    AF = Aunt Flo = the curse!
    IYSWIM = If You See What I Mean
    PMA = Positive Mental Attitude.

    Stardrops is a cleaning liquid that many people think is the best thing before sliced bread

    ETA - the abbreviation that always makes me laugh because it looks rude is:

    IANAL - I am not a lawyer!
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

  • Morning ladies :)

    AF is Aunt Fanny (I think!) or in other words, the dreaded periods...

    Think Neveah is right about IYKWIM, I'm not sure about the other one!

    Can anyone enlighten me about what HHS/HHI are?! :confused:

    Not sure I'll be able to do much today, as I have my driving theory test straight after work (eep!! So scared I'm going to fail...) and then Karate straight after that (Will hopefully be grading soon, but only if I can figure out the bleddy turns!) BUT I shall try to do a little when I get in.. If I don't manage too can I do some on Wed instead? It's my half day at work :o
