Melanie

not as in and thanks for all the fish. But so long as in it’s been so long since I wrote anything here. I have been busy with wedding stuff for what feels like forever.
In a week I will be Melanie Reeve. This is the thing that is freaking me out the most - changing my name. I have had the same name for 28 years and it’s been a good name - Melanie Jane Bailey. It works, it sounds right. But I will be Melanie Jane Reeve - which doesn’t sound quite right.
Not only that but I will have to come up with a new signature. I have had the same signature for about 12 years, I guess.
How do you learn a new signature - and then will people look at me strangely when I start signing something and then realise that I am signing the wrong name and have to start again?

But that is future Melanie’s problem.

We didn’t win lotto. Again.
