  • Odd post two above. Anyway I was just saying to my husband yesterday that it felt like the right time to turn clocks back now. The days do seem shorter this week so the season is changing now, makes more sense to turn our clocks back now rather than 3 weeks ago. All these years we've been cutting short our summers! Has been great to have the extra daylight time, more time to do things outdoors with the kids after work too.

  • Not sure what the previous post is on about....but all I know is that I live in Auckland, its the beginning of Easter weekend, the weather is glorious and the BBQ is coming out in about 30 mins time. I cant think of anything more horrible than for it to be getting dark had DS not been extended like it has. CHEERS UF!

  • Hi Quentin
    I'd loved to have spent more time with my cats too and a glass of wine to unwind with at the end of the day.
    But Peter Dunne doesn't think that my cats are important enough to even be fed.They come way down on the list of priorities as far as child support is concerned.
    Number one is the money that goes to the government.
    Number two is the ex wife.
    Number three is the child.
    Number four is to keep the paying parent as poor as possible.
    On the brighter side,dads have the choice between a length of rope or a bullet.
    By then it's time for the SPCA to intervene.

  • Well, for one thing I get to save two more weeks of power bill! (quoting Denise="y-e-a-h!!").

    Also the cool of evening is a good way to unwound the day with a chilled beer and a nice time with my cats and a good book (TV Ads infuriate me too much).

    Oh thanks to UF for the extra sanity time!

  • i am really happy to stave off for another two more weeks that inevitable depressing moment when the clocks get turned and you know winter is around the corner. That, coupled with the fact that Easter is early and the weather may behave for us ..... y-e-a-h!
