    oh I thought it was 'best friend forever' - it's a kind of thing the teenagers have adopted from the US.

    Great freeby about the gift card!:j

    I also thought that BBF means best female friend.

    Hope you've had a good walk and the dogs have settled down.:)

    BFF - Best Female Friend or Best Friend Forever. Both work I think. Although I think I use the first one as I have a BFF and a BMF :)

    Quite an exhausting but enjoyable day :) and I have two very tired labradors lying at my feet :)
    I have surprised myself by not rushing to Mr T to spend my money card :o and I have no intentions of using it tomorrow either. How times have changed. Once upon a time I would have rushed right out to spend it and more on top but now I see it as a way to get me through the next month without touching my bank account :)

    Have some more bits on ebay and have some more all photographed for tomorrow.

    Happy to be organised. :D

    And speaking of acronyms, lol confused me for so long. When I was growing up it meant lots of love, it took me ages before I realised it was laugh out loud nowadays :o
