discussions on the best way to clean your oven, extol the virtues of stardrops and what cloths we prefer are relevant.

Pictures of shoes aren't (unless incorporated into a flying post)

Posts announcing a HHC/HHI etc ARE allowed.

Posts about your MIL's dog are allowed IF they are incorporated into a post that is on topic.. you know.. you post your list and then a bit about your FIL's piles.. That is ok.. but we are having endless posts which are simply nothing to do with flying in any capacity and it is hogging our space.

The guides have not said anything.. I did.. As the illustrious leader I think it is up to me to make the thread accessible for as many as possible and even I am struggling to keep up and am finding just skimming the thread I am missing important bits of peoples lives and new members. I want to get the thread back on topic because I know a lot of time is spent chatting and reading on here wasting valuable flying time.. see mule throwing too!

I'm not saying 'no chat' I am saying limit it to your flying posts and if you want an off topic discussion please take it to the facebook/yahoo groups.

Multiple quote posts are fine!!! They cover a lot of things and as long as they have a bit of flying relevance I'm a happy piggy!!

The thread has been threatened with closure before when it went off on a tangent and it is too important to so many people to risk losing it.

Thanx for clarfying that for us pigpen. Am sure we can all breath a bit easier now!
I, for one, would definately miss this thread if we lost it. The support and encouragement is what keeps me going.

Anyhoo, kitchen S&Sed, as is the bathroom.
DP tea bubbling on the hob, mine is defrosting in the microwave.
Dad due to collect nephew in 25 minutes and counting!!!:T

I have thoroughly cleaned my new kitchen, and slowly put everything back into my new cupboards. I took ages to decide what to put where as I now have a different configuration of drawers/cupboards and some decluttering was called for!:D

I defy anyone to find a tidier or cleaner kitchen!:j

Apart from that I have done nothing else!
