    Good morning to all you snowed in ppl, at least today will be a NSD for a lot of us

    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.:T

    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

    i suspect my first report back may well be a [STRIKE]rubber [/STRIKE]roasted chicken

  • Thank you Zippy....but it was julie777 who asked about the abbreviations, she just quoted me.
    I didn't get the ab's when I first joined and looked at that thread which was very helpful.
