    Mine is because I'm always sleepy (oh calls me the Dormouse) and because I would like to be a stoozer with the credit cards but know I'd never get my act together enough to do it. If you snooze you lose!

    mines taken from a nickname given to one of our kids. Shortened from our family name. Now wish I had been more inventive!

    Mine's because I was having a particularly blonde day when I registered on this site. Mind you, I seem to have particularly blonde days quite a lot! And yes, I am really a blonde.......

    Doh.

    I regret mine now, but couldn't think of anything when I went to register. A Thriftylady is how I would like to be, not necessarily how I am, but I always look at it and think that it sounds a bit prim....and old.....but I'm only a young'un ! (well, I think 30 is young...)

    I have been a session drummer for many years and Jeff Porcaro was my hero, his replacement Simon Phillips comes a close second. So my name comes from the band, and now I realise I have given way too much information and anyone in the industry could easily recognise me LOL, how many female session drummers are there? Oh well, yes my name is um...toto and I am in debt!

    Mine is the name of a 'chaser (racehorse) from the '70's. I just like the sound of it and it's my nickname everywhere I go. :dance:

    Hi Guys,

    Some of you are very funny here...:rotfl:

    Beanie means girlfriend in "teenager slang",apparently.. sitting on the bus once i heard a few youngsters are speaking/shouting using their own language...and one of them proudly said.. My Beanie is Buff,innit???!!!

    So when i found out what it meant(i had to ask a 13 years old lad..)i told my boyfriend and since then he called me his Beanie...:cool:

    And the first part it`s obvious...

    Oh and, Buff=Fitt...

    I've had mine since I was 17 and had my first email address. The first part is my name spelled backwards. Not original but I've had the same username for everything for years. Couldn't imagine changing it now!
    What did I do at work before I discovered MSE?!

    DFD - WAS: a while ago

    NOW - not sure, due to boyfriend going back to uni for masters and now pgce. Worth it in the long run!
    Proud to be dealing with my debts!

    Mine is the nickname my Dad gave me when I was little.
    It means more to me now as he's been dead for 15 years.
