All a bit random I know but any ideas would be great please!!!!

I am not an Abba fan honestly, don't know why those ones popped into my head!

isn't there a song called mistress mabel?(possibly by the fratellis)

Interior Design: "Our House" by madness "House in the Country" by Pulp
"The Great Pretender" by Queen for performing?
"We are the Champions" for winning?

Please can we ask why...pretty please?

mistress - I knew him so well elaine page and Babara Dickson. Would lately by stevie wonder count? (suspicion of unfaithfulness)

Mistress - Run to you Brian Adams

acting - i want to break free (Queen)
Acting - She's in fashion (Suede)
interior design - our house (madness)

You guys are great - thanks so much!!!!!

Right, there is a ropey old 70s song called Torn Between Two Lovers , I think sung by Mary someone.
Also 'You've Got to be a Hustler If You Want To Get On' - another 70s novelty about being a gold-digger mistress.
Also, Barbara Dickson - Another Suitcase in Another Hall
And a real horror called I've Never Been to Me by some twat called Charlene

Hmm, now Performing/Singing: how about the Theme from the Muppet Show
Life Is A Cabaret by Liza Minelli
Stars by Dubstar
Waking Up by Elastica

SLimming/Winning
how about From Paris To Berlin where the woman keeps going on about being hungry?
I Eat Cannibals by toto coelo

INterior design, ooer:
The Bed's Too Big Without You by The Police
Breaking Down the Walls of Heartache (I know this as a Dexys Midnight Runners B-side but I think the original might have been done by Smokey Robinson)
WIndow by Flintlock

(these are all getting a bit ludicrously tenuous, please tell me why you need these songs and I might be able to do better...)

yes, please tell Merlin.

s'not fair if you don't!

Thank you madamez.
