....[lol]
Darkangel
Huh, an extra hour in bed, I wish..... I was awake with the larks this morning!  I was at the yard with the ponies at 7.30am, crazy I know, but it's made the day go much further - it's not even lunchtime yet!

Beautiful day too I might add!
Poroneiti
Ah, 12-hour sleep last night. I'm so happy now [happy.gif]

Some how managed to put the clock(s) forward, instead of backwards. Resulted in being two hours early for Flick's flight home. Smoooooooth...
Flick
[lol] yup.... Resulted in me having a jetlag... [ph34r]

Anyway its better to be early then late for the flight [lol]
millan

Tracey D
Problem was I got loads of sleep saturday night, couldn't get to sleep early sunday night and had to be up at 6.15am monday morning, so spent all of monday feeling really tired!

Nice trick to remember it FB!

Smooth indeed, depriving me from those hours of sleep [wink.gif] But at least we were on time...

For everyone in the US, clocks move forward at 2 AM Sunday.  Also some devices (computers, cell phones, etc) may or may not make the switch automatically.  This article explains more.

I was breaking out in a sweat Jazzo, because I always forget to reset the clocks! Pff this is USA only: I think in Europe it's the last weekend of April and October, but then again I'm not very reliable on the issue of time. I live in my own special time [wink.gif]

atroi
isn´t it at the end of march, sadie??  It has to be at springtime...and spring starts on March 21st
flechesbleues
My calendar has British Summer Time starting on the 25th of March, in two weeks. [smile.gif]
Val
Ah flip I see all of us whose clocks aren't going back for another 2 weeks have to change the forum clock now and back again then.

Oh goodness, you're right, I hadn't noticed that.  

Val
I thought I was going mad when I saw people had posted at 11.30 and it was only 11.15 here [lol]
millan
we change the clock an hour forwards here in sweden at sunday 25th. I dunno if it's the night to sunday or monday.. is it the same for the uk ?
Val
Its the 24th/25th so that's the Saturday/Sunday. Yeah I think its the same for most of Europe, the Uk and Ireland I know for sure.
me28

Same for the continent so I reckon Sweden too.

I really was thinking when this thread was active that I'd missed it and therefore missed out another justified hour in bed today [lol][ph34r]

Val
I hate to be the one to inform you on this issue but erm, the clock's are going forward which really means LESS sleep not more!

ooops [ph34r] I am currently suffering from the 'brain of a frozen fishfinger'-syndrom, my appologies. But ta! this is all so confusing, and I have to pick people up at the airport the 25th good thing I now know to be on time...

I think in conclusion you, Femke and I are useless when it comes to the clocks going back and forth [biggrin.gif
millan
hahahahaha
MoonAndMe
Oooorrr... if she loses an hour of sleep, then she justifies an extra hour in bed. [wink.gif]
Tracey D
Don't forget they go FORWARD an hour tonight in the UK (and Europe?), go and change your clocks, watches etc now!
Val
I miss my hour of sleep, I want it back [sad.gif] [lol]
Tracey D
I was going to sleep later but Sundays always seem to be a day I have things to do so that didn't happen!
Tracey D
I don't know about the rest of the world but the clocks go back an hour tonight in the UK, so we get an extra hours sleep tonight! don't forget to change clocks, watches etc
Anyz
Again? huh.gif

So now we're four hours behind... happy.gif

Tracey D
It's that time of year again, don't forget to turn your clocks back one hour tonight!
