Hi Northern Princess,
I've been posting here for over seven years I still get confused by some of the abbreviations.As has been said, if you don't understand something, just ask and someone will be able to help.
In addition to the link that taplady kindly posted, this one is more specific to this board:

there are a few more recent ones so maybe we can update this list as we think of them; for starters:
YS = yellow stickered or whoopsies = items reduced to clear... don't throw the string away. You always need string!

I am so glad there is a thread for this because ever since I joined I have enjoyed trying to figure out what some of them stand for. I even figured out:
NSD = no shopping days
But what is the "T" for in the title of the thread "No T words mentioned" - obvioulsy, I wanted to go in and ask, but that would mean they would have to mention this T word. What is it?

NSD - no spend days
Thanks FrugalLina, I have not idea what the T means either. Unless it means Tesco.Put the kettle on.0 -
HTH?
One I had to ask NPD - No Petrol Day
And of course NSD - No Spend Day
One I almost asked - DFW - Debt-free wannabee

The "T" word is Tough, there's a long series of Tough times threads which some folk found a bit doom and gloon , no T word threads are aimed to be as supportive but less of the gloom (or at least that's my understanding of it).0
