All about Shazronnie


  • I like making stuff.
  • I like wine. Dry white. Especially Pinot Grigio. I only like very expensive red wine.
  • I also like Champagne. Perhaps I drink too much. 
  • I have three children; I think they are nice. James is a computer geek, Anthony is friends with everyone, Poppy is not a pink princess despite my best attempts at girlification.
  • I hate it when parents call their daughters princesses.
  • I have a BEd degree (2:1) in English. I never bothered getting a teaching job.
  • My favourite food is breakfast cereal. 
  • I have a husband. I love him lots, which is apparently quite unusual these days.
  • I have been on Blockbusters (1992) and Trash to Cash (2011) so I am practically a celebrity.
  • I like gin.
  • My Victoria sponge is awesome.
  • I am rubbish at housework. But too proud to employ a cleaner. I am deeply suspicious of women who wipe their skirting boards.
  • I watch tv for less than 1 hour a week. I facebook constantly.
  • My husband adores me. He just said so.
  • I have never met a woman with a flatter chest. I used to really want a boob job, but after breastfeeding for 5 years in total I think my tits are awesome. 
  • I am Welsh, but can only speak about 3 words of the language.

I think that's plenty, for now.

Someone has to post something...

Err.. hello.
Nice to see you.
I suppose you'd like to know what this is all about. It's a team blog; a team of people posting about all sorts of things. I can't really tell you much more until it all starts happening!

There aren't really many rules; team members are free to post whatever they like, whenever they like. I think it would be a good idea for everyone to introduce themselves, and perhaps you can use your posting name as a "label" for each of your posts?

Well, what are we waiting for? Happy New Blog!
