    As I was cleanig this morning I started to hum "sunday shining" by finlay quaye. But I was singing "sink is shining weather is sweet yeah, makes you wanna move, those flying feet"

    any other songs that can be converted into the flylady way?

    Am I becoming obsessed?

    I've been invited out for tea and cake with a friend. She's babysitting for small neice and nephew, and has forgotten how tiring they are, so needs moral support.

    Yes lynzpower I think you may be obsessed, but in such an inspiring way that I have today admitted that half the stuff in my sewing/computer/ironing/household accounts boxroom is not the result of me being busy, but is, in fact, stuff.

    I've sold on Amazon for ages, but I'm going to try some fabric and patterns (uncut, bought for a mysteriously younger, thinner person) on Ebay for the first time. I may need some tips.

    And I bought some John Lewis vouchers off my brother, so I'm going to Waitrose to buy a couple of their large solid lidded plastic boxes (can't get to Wilkinson's)

    OK you win.
