    It honestly took me months before I realised that DH meant Dear Husband rather than D!ck Head. :D

    Me too! I thought people were being very honest when I first came on here as I only call mine that under my breath. But then I also thought that everyone was a bit over friendly and that lol meant lots of love.

    It's already getting complicated! I always thought LHS = Left Hand Side and LHD = Left Hand Drive

    Not sure HSD is actually one. I've never seen it.

    NSD (No Spend Diary) is basically a challenge where users aim to spend no money during the day. So no buying coffee from starbucks, snacks from Tesco. It's usually for the DFW (debt free wannabes), obviously open to everyone though, that are trying to reduce their outgoings.

    I always thought NSD was No Spend Day as in "I've had 9 NSDs this month"

    Sorry yes could be No Spend Days! Makes much more sense!

    DFD = Debt Free Diary. Getting my acronyms mixed up :D

    SOA = statement of affairs. Used to show your income and outgoings, usually on the DFW board!
