Recipe of the week

Avs1's pasta with creamy green sauce: fox veg-hating toddlers (or teens) and cunningly whizz a nice wodge of peas and leeks in this super-quick cheese sauce. Pour over penne and bask in a good-parent glow.

National Statistic on names...2008

Does anyone know how long it takes the National Statistics Office to compile the Top 100 names list?

Was just wondering how far into 2009 we'll have to wait for the 2008 list to be published...

I guess it might be pretty soon. Last year's were published on 19 December 2007 at www.statistics.gov.uk/CCI/nugget.asp?ID=184&Pos=2&ColRank=1&Rank=208

If you really want to know, why not ask them? I've dealt with them before and found them to be very helpful.
Probably best to ring if you want a quick answer. Their contact details are at www.ons.gov.uk/contact-us/index.html

Should be the 20th or 21st December

So what do you reckon will be top 10?

Jacob/Jake has to be up there, although I haven't met many baby Jacks recently. Wouldn't be surprised if Blake, Charlie & Max were there.

For girls, loads of Eva/Evies around, Milly, Freya, Grace. Paris might get a look in judging by our local baby groups!!!!!

I bet Scarlett is right up there as well - seem to be loads of those. Don't think there will be much movement with the boys

looks like the new info was released on the 19th december last year.

Don't they wait for the last week's babies then???

Just googled 'national statistics baby names 2008' and there is a Daily Telegraph article that says they are not being published due to cost cutting shock.

Please someone tell me this is not true...

Although there have been lists compiled based on the DT's births column - so a nice cross section then!

They have no plans to publish them this year(mentioned here):

Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face, , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin, , type [grin] or :o
For a wink, , type [wink]
For a shocked face, , type [shock]
For an angry face, , type [angry]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
