The Magic of Daylight Saving Time

What do you normally do with your extra hour in Autumn when the clocks go back? Do you savour the hour on Saturday evening or on Sunday morning?

See, me, I’m a Saturday evening kind of girl. I like to take that extra hour the night before because I don’t really see how it works in my favour the following day. I have kids, and even if I was a fan of lie-ins, I wouldn’t be able to do that for very long. Besides, I go to worship on Sunday mornings. I’m up early anyway.

On Saturday evenings before the clocks go back my husband and I gleefully go around the house changing all the time pieces. We do this just after 11 p.m (even though the change doesn’t officially come into effect until 2 a.m) because somehow, this gives us a false impression that we’ve cheated time in some bizarre way.

For the next two days or so he – my husband – will be saying, ‘but your body thinks it’s an hour earlier so we should do this or that.’ I don’t think of it in that way at all. Do you? Once Saturday night is gone, the magic is gone for me.

I’m already planning what to do with my extra hour tonight. I’m going to make sure it does not involve anything with a laptop perched on my lap. There will be no Facebook, no Twitter, no StumbleUpon, no Blogging.

When you see me next, I would’ve had a leisurely extra hour doing something just for me. How about you?

And how do you remember if the clocks go backward or forward? Someone (an American) once told me this and it stuck; ‘Spring – forward. Fall (Autumn) – backward.’ Easy, right?

Update on Book Launch

After much ado, I've finally released the first of four self-help books. I’ve already researched and written them all, and plan to launch them every quarter.

This first release is called, ‘How to Sp£nd L€ss’ and is currently published as an e-book on Smashwords.

As many of you know, I’ve spent four years of active research uncovering well-kept secrets which will help the average family spend less on food shopping, household bills, entertainment, large purchases and arbitrary outgoings. I’ve acid-proofed all the examples given in this book so you don't have to do any of the hard work.

I hope you'll have a look at it and tell one friend about it too. Download it for free or pay what you want at this link this link. This is a limited offer, so get it while you can.

I’ve also started a Facebook fan page called I know 'How to Sp£nd L€ss' and still live well. Feel free to join in, and if you know just one other person who may benefit from this book, invite them to come along too. Thanks for your continued support.
