I often wonder what people's abbreviations really stand for. I mean I can guess some of it from the context but.................?
eg NSD, ppl, OH, OP, DD, DS.
Any other translations appreciated.
Enjoying the thread btw.
If I can't reduce my gas and electric any more I will use these ideas to reduce the food bill.:T0 -

new score = 1055/1223 = 86% - falling quite a way behind now.
will see what it looks like when we are back to normal. I may have to lower the target a little - coz I suspect OH will want to go wild on the new oven - only so much you can do with beans :-). on the other hand - a myriad of recipes from all my lovely contributors and weezl's frugal thread should keep us challenged for a while
