That's why I put it on 'Events' on the calendar some time back. So people wouldn't forget.

But it's under tomorrows date because the change takes place at 0200hrs.

My computer clock reset itself automatically, but my bedside clock that gets a signal to keep it accurate---didn't! But I thought it had, so I was very confused when I awoke! Thanks for the headsup Cristina, otherwise I would have been totally out of it today (and maybe even tomorrow too!)

My OH, who is currently in Spain, did at least have the decency to leave calling me until 9.30 a.m. today! I was still asleep!

There was a bit of confusion about this in my house. My OH said they went BACK so we were all excited about having another hour, but then we realised after the computer clock insisted on going forward, that we had actually "lost" an hour Frowner.

I wish we would lose an hour of Monday instead of Sunday Roll Eyes.

Just remember: spring back, fall forward.

I prefer to spring back and fall forward. My retired life schedule seems to work better that way.

My radio controlled clock finally fixed the hour sometime between Sunday and Monday. I was worried there for a while, because you can't hand set it.

This is your heads up for changing the batteries in your smoke alarm or carbon monoxide alarm, too.
