Is it possible to stay put when you're near London?

Hi Rachel,

Bare in mind you won't get things together overnight, so my best advice would be to prioritise your needs. If your starting from scratch I would tell you get a decent water filter asap, (there are plenty of threads on this) as you can only go 3 days without good old H20.
Other than that relax and learn from people with the know & a plan will come as you work out your bespoke needs.
