I have occasionally been called KFB on this site, but it was quite a common abbreviation on another site I used to use. I quite like it. As ali says, it seems more friendly (hope you don't mind if I call you ali, poster of post 3
).
So feel free to call me KFB, it's much shorter to type as well
Eta: my real name can't really be shortened and i don't like it anyway. I much prefer my middle name.0 -
I usually get shortened to MI3 which makes me think of some kind of academy for failed secret agents!We Made-it-3 on 28/01/11 with birth of our gorgeous DD.0
