Here’s mi 🙋‍♀️

Just realised that loads of you have never actually met me, so here’s mi 🙋‍♀️

I’m the self taught designer and maker behind NoBooksWereHarmed.co.uk. I’ve been a sole trader since 2014, and there is only me - although sometimes I could do with a team of 10, I’m also a control freak when it comes to my wee business, so wouldn’t let anyone else do anything anyway 😉

👉🏻 I’m Jo! Just Jo, just J-O, not short for anything, Jo.
👉🏻 My name isn’t short for anything, but I’m pretty short irl 🤷‍♀️
👉🏻 Natural blonde - dyed eyebrows.
👉🏻 Extroverted introvert
👉🏻 Painfully shy, yet…
👉🏻 Usually the loudest in the room 🤷‍♀️
👉🏻 Pescatarian. Technically. Cringey label though.
👉🏻 Half Scottish, half Irish, can’t speak Gaelic
👉🏻 Adore The Beatles and Eminem in equal measure
👉🏻 Mouth of a sailor
👉🏻 Can always find a silver lining
👉🏻 Left school at 15, and home at 17. 42 now, jfyi
👉🏻 Don’t enjoy whisky or bagpipes
👉🏻 Around 80% of my wardrobe features animal print
👉🏻 Sold double glazing in the distant past
👉🏻 Wish I could disable the talk function on my phone, I don’t use it for that
👉🏻 Worked in family pet shop for 20 years
👉🏻 Sleeping is my superpower
👉🏻 I loved my first (£100) car so much, that I bought an identical (£350) one for parts
👉🏻 True crime documentary junkie
👉🏻 Once bent over to pick retrieve a poorly thrown dart, and ripped my trousers from knee to crotch in front of a full pub
👉🏻 Lifelong dog person, but cats are so much easier
👉🏻 The mere sniff of apple juice has me queasy at the memory of a cider fuelled, 15 year old me 🤢
👉🏻 I love denim, but dislike jeans
👉🏻 Alway hoped to be a juror, until I was a juror
👉🏻 I own more PJs than clothes
👉🏻 child free by choice
👉🏻 I watch Jaws any time it’s on telly
👉🏻 I have to have the telly/radio on all night, if it goes off, I wake up, annoyed at the ether 😂
👉🏻 Ob.sess.ed with everything nobookswereharmed.co.uk

Pleased to meet ya!
