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↓
