Ofstead reports aren't everything. Some schools do better out of them than others. Better to go and see both schoos and then edcide what order you want to put them in on your list.

Our little girl has been going for a year. The new site seems a big improvement on the old church hall and the atmosphere and ethos are as fantastic as ever. She absolutely loves it and is very happy there. SO as far as I know, it's all going really well for them.

I'm afraid education here is in a bit of a pickle. If I were you I'd stay in Spain, for the kids' sakes, and not just their education.

Start here http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/insurance/level-term-insurance I went with Money World - you use their search tool (free) then pay them ?30 for them to make the application to whoever you choose. The ?30 is the total of their one off commission so the rates you get are much better than you'd ever get through a traditional broker / IFA / comparison site. There's no advice though, but life assurance is simple, read the content in the link above and it'll give you a solid basis for making a decision on what you need. One thing - and it applies to all life assurance policies however bought - get it 'written in trust' (speak to your solicitor) to make claiming the money a short and painless exercise for those left behind when you bite the dust. Also - life "assurance" is guaranteed to pay out (unless you've discovered the secret to immortality) which is why it's assurance not insurance and why it's so much more expensive than something that just pays off the mortgage if you croak before the final payment. Disclaimer: I aim to please but satisfaction is not guaranteed and I'm no expert on anything whatsoever and everything I say must be taken with a good pinch of salt.

The Wing Yip in Brixton has a range of just add water curry sauce packets which might be worth a go including a Katsu curry sauce like that at Waggamamma and other japanese places. I think there's a Wing Yip in Camberwell and maybe one on Peckham Rye - certainly an asian supermarket so worth a look.

The only department that could read the map?

Under a brolly there's only really room for one or two people - 3 if it's a golf brolly - under the kind of cover I had in mind the whole of ED could stand shoulder to shoulder as we cry with one voice, "Barry for Mayor!"

Barry - thank you so much for doing this. If you ever stand for mayor you'll have my vote. Any possibility of getting some more overhead cover on the London Bridge bound side platform to keep the rain off. I know there's a shelter there already but it's tiny and at the crowded end of the train. Thanks again for doing this.
