Why did you choose your username?

Because 2015 for me has several possibilites as to how it is going to pan out.

Because at that stage I want a granny - so I was a granny (not).

Wasn't not want!

Because I don't want to feel I am too old for ANYTHING - although, of course, I am! I'm sad that my arthritic hip means I can't play badminton properly any more. I hobble around the court but it's not the same. (Sad face).

I had a cat called tanith , its a Welsh word and means Witch I believe. I am half Welsh and used a Witch Avatar when I first used the internet.

Because I always try to rise from the ashes, although sometimes my wings seem to get a bit clogged with soot.

I am Mrs Pickle because I make... and often am... in a pickle!

Because it's the names I hate and love.

Self explanatory, I think

My father's nickname for me

My last cat was called Charley and I added girl to ensure that everybody knew that I was female.

Not to me! I have just had to google it.

my post re Galen's

A short lived family nickname and (almost) where I live!

I had to Google it too! 'Every day's a school day'. Mine is because DH and I had just watched 'Gnomeo and Juliette' recorded it on New Years Day 2014.

Because I always wanted to have a 'cool' name instead of the pretty awful one chosen by my parents.

Mine,s very boring. I couldn't think of a good name, so just used the first part of my email address.

I grew up with hens in the garden always, and have long been called chick or hen... cluck!

The first syllables of all of my 3 children's names.

One of the Goons:

"An elderly idiot and partner of Minnie Bannister, Henry Crun often struggles to keep up with the action around him whilst squabbling with Minnie."

"Henry Crun, crumbling, fumbling, very old man. But he takes Elderly Gentlemen's Get Fit hormones and is the nearly lusty paramour of Minnie Bannister."

That's brilliant crun! Still reeling from your Christmas tree photo......

Because I'm rotund and come from Norfolk where we eat dumplings - also know as Norfolk Swimmers.

Because I'm grey and I hate dusting! No, actually, it's the name of my favourite fishing fly!

i think it chose me really. I can't remember how or why.
