when you have a dog with reflux (in this instance an excess of bile caused by an empty stomach) an hour can mean the difference between throwing up and being ok.

Its not often probally every couple of months, I also suffer some times especially if i eat pastry or warm cakes out of the oven.

The couple stopped putting their clocks back five years ago when they realised the darker and shorter days were triggering John's headaches.
Living on British Summer Time all year round meant his headache's eased, they could enjoy an extra hour of daylight and save money.
Janys, 69, said: "We have lower fuel bills and far more usable daylight hours with evenings not seeming endless.
"We don't put the heating on until we get up and by then it is warmer anyway. We've saved about one third on our heating and lighting bills.
The decision was made when John, a retired general manager of a refurbishment company, started to suffer severe headaches - sometimes up to eight a day. Experts believe changes in the body's biological clock can trigger neurological pain.
John said: "I was receiving palliative care and being given morphine in hospital to reduce the pain.
"Then Janys heard someone who suffered from the same thing went to Australia, did not change his clocks, and did not have an episode.
"We decided not to change our clocks and it worked for me as well. It has eased my headaches - but more than that, we just found that being an hour ahead worked for us."
On a typical day, the couple who have six grandchildren get up at 8.30am 'their time' - 7.30am in 'our' time - and go to bed at 11pm, which is 10pm for the rest of the UK.
John said: "It just a far more pleasant way to live through the winter. You get far more daylight and you don't get endless dark evenings.
As a result of their clock change, the combined gas and electricity bill for their three-bed semi-detached home is just £900 a year.
I don't understand how it lowers the bills if you are up an hour later than you would have been?
Anyone tempted to give this a try?

Re: Don't PUt Your Clocks Back?
I have been doing this for years Ania, but it doesn't save you any money, you have to be very careful you don't miss an appointment and look at your clocks differently.The only energy it saves is your energy changing the clocks, and being clock enthusiast it saves me time.
