Anything beginning with D is a relation of some sort. Most common are DP, DH, DC, DD and DS - partner, husband, child(ren), son and daughter respectively. You can work out the rest usually :)

The pregnancy/conception boards are a whole new minefield :o AF, BFN, OPK, EWCM don't get me started!

X is usually a twatty ex on mumsnet. We don't do kisses unless under extreme circumstances.

Why do your aunts laugh at people being poorly? Confused
