  • I have very fond memories of the very early 80's kids tv programme 'Mooncat' and took the name Mrs Pinkerton Trunks as homage to the elephant of the same name that starred in the aforementioned series. I know - I need to get out more! ;)

    My fave advert by a mile - I can watch it 7-9 times over and over one after the other - it is a stunning piece of genius - love absolutely everything about it

    Also see here about the making of the ad - pretty interesting

    Mine is from a friend of mine - she used to have an eating disorder and said one day she wanted to 'fade slowly' and i loved the saying. :) also, i wanted my debt to fade away, which it has, so it has two meanings :) x

    Rich people tell you that money doesn't bring you happiness just so the poor people don't feel jealous.

    My friend introduced this site to me and made me register. I wasn't keen, thought it was really sad, yes I know I was totally wrong and now i'm addicted! Anyway, I wouldn't come up with a name because I so didn't have a problem with debt so she used her initials and added a 1 because....erm...she just did. Since then I'd like to change my name but don't think I can.

    PS....yes, since becoming debt free i've said thankyou, thankyou, thankyou to her xx
