Default Sitting on the dock of the bay

Maybe I'm a little odd,Ok,I won't argue lyrics and music spring to mind sometimes,parallels to whats happening at any given moment..during this process we are putting ourselves through. Heres mine and yours?


Yesterday.. just had a row with OH,fed up,sitting in arm chair cup of tea in hand staring out the window and I sing to myself

Sitting at the dock of the bay watching the clouds roll away
Sitting in this building site of a house watching the dust settle once again

That evening another little row.
My old mans a dustman he wears a dustmans hat he wears gawd blimey trousers and what do you think of that
My old mans a ****** he wears cone shaped hat and if he bl**dy says that again I think I'll scream,jump up and down,spit,turn into hulk and that'll be the end of that.

Aaaaaw Eve (I love the dustman one - you come insert "and jump up and down on his head" in there too).

Its natural to have days like that and the stress of what you're doing doesn't help - Mr MMC and I had some of our worst rows in the lead up to the move.

If it will make you feel better do what I did - bet a big sheet of paper, write on it "You are a w****r" and hide it in the spare bedroom, then when you have a row go into the next room and hold the piece of paper at the wall pretending he can see it. It always made me laugh and calm down!!!!

That is SUCH a good idea! Reminds me of being a teenager and stucking my fingers up at my mum behind my door and her opening it and catching me out...ooops!
