quelle surprise!

NHS trusts rated for maternity care:

Why am I not surprised that Barnet & Chase Farm got the worst rating?

Hmm!

I just had a signed-for, ID-required delivery--new credit cards. But I'm not sure it's the one I rescheduled! This was addressed to Neil, and I thought yesterday's was to me--but maybe I'm just assuming? I can't find the card. The envelope didn't say Secure Mail Services on it.

I want to be sure it's been delivered before I go out! If i miss it today I won't get it till Tuesday (book before 14:00 for next business day delivery).

ETA: OK, that was it! Phew! I didn't find the card, but firefox auto-fill had saved the reference number and they matched.

No problems with visa application. *breathes ginormous sigh of relief*

Bad, bad names

(this is the "interesting names" lists. stats are from Georgia public records.)

I'm hoping Georgia is particularly bad in baby-naming, but I fear otherwise (especially having seen the Utah Baby Namer site!)
