I cannot change to my Halloween nickname.

[SarahStratton]

It says ScarahStratton is already in use. It is, by ME. Why can't I change back to it? :(



PS I missed the webchat about PARDing and YPMYSLAA, and I am vair sad about that, can we have another one soon, please.

[OliviaPeaceAndLoveMumsnet]

Perhaps it's because it is FAR too early for Hallowe'en name changes.

[SarahStratton]

:(

Would you ask Tech if he could get me my name back, pretty please with shiny bells on?

[OliviaPeaceAndLoveMumsnet]

@SarahStratton

THIS, right here, is why one (not pointing the finger at you, Stratters) should not FLOUNCE.

Is the chocolate low carb?

[HecateHarshPants]

I had some fab names and then deregistered in a big mardy strop and lost them all.

They did give me hecate back but neglected to tell me that if I namechanged, I wouldn't be able to change back again and so when i tried to change back to hecate after a seasonal namechange, it told me I couldn't.

[IvorHughJanus]

Me too Hecate. We are FOOLS.

[DameFannyGallopsAtaGhost]

I have never de-regged and have a full wardrobe of aliases available to me [smug]

But they still won't give me PerArdua even though no-one else has ever used it

[ZombTEE]

Olivia, my sweet, while you're around...

As you can see, I've already dressed up.

Wouldn't it look lovely if there were Hallowe'en smiles to go with it?



That needs a hat. Like, yesterday.

Please? [puppy dog eyes]

[IamtheZombie]

Doesn't HQ have Halloween smilies in stock already? Zombie is sure she remembers them from last year.

[SheelaNeGig]

I never deregistered. Not even when i flounced

I have about 400 names I don't need though.

[IvorHughJackolantern]

It is not a proper flounce without a deregistration. My lack of alternative nns shows my commitment to mardy flounciness. Although the fact that I have returned, naked and unadorned by witty nicknames, sort of undermines my argument...

[DameFannyGallopsAtaGhost]

[hgrin]

Testing...

[DameFannyGallopsAtaGhost]

[harse]

[ZombTEE]

They are in stock, but they turn them off when it's not the holiday, Zombie.

Otherwise Dame's test there would have worked.

They are vair vair mean about turning them on, too.

[not the way to get them to do something you want emoticon]

[SarahStratton]

I flounced.

I did it properly, and deregged. :(

I didn't make a great hue and cry, just slipped quietly out of the back door, and went.

Is that why I can't change into Scarah? Cos I was a stroppy caah.

And wtf is low carb chocolate, and more to the point, why?

[IvorHughJackolantern]

Ah, probs why then if you de-regged between the last time you were Scarah and now.

I'm re-reading Rivals at the moment, have just got to the bit where you have a 'tit fault' on Rupe's tennis court!

[OliviaPeaceAndLoveMumsnet]

There is no such thing as low carb chocolate really
I am doing low carb boot camp lite to get into me LBD by xmas as have been eating all my builders' biscuits over the summer.
It is WAAAAAY too early for halloween hats
We have MY BIRTHDAY first don't forget people.

[pepperrabbit]

Will we get party hats for that?

[CouthyMowWearingOrange]

It is October. I tried yesterday to do a Halloween smiley. It didn't work. I got grumpy.

I'm still pondering my Halloween NC costume - can't use last year's as I have NC'd since.

Can't think of one for CouthyMow. Which is crap, because last year I came up with some spiffing Halloween NC's for other MN'ers, and this year my inspiration has deserted me.

Probably because I am STILL FLIPPING ILL.

[ZombTEE]

It is never to early for hats.

Besides, we could squint and pretend they are birthday hats? Maybe?

[SHRIIIEEEKPoolingBearBlood]

I don't understand why if you're given a name back, why you then can't nc and nc back? Is it a case of once its gone its gone

[OliviaPeaceAndLoveMumsnet]

@SHRIIIEEEKPoolingBearBlood

Is it a case of once its gone its gone

Indeed it is.

There are technical reasons behind this which were explained to me round about the time of the last nickname amnesty in 2006 but I have since wiped them from my memory as doing much more recall regarding the nickname amnesty does make me curl up foetal style.

Just don't flounce. Simples.

[SarahStratton]

But I want my ScarahStratton name back :(

[CouthyMowWearingOrange]

I have never flounced. Mostly just slunk off quietly, and come back within days. I am CouthyMow, and I am a MNaholic.

Mostly because I have no life luffs you all.

[ExitPursuedByAaaaaarGhoul]

Warning.

Never flounce.

Just go quietly.

And then return.
