I want to be a little less identifiable, as being all out there on a public forum just wasn't doing it for me! You never know who is lurking around.
I'm pretty sure you can guess who I am though. Any suggestions on a different username? I changed it but the baby started screaming so didn't give it all that much thought.

LOL, took me a minute! It was the surprise BFer that gave it away 
Sorry - no suggestions. Any nicknames that could be modified but still be fairly 'broad'? ------------- Mum to two wee boys |

I changed my name too, especially now that threads from OB can be Googled.
There are a very large number of people who read and don't post. Never know whose watching.

yeah i changed mine when we were TTc'ing Elodie - more cause I didn't want irl friends finding out before we announced it in person... but when it didn't change no matter what i did - i got admin to doit... unfortunately although it got changed it did not change it on my old name and i can not delete the tickers and stuff frommy old name (AnnC) which is anonying but can't do much about it now....
Also be prepared to feel like a newbie for a while - cause I am sure lots of people on here still don't realise who I was lol ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| Well I decided after reading this thread and the amount of google fans we've had lately and the break up of my relationship, I'd change mine too. (My last one started with an F as well). |
