hi jeanette its worse for hubby,he was supposed to start work at 5.00am ,but got in at 4.00,but hopefully he will finish early. Thanks for mentioning the central heating i hadnt even thought of that.i seem to be in a right pickle at the momment. If you have a digital timer,go to select,until time flashes,then you should be able to reset it. sharon

When you buy any clocks look at getting radio controlled ones. They reset themselves. They are quite cheap now ( £8 for a basic wall clock in argos), some videos will also do it. I hate this time change thing. Bob

We did it this spring - forgot to go forwards and turned up an hour late for rugby! My husband goes round last thing and alters all the clocks except the oven - he has no idea how that works!!! nell

I confused everyone in our house! We have a spare alarm clock in the bathroom (no we're not posh, nobody will use it because it ticks!) and I put it an hour forward by mistake. It was a mistake, honest!? Maggy

I'm always up by about 6am anyway but, woke up and looked at clockwhich read 6.15. Came downstairs and turned on t.v. to see that it was only 5.15. I'd have tried to stay another hour in bed otherwise.
