| I'm not sure. We have found a massage class and a yogalates class to go to, and i think there is a rhyme-times sort of nearby but that seems all - I found a couple of birth-toddler church groups but I'm really not that keen to go to a church group at all....so how do you find groups? Maybe there just aren't any |

| I have a few groups near me and I should go because it will be good for my lo and break my days up a bit but I worry about joining a group on my own! Just after I had my son the health visitor gave me some leaflets which contained a website where you could find certain baby groups in your area but I can't for the life of me think what it was called :/ |

| check your local mums net and sure start centres.
check the church ones too there is a chance they wont be linked to the actual worship or anything religious.
I have just helped to set up a group in our local church hall, it is with other members of our church but its nothing to do with religion, its just a service that our local area needs and we have a cheap location to provide it. hope this helps

| I had a look on netmums. They tend to list all of them in your area.

| Try asking your HV or go to the local library and ask there. My HV issued me with a list of all the groups for under 5s when Wil was about 3 weeks old. The library here also run storytime and rhymetime for LOs once a week and Wil goes to those with his childminder because they are free.
Try this website too http://www.dcsf.gov.uk/everychildmatters/earlyyears/surestart/fundedsettings/childrenscentresmap/

| oooh netmums seems to have some stuff thanks! we don't seem to do surestart in scotland which is a shame as it seems to be a really good resource. Nothing much locally (shame I don't drive) but some that I could probably get to anyway |

| I used netmums too. Why are you not keen on the church groups?, I go to one at my local church and tbh..its not religious in any way. Its just like any other baby group, they do massage, crafts etc..Even my local Sally Bash have a toddler gym. Don't let the fact that its in a church put you off |

| i have 3 spare seats in my car once me and Arwyn are in it i thought you sacked the health visitor? i don't know where logie & st johns is i doubt there will be any religion involved, there's always baby groups in church halls. (cat net would be great, can i be a mink and borrow another piss mat from you? i forgot to buy some ) |

| haha piss mat, yeah I will bring an extra one - I really don't want it back though We got a new h.v and it's a man! He stayed for an hour and a half and was actually quite useful, if a little pressurey about sorting Elijah's sleep out (sssssiiiiggghh) Email the sensory people and see what they are saying to it - I dunno if they have places or anything Logies+Saint Johns is sort of near here, bottom of Blackness Avenue near Hawkillshire I think. John wants to go cos they do daddy and baby breakfasts on saturdays with bacon rolls haha |

| I couldn't resist, they have womens only and mens only breakfasts too but not baby ones http://www.logies.org/23.html It's only a couple of weeks til that other class starts - I remember it seeming like a good idea, now the thought of exercising with other people sounds fairly horrible |
