    Please can I ask what is probably a daft question but it is late!
    I get they relate to kids/partners etc but what do DP, DD & DS etc mean?
    I know:
    OH = Other Half
    GF/BF = Girlfriend/Boyfriend
    Thanks.

    Morning :hello:

    Not that much to do today, just the dailies and I think I'll tackle DD#2 bedroom.

    moggins list: No dining room - it's now my bedroom so was done last week, computer just needs a wipe/OH does all the defragging etc - yay!

    * Put washing on line to dry (it's windy)
    * General potter about in kitchen/living room (they're both still sparkling)
    * hoover through upstairs
    * Session on OH's home gym
    * Make tea

    My hob is broke, but OH said I could have his cause he doesn't use it :D That saved me about £100 and he's gonna fit it, but not sure when, but that's ok I can manage with oven/microwave for a few days! That's a relief I can tell you I didn't want to spend my £40 savings on a daft cooker when I've got good stuff to buy with it like curtain rails/new blinds :D That's what I'm saving for anyhoo.

    Have a good one folks! x

    ..........just be careful using DW. Don't want to confuse a *dear wife* with a *dish washer* :rotfl: :rotfl:

    DH is my favourite. [showing my age now] It always makes me think of Ermintrude fro the Magic Roundabout, who called everyone *Dear Heart*.
