However did we manage before reminders on internet forums?
- Even earlier reminder: Christmas this year is on the 25th December - which happens to be a Friday.

For those who don't know it's always the last weekend in March and the last weekend in October - March date forwards, October one backwards.

"Spring Forward. Fall Back."
I had a moment of panic before heading to the airport yesterday - couldn't remember if the clocks in CH changed on the 22nd or this coming weekend. Thanks for the reminder.

The 'fall back' I manage to remember is October. Getting old I guess...

e.g. it would be Sat 24th as opposed to Sat 31st, when it falls as such.

This is so sad. I was in the U.S. when the clocks chaged on the 15th... Now I have to do it again. More darkness in the morning.  |

We go on hols on Sunday so get to move the clocks forward for two nights, then back again as we'll be in a different time zone.  |
