You can buy frozen sweet potato mash Chunks of butternut squash - nice roasted

Thinly sliced leek, possibly with Savoy cabbage, is another veg that cooks well in a microwave bag

If you want to keep out of the way of main cooking, then fill a microwave bag or two (or buy ready filled steam fresh bags) and zap them while the rest of the meal is cooking Baked sweet potatoes are nice Slow roast tomatoes Frozen green beans Fresh steamed mange tout or baby corn Frozen broad beans Yum

Make a quick coleslaw? Slice red or white cabbage with a mandolin, add onion, Apple, orange segments, walnuts, lemon juice, bit of oil and honey Carrot slices cooked in a microwave bag with slug of honey and butter Tenderstem broccoli cooked in microwave bag Make a tomato sauce with veg and pur?e it Cos or little gem lettuce keep much longer than bagged salad or grow some rocket etc in a window box Get a little chopper and make a quick pesto Tomatoes sliced with basil leaves and mozzarella

Magic moments is the cr?che in the lordship lane estate. Although they don't do casual sessions, it's more like a little nursery with children attending between 1 and 4 mornings a week, they might be able to help you.

Yes. It actually turns out to be harder later on because my insurance company restricts driving on an EU licence to first two years in the UK. But getting insured at the start, it was fine. She was 23 though, held the licence two years

Other ideas for very quick meals - how about toasted sandwiches with some crudit?s - cheese and ham, pesto and cheese, tuna and cheese, those sort of things. Make with any bread, including wraps or pitta pockets. Eggy bread Frittata - chuck some left over potato/peas/broccoli in a pan with dash of olive oil/butter then pour in beaten egg, cook slowly then sprinkle with cheese and bung under the grill

We have an old Toyota previa. 8 proper seats, big boot. It's been brilliant

Oh yes, Mm is fantastic.

Hertfordshire, just by the m25 It's possible to leave London without retreating into deepest countryside ... There are places in between!

I was brought up on a town surrounded by countryside. We used to ride our bikes round the lanes, lay around in cornfields, fish for frogs, climb trees... Also into horse riding. From the age of about 10 I could go swimming with neighbours, in the summer we would go out early and not come back till Bedtime. As teenagers were exposed to the normal vices, but didn't come to any harm (probably because we wrent rich enough to have cars) although I was expected always to walk home - often 3-4 miles! I am living in the same place now. The main difference is that the children spend far too much time in their iPads!

If biff in DV can't help, it's worth trying here http://www.precioussoles.co.uk/ Website is poor Shop is brilliant It took 11 years of trying to get shoes for my son's feet for a shop to explain to me what shape his feet really are, and what to look for when shoe fitting

Ditto with my no 1 (wide arches) For a while got measured at aj barnett then they had nothing in stock, ordered online Ftom Clarks a few possibilities delivery to lewisham then tried them there. Once aj Barrett convinced my partner he was no longer a h and sold us g instead. I was very cross. Switched to John l who tried lots on him, he then had the identical geox brand, I bought bigger sizes each year from anazon To start secondary his godmother took him to a specialist place in potters bar to get 'polishable Shoes - cost me ?70 but at least they fit

Kickers aren't bad. My oldest has funny shaped feet, luckily the school were ok with Geox. Biff in DV is a lovely shop to try loads of different brands on Or John Lewis

It's probably our work (social services and education) which makes us nervous about letting a child out alone in London, it's true. I think it's a very personal thing - if the OP is happy staying in London, don't be swayed by others who feel differently

Commuting over 90 minutes is too much to sustain long term, in my experience

I would never have gone on to have children 2-4 if I DIDN'T live in ED at the time. The parks, museum, nature garden, playgroups, other mums and EDF made it all Manageable! But when your children get older you need it less. I work full time now, commute into London Haven't made any 'mummy friends' locally, even though my youngest is only 4. ED is unique for all that!

We moved out before our oldest started y6. Although London schools are good, in ED the choices are limited - no coed 'neighbourhood' school that takes most of the local Primary schools. I work in education myself, and I wouldn't have wanted to subject my child to the Harris machine. The school he now attends is probably lower achieving than many london Ones, but it is a short walk from our house and I feel very relaxed about him. Last night he went after school With some friends to local athletics track, then wandered off with them. He called me up at about 6pm hoping for a lift home but I couldn't get him and he had to walk a couple of miles. Didn't do him any harm. It's that freedom which I really like. But we have moved back to my birthplace, my sister and niece live here. I had no feeling of love from Bromley and Orpington etc!
