Ahoy.
Just a reminder to everyone to put your clocks back an hour on Sunday.
For some that means an extra hour sleep, for others an extra hour clubbing | | The following 4 users would like to thank Natasha for this useful post: | |

I have been known in the past to not change the time, thus effectively being on time for work for a few months |

Not really
But seriously, it is so much easier to get up in Summer than it is in Winter.

Thanks for telling, in-laws are in the UK, must keep it in mind when phoning this Sunday night.
We (Can & US) only do the extra hour next (4th) weekend.

Here's a good reminder whether to forward the clock or put back the clock:
In the fall: The clock falls back one hour
In the spring: The clock springs forward one hour
So the next time you hear that daylight savings is coming up soon, you know whether to put the clock forwards or backwards. | | This user would like to thank ElJeFe for this useful post: | |

Or the even simpler version which I was taught.
Spring forward, Fall back

Thanks for the reminder! I could use an extra hour this weekend!
But I must complain about the phrase "spring forward, fall back".... How does that make any more sense than "fall forward, spring back"? |
