Following last week's spurt of cleaning enthusiasm, I've reverted to normal, and am researching Home Organisation websites. And what a fascinating place it is too.
There's
Flylady who advocates "Loving Yourself"*, making your sink all shiney, and ALWAYS wearing shoes. She sends you out a mixture of bossy emails and "inspiring" testimonials**.
There's
Organized Home and it's sister site Organized Christmas***, with lots of supportive Americans telling each other that all they need to do is buy some more storage boxes.
My personal favourite at the moment though is
the Hillbilly Housewife - I need to start by making ( and presumably wearing) a frilly pinny and putting my hair up in a bun, then automatically people will give me respect in my role as Homemaker. Apparently.
There's also something I've discovered called "modest clothing" which deserves further investigation, although I suspect I may also need to become a
Surrendered Wife .
Off to practice "Yes, darling, of course you can make all the decisions in this relationship".
* but not in any sexual way
** that's "inspiring" as in "total weirdo alert"
*** at least now I have next year's teacher presents planned.
Edited to add: Baby Smats passed all ballet exams with flying colours, and I've lost 27lbs to date.
