Abbreviations
« on: April 22, 2011, 11:27:52 am »
Hi
Being new to this blog, I'm a little confused about the abbreviations I see when I read peoples comments.  DH? DS3? and more.  Can someone please help me?
Thankyou

Hi Margi and welcome

I'm not totally sure, myself, but I think it means Darling or Dear Husband, Darling son age 3 etc.  I'll be glad to hear for sure myself, to be honest!

It can be confusing margi191.DH=dear husband,DS3=dear son 3. You will find a list of most of the abbreviations here.

Ha ha!  We must have been posting at exactly the same time, Cookie!  I just found that thread as well.  Very useful.  Everything you need is on this forum somewhere, eh?

My DH is a chronic loud snorer - I can think of a lot more abbreviations, but I might be banned  ;)

Slightly off track here, sorry.
 CP63 has your DH been checked for sleep apnoea?(spelling?)  I only ask as a friend of mine has been feeling very tired and he was tested and his snoring and stopping breathing was at a dangerous level.

I tend to use OH (Other Half) rather than DH - I don't think that I've seen DH, DD, DS etc. used here in the UK but then I don't get about much on the internet so I may well have missed them  :D
