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

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. -
Getting au pairs insured on your car. Help!
Fuschia replied to Mrs Nicklin's topic in The Family Room Discussion
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

Moving out of London for secondary school?
Fuschia replied to HannahSE23's topic in The Family Room Discussion
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!
