    I love this time of year, its my farvourie time, and i look forward to the clocks changing as I love the nights setting in earlier. Its a great excuse for snuggling up on the couch.

  • I keep 12 hour shifts too. Days this weekend.

    But like all the years previously, I come in 30 minutes earlier to take the watch.

    30 mins extra each.

    Aww congratulations! me and dh are out for ours tom night..can't wait!!
  • I don't like it when the clocks change either direction. It messes with our meal times. We all want to eat at the wrong time, and we seem to lose a lot of time looking at the clocks and trying to work out what time it "really is"

    I love love love it!

    I bloody LOVE the winter. Snuggly nights in, the fire going and so on... As someone else said earlier, I too think I have the opposite of SAD. I bloomin HATE the summer....
    You lied to me Edward. There IS a Swansea. And other places.....

    this is the first time in 3 years ive not been working a night shift when the clocks go back, i work as a nurse and going round at 2 to change all the clocks and then 're-living' an hour of the shift is torture, and last year payroll tryed to say they wouldnt pay me for that extra hour
