Robbing The Cup Of Soup!

Anything good in life is either Illegal,immoral or fattening 
- Murphy's law
Welcome to Mother's Day 💮💮
Thinking of my late mum....
 (She passed away in 2013)
I enjoyed a much needed lie-in.
 I enjoyed a lovely hug and tea↑
Had some adult time.....;)
Once we got up,
More boxes to sort out...
Empty boxes were put outside for my younger brother to collect.
My younger son made me a nice Mother's Day meal↓
 Hubby tried to go down the tip and the queue was too long.
He came back, unloaded the car.
I found the clock my mum bought my dad.
On the wall that went↓
 Hubby went food shopping with my younger son.
I still had to tidy up the house!!!
When they came back.
I was given flowers!💮💮
 I unloaded the shopping and loaded up the dishwasher.
I went outside for some nice fresh air↓
So much for people stopping in.
The lake near us had been packed for 2 days running.
As my late dad once said:
"The sun brings out people like Freckles!" 
Hubby loaded up the car and tried to go the tip again.
It was closed.
He had to come back and unload the car.
While I was making the pie.
My younger brother was having a text spat with my hubby.
We had gone around to my late dad's house yesterday. I brought back my Horror film book, 2 packs of baby wipes and 8 boxes of cup of soup.
My younger brother said:
"I should have told him, I was taking the cup of soup!"
My reply to that was:
"Funny he hasn't told me the beds, all the furniture that has disappeared!"
He then accused us of taking my dad's clothers and cleaning things.
My hubby put him right on a few things...
Then got blocked for it!
Roll on with no more messages from him..
(I have blocked him from everything.)
The Chicken,Mushroom and Leek Pie is ready!
 Now to chill with Miss Marple↓

Trying To Keep The Cold Bits Warm!

You probably wouldn't worry about what people think of you if you could know how seldom they do - Olin Miller
Welcome to my Thursday🎈
Could the schools be closed down soon?
I enjoyed my a warm hug and a cup of tea↓
 I gave everybody their sloppy 💋💋💋
Before I left the house↓
 
 It was freezing cold.
My tree pic↓
  I told one man who asked me if I was warm enough?
I replied,"I will be wearing these thermals for a long time yet, you can never have cold bits!"
He laughed.
Another man was moaning about the books in the local library. I suggested some Stephen King.He doesn't like horror.
"What about James Herbert? He does some great books!"
I left him with a food for thought!
Still some cars don't understand the word Stop! 
I finished in one piece...JUST!
I filled up Sexy Beast  
 
 I had a nice light lunch↓
 Now for more singing along...↓
I had a look in the newspaper↓

When I left I had a nice red face.
Back to some more singing along↓

 Quick coffee...
Then back out...
Some of the cars were still failing to stop.
I survived for my last day tomorrow.

With some great music↓
Back home for some nice tea↓
We nipped into Aldi to get some flowers for my mum for Mothering Sunday↓
 There was no bread, jam or meat on the shelves. I am glad I got the flowers!
When I got back,
I went down to do the final job of the day with some great music↓
By the time I got back...
My rollers were so hot hot hot... 
 My final day at two of my jobs tomorrow.
At least the Friday Feeling is returning...🎈

 Coffee and nibble.
My hubby arrived with his dad.
They were going to my dad's funeral.
I wasn't, due to a hot head Prodigal son who wouldn't hesitate to lamp me!
I was going to wave my dad goodbye as he left his house, followed by me delivering my flowers to his grave.
I kiss my hubby 💋
