	Except for at first when I had my full name on here, doh! I have always been Purple something or other, but almost always sign off with Liz and a kiss, altho if I am cross or being formal will omit the cross. I sent an email the other day to someone and automatically put the x after Liz, pressed send and then thought omg! Haven't had a reply since lol Lizx

Member Since: May 2003 Posts: 9,750 Send Message	Apart from my real full name ive also been Elaine (in Happy Harlow) Harlowgirl Goonergirl Gave the last name up as it seemed to attract a lot of undesired attention on the boards :o(( My latest name, is one I will now keep & is in tribute to Gaynor Fear who fought & lost a long battle of Cancer on the boards. Its from the thread "The Pinny gang" which brought a smile to her during those dark days.
