~ 05.22 am ~ Well this is becoming to become a regular occurrence now that we are starting the blog at this sort of time. Evie is yet again not having a good night sleep and is up again so another rubbish night sleep for me, really starting to feel the effects of no sleep. Sorry guys I've not started the blog normally. Good morning guys, girls, current followers, new followers, @slayerkm, @supertraff and @shazza. Not long now until the big day is upon us, only 3 sleeps to go. I hope you are all ready and prepared and have not left everything till last minute like I have. I've got to pop out today and buy a few more little bits. First of all it's time whilst Evie has fallen back asleep in our bed again to catch up on a few posts from the feed and to find a few new curators to follow. Again let me know in the comments anyone I should check out.

~ 07.36 am ~ It's breakfast time and sinc yesterday after I had breakfast for the first time in months, I think I'll join Evie and have some again. Evie has got her Weetabix again and I'll have my chocolate hoops cereal. ![image.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQma3MrLQ5r1xofn5iq5BP6ixTCHA2H4tvK8oeCc4MySx2b/image.jpeg) Evie really does get through her food so quickly, she has finished her cereal and a banana before I have managed to finish mine. I know I do have to feed Evie hers so I don't get to eat mine but still she's only just turned 1 and is such a great eater. Sophie is still in bed as she is not feeling well at all and she has work a little later on today so hopefully a bit of sleep will help her feel better. Ok so breakfast is finished and Evie is all cleaned up so now it's time for the morning play in the toy room, I bet she decides to go to her kitchen to pretend to cook. WOW I'm wrong Evie has decided today to pretend to be a baby doll. ![image.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXKGCZXPu3uMxgJPpYACa12e1vvEUsz2NDW8qVwHd4LvS/image.jpeg) She decided to sit in her Dollys pushchair and hold her dolly and just sit there for a while.mi wonder what is going on in her inventive brain at her age.

~ 09.34 am ~ Just sitting in the car about to head out to finish my shopping for Christmas. Sophie is up but not feeling great so she is looking after Evie. One of Sophs friends is popping round in a bit so she had to get up to get ready anyhow so I don't feel as bad leaving her. The traffic in the industrial estate is ridiculous, it's so busy and there are no parking spaces free so this could be a long shopping session. I should really stop blogging and find a spot so I'll catch up shortly once I've found one.

~ 10.21 am ~ I've just finished in the industrial estate so now it's a matter of getting out . I now need to head across to Tesco as I've got some stocking fillers to buy to go with Sophie's big main present. Again I cannot believe how busy the supermarket is, not a single parking space again, people are parking on the pavements and on the yellow lines but about time I get some well earned luck, and a spot right outside the front door becomes available and I drive straight in, no hassle. Now I hate supermarkets usually but today is disgusting, you cannot move in here, it's so full and everyone seems to be in the biggest rush ever. Trolleys are hitting the back of my ankles, people are walking without looking and there's nothing on the shelves. I know exactly what I want but it's taking me twice as long as normal because of the date but I need to crack on as I'm now becoming one of the people I'm moaning about standing on my phone writing.

~ 11.58 am ~ The shopping is finally finished and I'm back home as we are rushing out to my nan and Grandads for a spot of lunch and also my cousin is coming round their with their kids to swap presents. Sophie is still Ill but has to go to work straight after so has to go round in her uniform and Sophs mum is picking Evie up also she is staying round there tonight. We might get an unbroken nights sleep tonight but never feels right not having her at home.

~ 18.32 pm ~ It's been a little while since I last updated and that's mainly because I ended staying round my nan and Grandads till about 16.00. We was just talking about Christmas traditions and Christmas dinner and getting ourselves excited about the big day. Since I've been home, I've had to sort Sophie's stocking presents out and put them in ready for Christmas morning. I've also just had a phone call from Sophie saying she is coming home from work Ill as her boss wants her to focus on getting better for Christmas which is nice. Sophie's has just walked in and for dinner I think we just having some toast as to be honest I'm not too hungry and neither is Soph. This with a cold glass of squash and a festive film on the telly. From the below photo can you guess what film is on the telly we are watching. The first person to guess the film in the comments below will win hold the SBD from this post so be quick and be lucky.

~ 22.00 pm ~ Ok so the film above has finished and we late now watching anothe film and is one of my favourites ever. The hunger games. What an amazing film. We are actually watching the telly in bed tonight as an early night is needed and I can imagine we could fall asleep st any minute. For this reason I'm ending the blog here for today.
