Best Halloween story

This is my favourite Halloween story that really tickeled me!

Simon Cowell spooks us out this Halloween, with a rather puffy face

The media super power appeared on Jay Leno with US X Factor judge Britney Spears.
But rather than focusing on the pretty American blonde, all eyes were on SiCo and his rather inflated cheeks.

Simon, who has recently hired a personal trainer after confessing to gaining weight, also showed off a very rosy complexion.
With the 53-year-old being quite open about using products to keep looking young, the pictures have lead to speculation he might have overdone it on the botox.
Meanwhile 30-year-old Britney did her best to divert eyes in her direction by wearing a VERY low-cut patterned grey dress.

An apple a night..keeps the Winks away

Happy Halloween you all!

I had some Halloween fun in the rain with my nieces and son this evening! We went Trick O Treating in the cold British weather! It rained on us and the wind blew our pointy hats away leaving us chasing after them, my son fell in a muddy puddle on the way and thoroughly enjoyed it! He had a George Pig moment there! Oh and we had lots of sweeties. The people on our street are a bit tight and live in big houses with gates. Not a very halloweeny friendly neighbourhood. So I drove the kids down to this sweet little road where most of the houses had Pumpkins flickering in the windows and cobwebs hanging off the front doors! There was candy galore and the kids had the best Trick O treat ever and we were all very pleased with our Loot! 

But alls not well this Halloween night! Here's a synopsis-

I'm probably an average techy person although some consider me fairly good with handling electronic devices and do trust me to update, backup and restore their devices such as cameras  and phones and this annoys the hell out of me mostly because while backing up my devices would be a straightforward easy five minute process but backing up another's takes up my precious hours because either they have either not installed the device correctly or just attract bad luck by some non-techy genes that they must posess and I therefore seem to lose an entire day sitting in front of a PC solving Their muddles while they go about their day happy as sunshine and just getting on with their Day!
Sometimes in such circumstances I have found that Ignorance must be bliss! It's blissful to Not know how to backup files and ruefully admit that they "just don't Get It" and then find a scapegoat to pile their troubles on! I say it's not Rocket science to learn how to Plug in your techies and follow basic instructions! It's just plain old "I can't be bothered" syndrome.

So anyway, the above ranting is to highlight my present status of a burden bearing Ass who is backing up a friend's iPhone 5 at 00:25 midnight. It's been over an hour and half and I still have about 35 mins to go before backup is complete! This is because the phone was last backed up in Nov 2011!! But my friend is somewhere sound asleep oblivious to the fact that I'm having a good old moan about her on my very pink and pretty blog!

So what do you non-existent readers think of Iphone 5 anyway? I've had mine for two days and I must say I absolutely love it. It's lighter than 4s and feels heavenly. That could also be because it's still unscratched and my kids sticky fingers have yet not found its smooth shiny surface. Yes I do love my I-5! 

Another day gone without my Berkeley.. Oh! How I'm tired of waiting! :( perhaps tomorrow?

Sleep tight everyone! Here's hoping I do too!

8 years on..

Celebrating 8 years of marriage! 8 years on and life is good, love has matured and sensibilities have ripened.. Not bad I say! It's been a wonderful day today. Im feeling very grateful as I write this. Grateful for this wonderful life I'm experiencing with a wonderful husband by my side.

Day was spent running after kids 1 and 2 and evening at Movies with husband. Snacked over sweet popcorn and coke zeroed out! Managed to smuggle a bottle of wine into the movie hall too :) Yes! We've all done that at some point in our lives..some at 16 and others a tad bit later in life! (I'm not giving my age away)! Husband hid a lovely card in my Ipad case whereas I completely forgot to buy him one! I'll worry about that tomo..I have some making up to do. Probably will get him a "I'm sorry" card? :(

I must say I'm warming up to the idea of blogging a bit more now. By now my non-existent readers know that this blog was created so I had something to do at Midnight in between feeding my baby. I have a few ideas for my blog which will come into existence the minute I find 10 mins free during the day to actually execute my plan coz lets admit it, my brain is slower than slush at midnight. This blog up until now is top notch babbling of a sleep deprived human who will not sleep even when presented with a 5 hour sleep window. It's mostly self inflicted! Yes so, as I was saying, I have a few ideas for the blog mostly discussing fashion, no politics but definitely some moral issues.

Which reminds me that my friend Berkeley from Paris has not yet arrived and I'm eagerly waiting for her. I've not forgotten to post pics of her if by then I've figured out how to post pics here. So watch this space if anyone's out there..

Sleep tight peeps and here's hoping I do too!

Midnight crushes

I know it's been a while since my last post. I feel really guilty writing this today especially since in my last post I promised to write in more regularly. But all that guilt couldn't hold me back tonight! I'm super excited and super charged at the moment! Had to share my Big crush!

So a little background Story to set the scene first! By now you all must know how little sleep I get since my 10 month baby refuses to go for more than 2 hours of uninterrupted sleep! It's driving me insane but I bear no grudge coz she's my baby and obviously in a lot of pain due to teething etc! (Aww!!) but it also leaves me with a lot of time tossing and turning in my bed trying to go back to sleep in between feeds. I've been filling the time by crawling through YouTube and Web. Thanks to this I now have a YouTube account, I'm an active eBay seller and I also have this blog! These are in addition to Facebook and twitter accounts that I already have. I must say its a lot to keep on top of and I'm building myself a massive web that will eventually end up taking all my time and my baby will just have to wait for her feeds while her mum rambles on her blog in the middle of the night! (must stop!)

So getting back to my Crushing-- as a result of all this web browsing and encouraged by insomnia and resulting reduced levels of brain functioning I have finally given into my crush of 3 months and ordered myself a...<drum roll>.. Louis Vuitton Berkeley ebony handbag! I ordered it half an hour back and couldn't wait to tweet, status update and post it on Twitter, Facebook and my blog respectively!

Im hoping it'll arrive first thing Monday morning and I'll post a few pictures of it here.. Not that it'll look any different to the pictures that are already out there but hey! A girls gotta shout her Love to the world! Love of Louis!

Later peeps, sleep tight and here's hoping I will too!

Midnight post!

A midnight post Again! Had a lovely time meeting with an old friend tonight. We used to work together many years ago. That's 5 years to be exact but 15 in Mum-years. Does seem like it was a long long time ago that I was carefree and happily irresponsible. I slept for 11 hours and had long showers and rich foamy baths. My nails were perfect and I never had a hint of shadow on my upper lip. Ah! The bittersweet memories come flooding in now!

My daughter very nearly stood without support today, for a fraction of a second. I think she'll get there quicker than her brother did. It's been the highlight of my day today. That and having dinner with my old friend. I was rather looking forward to it as she has had quite a few setbacks this year and I was hoping to cheer her up. Mission accomplished over Big glasses of red wine! So I may be a bit buzzed as I'm writing this but the evening made me realise how much I take my good health for granted. I'm naturally a thin person so it's been easy for me to indulge my sweet tooth without having o worry about it..but guess what! The pounds are adding up and the fat is starting to stick! I need a new plan for fitness.. Well not a new plan as I don't have an Old one! I just need a plan..

Come tomorrow I'm going to hatch out a plan and the pounds will shed and the Gorgeous me will emerge! Hopefully while that's happening Brad Pitt will be walking by and notice the new Gorgeous Me and fall in Lust with me! (I'm thinking his love will be too shallow anyway..him being a gorgeous movie star and all that). Oh! How a girl can dream!!!!

Night night lovelies...here's to a new Me!

An introduction..

Hi! I'm Naina Singh (name changed to spare myself embarrassment on school runs). Pleased to meet all you readers out there! This is me jumping on the " blogging band wagon" I've heard so much about! To be honest I've had so much on my mind lately that I have caught myself talking Loudly to myself..! My 4yr old son is starting to stare..probably thinks I'm talking to my imaginary friend. So it was either blogging / venting or scarring my sons psyche for life. Blogging it is.

So I live in UK. I'm married and have two gorgeous children. My son is 4 and my daughter is 10 months. Another reason why I created this blog at 12 midnight.. I don't get much sleep with my daughter waking every couple hours! Sob!

In this blog I will try to ramble on daily about anything and everything that I feel should be written about. I must admit I'm excited to find out just how many thoughts I can assort on an everyday basis that are readable for adults and not just a load of baby talk!

Please be kind and try to leave encouraging comments if this blog gets read at all! :)
