Clocks Back One Hour, How Are You Coping?

[Khandro]

It seems to be worse this year than ever before. I have my first drink by my own rule at 6:00pm, which is now the old 5:00pm, so at five, I find I'm gagging. The dog can't understand why I'm now taking her out for her morning walk at the old 8:30 am instead of 7:30 am and also why her food is always late.
I ask, because it's 5:30 here and I'm really ready for a beer.

[Mamyalynne]

I've adjusted OK as I normally do - not noticed anything untoward.

[Eleena]

Have a beer Khandro. Your body clock will soon adjust.

[ummmm]

It hasn't made any difference to me.

[whiskeryron]

It is high time the clocks were left alone & not messed with twice a year.

[Prudie]

I'm not quite there yet, mainly because I haven't got round to changing my watch or the clock in my car.

[Tilly2]

Apart from Tilly's tummy rumbling at 5.30pm instead of 6.30pm, it hasn't really affected me.

[Mamyalynne]

Good point Prudie, I still have my wall clock to do.

If I'm not back in half an hour send help.

[bookbinder]

I have no problem with the one hour change, but I do not like the dark evenings that go with it. I'm not surprised that some people get depressed at this time of year. Time for another G + T, I think.

[Khandro]

Eleena, Thanks for the thought, but it's all very well saying have beer, but I might end up drinking for an extra hour each evening and that might lead me to rack and ruin.
Ah well, only 12 minutes to go :0)

[Tilly2]

Ten minutes now...:-)

[Mamyalynne]

Done - enjoy your beer Khandro.

[Peter Pedant]

I am now getting up at 0800
the dogs fret and feel obliged to come and tell me that the dog walker is late ! ( and therefore eek they may not get a walk At All !)

[Eleena]

Ha- ha , enjoy your drink Khandro & anyone else having one x

I have two toddlers and a pre-schooler and I dread the clocks changing. It took a weeks this time and we are back to 6.00am starts. The 5.00am ones this last week were a killer.

[Cloverjo]

I find it easier now, but like Meglet says, it's hard when you have little ones. It takes ages to adjust.

[Eleena]

Hadn't thought of how it affects others meglet. My daughter has no doubt had the same with my granddaughter.
