Just that really. What is the meaning behind/origin of your username?
I’ll go first: mine is based on the name of a holiday home I visited many years ago now.

Having been a long time lurker my first actual post was around the time my mum died. It was one of her sayings and described exactly how I was feeling (and still am, a bit)

CathyorClaire · 08/11/2022 21:18

I was a massive fan of Jackie magazine back in the day.

Clearly not enough to have noted that I should have spelt it 'Clare' though 😁

I had 2 friends who called me the original emo, because I was emo before emo was a thing…I had a boyfriend who called me Emu. So I combined them.
