10 things you didn't know about me....

The title says it all.

Here are 10 things you didn't know about me;

1. I love cleaning!
I'm not obsessed but I love a clean house and I cannot sleep unless my room is completely tidy, in fact sometimes you may hear me hoovering before I go to bed.

2. I always wear a ring from my Grandma
You may have noticed this, but if you haven't I always wear a ring on my right hand. My Grandma gave it to me when I first met her when I was 11 years old. I still speak to my Grandparents frequently on the phone, but unfortunately I have only had the opportunity to see them twice in my life, so because I miss them so much, I have always wear the ring to remind me of them everyday. I also think it brings me good luck! You can just about see it in this photo....



3. I have never dyed my hair
Yup my hair colour is au naturale! Although I've noticed a few white hairs crop up recently so I think I will have to dye it soon before I start to look like a badger! Nooooooo!

4. I hate my hands
Ok 'hate' is a strong word....I dislike my hands. I know it's weird as I kind of do a job where I use my hands a lot, but I think I have wide hands and therefore dislike them.

5. I was once pulled onto stage on live TV by Robbie Williams
Long before my weather days I did some work experience on a famous music show. I knew Robbie Williams was going to perform that day so I made sure I was in the audience right at the front. Little did I know that Mr Williams was going to pull me onto stage and sing to me live on TV! There is a clip of it on youtube somewhere.....but there is NO WAY I'm giving you the link - it is too cringeworthy! Instead here is a pic....


6. I can bend my tongue into a W shape
No you're not getting a photo of that, but apparently I'm not the only person who can do this. 
Ladies and gentlemen I present to you Daniel Radcliffe who can demonstrate this special skill.


7. I don't have a middle name
Well to be fair to my parents, I think my name is already long enough!

8. I used to fancy David Seaman
Yes, yes, that's the one, the ex-goal keeper from Arsenal who had long hair and a moustache! Rest assured I gotten over that crush a long time ago!

9. To-do lists
I love them! I have them on my phone, one in my notebook at work, my diary and one with everything by the side of my bed. I find it very satisfying crossing off things I have done.

10. I used to be petrified of E.T.
When I was younger I was really scared of E.T. Yes that cute little extra terrestrial guy used to freak me out BIG time! Especially the bit where he gets really ill and pale. Cue scary photo....

Hello everyone!

I've been meaning to start a blog for a while.


Why? Well because I would like to share more than 140 characters of my life with my wonderful followers on twitter

For those of you who don't know me, my name is Nazaneen Ghaffar (but you can call me Naz...everyone else does!). I'm the Weather Presenter at Sky News but previous to that I used to present the weather for BBC South East in my home town Tunbridge Wells and I started my weather career almost 7 years ago back at ITV West in Bristol. 

It's been a whirlwind of amazing highs and lows (no I'm not talking about pressure!) and I know it's a cliche but I love my job! Yes I wake up very early in the morning (around 3:30am eek!) to present on Sky News's breakfast programme, ''Sunrise with Eamonn Holmes'' but I work with great people both on screen and behind the scenes. And the best thing of all is I get to give you the forecast on our ever changing and unpredictable weather!  

So anyway, I want to keep my first blog post short but sweet. I'll post again soon, but in the mean time why don't you join me by subscribing to my blog so you can be the first to know more about me and my adventures....whatever the weather!
