[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 91541, member: 1991"] We've got the opposite problem down here - we changed to Daylight Saving on Sunday, which meant our 8 am departure for the train tracks was really 7 am. And of course, this morning... oh joy, oh rapture. Not! husband has got out of the habit of waking the kids, since easy child 2/difficult child 2 snarled at him a few times for waking them on their day off. BF2 had told me last night that he would get a lift with husband, but husband was already asleep and because my body is still adjusting, I didn't see him to tell him until he came to wake me to kiss me goodbye this morning. "Well, they're not up yet - and I can't wait for them," husband told me. He did wake the kids as he left. Turns out that easy child 2/difficult child 2 re-set all the clocks she had, but the one important one - her mobile phone. it's new. her old phone updated automatically, it took the time from the network. Blast - I was going out anyway, difficult child 3 had an appointment and I had to get a squeeze-in appointment with the nurse at the clinic too, so I was getting ready to drive BF2 to work. Turned out easy child 2/difficult child 2 would be able to drive him there, but it was a morning for everything going wrong. She had been planning to get a few necessary bits of paper printed for her work and now had no time. Then she went out the front of our place to load up the car, to find some ratbag kids wandering the streets had stolen her P plates (illegal for her to drive without any). She had to just drive off and take a chance. husband is going to put the plate holders from his car onto hers - that way easy child 2/difficult child 2 can take her P plates off at the end of each day and lock them inside the car. So even though we were organised, we got caught by Daylight Saving coming in. And in the drive to the eye doctor - I found that in all the rush and confusion (and major change in routine) difficult child 3 had not taken his medications. And he needed them on board for the tests, so we lost half an hour turning around and going back home. Not happy. I'm tired, hot, sweaty (heatwave today) and have a sore a*se because the clinic sister pumped 6 ml of antibiotic into it with a hollow crowbar. I think she was trying to beat the clock and get me out the door before lunch. And if I'm really lucky, I'll need another one in a few days' time. I really HATE the first working day of Summer Time!
