We have a new alarm clock! It’s very accurate and goes off bang on 5.30 each morning. No adjustment is possible for weekends.

The alarm pitch is set at that irritating level you cannot ignore. It works through doors and walls and literally keeps going until you react.

This alarm clock also moves so getting to shut it up takes effort, so you really are awake once you finally shut it up. It also has a snooze alarm and cannot be tricked. If you think you have shut it up, give it 5 mins and it starts again and can go for hours.

If you do manage to figure the off switch, watch out. It has a spring mechanism that if you leave it by the bed it starts bouncing around the room.

Where can you get one of these devices?? Get a cat!
