Hi All, I want to change my name on here - just so that it's the same as everywhere else that I have a username. How do I do it?? Thanks! William

Hello William, Go into 'My account Details' and change your first name and your surname. For example, I added Happy Holly to my usual Helen and then changed my surname to 'in Festive France'. Then you just click on save and it's done :o) Helen

Sue, Did you save your second change? Joan, How about 'Silent Night Joan'? Or 'Merry Joan Xmas'? Now you know why mine is so boring, I don't have much imagination! Lol Perhaps someone else can come up with a better idea? Helen
