Posted on 24. Jan, 2013 by PR Mum.
1. Attendance. While rummaging through the big rotter’s school bag the other day, I came across a certificate from her head teacher for 100% attendance for the previous term. Naturally I was proud and congratulated her on the award, which she informed me was given to only two kids in her year. I mentioned it [...]

The words of 2013
Posted on 07. Jan, 2013 by AnyNoise.
Here’s a question for you. If I was to describe you as a flexitarian with a dumbphone and a particularly distinctive sillage, would you know what I was talking about? No? Well you soon will. According to the BBC and the Oxford English Dictionary these are going to be the buzzwords of 2013. (For the [...]

Fat fighting fizzy drinks
Posted on 16. Nov, 2012 by AnyNoise.
In the last couple of weeks a stranger has appeared in the Aurora office, or, to be more specific, the Aurora fridge.

Children always ask the trickiest questions
Posted on 11. Sep, 2012 by PR Mum.
When I got home from work last night, the little rotter was sat on the sofa with one leg tucked under and one leg sticking out. She then proudly announced that she wanted to be a paralympian when she grew up. Their obsession with the Olympic games has been impressive. First came the sprint races [...]
