Bargain_Rzl

Lots of people ask me that

Bargain Rzl is short for Bargain Roozle Roozle was (and is) my ex's nickname for me (long story involving my name and various Winnie-the-Pooh connections) and he, being rich and carefree, thinks it's quite "sweet" when I get obsessed with bargain hunting so he started calling me Bargain Roozle. This was shortly before I signed up to the MSE forums and was my automatic idea for a username when I registered. I used to abbreviate Roozle to Rzl when I signed off emails to my ex, and Roozle somehow seemed a bit too personal to be displayed in full at the top of all of my posts so Bargain Rzl it is

LOL @ ms_london. I have always pronounced it Bargain Rizzle in my head up until now

Thanks for that Roozle :rotfl:

So dare I ask the origins of Ticklemouse? Is it something to do with Mrs Tittlemouse being a housewife?

Are its origins even clean? :rotfl:

Ticklemouse

yes - very clean!!

Ticklemouse was the nickname I gave to DS1 when he was a baby (all say aaahhhhhh)

Bargain_Rzl

Aaaaaah

But do you still call him that now?

My mum called me Piglet as a baby and from time to time (27 years on!) she still does. Hence my avatar :rotfl:

Ticklemouse

Only when I'm being silly

I think of it as MY name now

Evening everybody, hope that you all had a good day and that you have a nice evening!

Been very busy here today, nine children plus my own four! All had sandwiches and/or stuffed pittas for lunch, and have just done HM pizza for tea (3 less for tea though). All but the extra two who are sleeping over have now gone home, and the remainder are tucking into Black Saturn's peach cobbler and custard. Will do popcorn later and put on a dvd for them, and then turn lights out early!

Waiting for dh to come home, thought that I'd need to pop out for a bottle of wine for tonight, but he's bought one on his way home - lovely!

HI Everyone,

Have had a busy day today. Went into local chairty shop and got the following; a box of four Thomas puzzles (all pieces in box), a Thomas the tank book, a silk blouse, a Janet Frazer cardigan, a pair of black M&S trousers and a silk scarf (all clothes for my nan) for £2.80.

Got home to find out my Granddad has been into today for a hip replacement, so my Mum is looking after my nan. Made them all salad and HM scones for tea. Did some washing and drying, and tidied up the front garden. Best sign off now and put my DS to bed. have a good evening all.

Thanks for that Rzl. I think mine was worse than TM's. I used to pronounce it Rizla, like the roll-your-own cigarette papers.
