    Hi, took me ages to figure out to but I think they mean:

    IMO- In my opinion.
    DS- Darling/dear son.
    DD- Darling/dear daughter.
    DH- Darling/dear husband.

    OH- other half.
    LO- little one

    Think I got that right!

    When someone tells you nothing is impossible, tell them to go slam a revolving door

    Hahaha I used hate the abbreviations dd ds and dh
    Darling daughter, darling son... It sounded soppy and too cutesy in my head but I use dd all the time now (unless auto correct changes it to do or something!)
    Once you know the basic ones you pick them up. I remember seeing iykwim ( if you know what i mean) for the first time and thinking someone's child must have randomly typed some letters lol!
    Getting old, all this text speak confusing me at 24!

    I.e. the inspector from Ofsted.(Sent too soon!)

    For ages I thought everyone was talking about the same person and comparing notes!
