what is BFP?

Like wannabemummy I kept seeing AF etc and had had no idea what they meant, so when I found the list as above I thought I would copy it down and refer to it as and when needed. I still see some that I don't know, but I think some people make up some of them between friends. Glad the list helped. Good luck to you all. :-)

we have all been there! I didnt know what the hell AF was!! ;) x
