    Hey Beanie
    My usual time for getting up is 630am BUT when my parents went on holiday in the middle of November I started getting up at 6am so I could get myself organized and prepare my dinner for the evening ready to cook. However they came back just as the snow got really heavy and I had to bus it to work for 3 out of 4 weeks and ended up doing that until we finished up for Christmas. Hit the wrong button on the alarm and set the 6am instead of the 630am. I have changed it now though - extra half hour may just help in the morning :D
