SKI-er or Sk-ater. We know how to enjoy ourselves

Merrywidow

Oh Steveky - you will have to read back a bit and get the full explanation - its been explained so many times. I think the DH you are wondering about is "Dear Husband"

Merry widow I have searched but being unable to find any reference to them I thought I would ask, never mind I will stay ignorant

Ski_ers are those people Spending their Kids Inheritance. I can't remember exactly what skaters are but I'm sure someone else will come along soon and explain. DH is dear husband. OH as you have rightly worked out is Other Half. DD is Darling daughter and DS is darling son. MIL is Mother in Law and so on and so forth. You'll get the hang eventually.

SKI = Spending Kids' Inheritance. So SKI-ers are doing just that!

SKA-ters are people without kids who are also enjoying their money and it stands for Spending Kash And Thoroughly Enjoying Results.

Do you want to join us? I think the next number is 11!

As for ther others D can stand for dear, darling, damn, daft, or anything else appropriate before H, husband, S son, D daughter, DIL daugher in law, SIL, BIL brother in law, etc This link may help more.

Hi Steve, would you like to tell us a bit about your SKI-ing or SKA-ting?

steveky

Hi SKI-ers club, I'm 53 married for 31 years have 4 Daughters all currently unmarried although 3 are engaged ranging from 29 down to 22. Have just taken voluntary early retirement and am desperately trying to hide/spend my lump sum from the kids before they arrange to spend it for us. I am currently trying to convince the OH to invest in a motorhome so that we can take off but in the meantime looking forward to an imminent coach trip to france. Glad to join you all and look forward to being a member

Welcome to the gang Steveky - didn't mean to be abrupt earlier on but I was in a hurry and was lazy. FYI I am a SKA-ter. I would have loved a motorhome but my husband was not very adventurous. Go for it before those weddings start arriving.

MerryWidow, have you not formally joined the SKI-ers club? It's for SKA-ters too you know!

How about being number 12?

Steve,enjoy your coach trip and don't let those daughters spend all your lump sum, you'll need it for your motorhome!
