I suspect we all spend a fair bit of time wondering about one another's handles. Does ilovesooty live in a house full of Sooty puppets? How deep is her love? Etc

My current username is a song lyric.

A line from 'What We Do In The Shadows', the Orgy episode Grin

Morgan is my grandmothers maiden name. I don't know why I choose the 12.

@WeMarchOn I’m glad to read Joe is nice, he is my favourite. I did contemplate Scoopski Potatoes as my username!

Survived leukaemia (fairly obvious I suppose)

Mine is from when I was dating my then boyfriend (now husband!). He lived next door to SIL and she would go and tell MIL about this car that was always there but it appeared with “no particular pattern” 😂😂 I don’t think she worked out that I was on a 3 week rota at work so the pattern was always the same but repeated over 3 weeks rather than 1. I don’t think she knows that I know she used to spy on my comings and goings. Unless she’s on mumsnet in which case.....!

I loved Anne of Green Gables when I was a young (the tv adaptation with Megan Follows and the books) and this is part of a quote that she says to Gilbert Blythe when declaring her love to him.

Hannah Gadsby and her comedy routine 'Nanette'. She talks about gender and sexual identify and her apathy towards celebrating her sexual orientation. She said she identifies as tired. I have little in common with Hannah. I am a British, middle class heterosexual stay at home mother of 4 but I feel exactly as she does. Tea, chocolate, cuddles with the dog and naps. That's a happy life for me. I frequently identify as tired.

I ❤ Hannah!

I was tipsy and wanted a new name after several years with my previous one.
Have had this since 2010 but have noticed a couple of really similar ones recently.

I "was" 😂 @SauvignonBlanche

Mine is from a thread about strange happenings.
Someone lost a mushroom in the kitchen. The most plausible explanation given was a time slip...!

RangerLady · 12/06/2019 21:07

Mine is named after one of my DD's duplo characters but also references my first proper job.

IsolaPribby · 12/06/2019 21:13

Mine is a character from a book I really loved.

SauvignonBlanche · 12/06/2019 21:17

I havn’t touched a drop @LeukaeLucky - Honest!

@IHaveBrilloHair
I've always wondered where your user name came from! I'm glad I know now

Homage to Some like it hot.
