Just joined mum's net and want to share advice, ideas for good facilities/things to do with kids in the Wigan/Standish area.....

only just seen this! I live in the standish area....what types of things to do are you after? indoor/outdoor...do you have transport?

I'm near Wigan too, but not seen this message before?!!

Wooo! I'm near Wigan too. It's a bit quiet in here isn't it?

Im from wigan! xxxx

There is something a bit odd going on with this thread - why does it say there's just one message? And why is it not always there?

Or is it just me?!

Hey, BethAHB, SaoirsesM and francesca!! Wooo, ridiculously excited by the fact I am no longer alone in this thread! Woop! Whereabouts in Wigan are you all?

i live in Ashton, but spend a ridiculous amount of time in "Big Asda" and am quite partial to the Costa Coffee in the new arcade place.

Oooh Don't know Ashton that well but know the big asda!! I keep missing everyone in this thread and then posting 3 days after the last comment! doh.

Francesca and Saoirsesmummy...where are you two from and where have you gone.!!

Quite frankly, why would you know Ashton unless you lived there?? It's not the most exciting of places!! I've been to Standish once. To pick up a wheel my brother bought off ebay! We go to Haigh Hall sometimes, does that count?

Ha! hey ashton can't be that bad....no wait you're right (kidding!)

Ah well it looks like we scared off the others

I live in Ashton - I'm not easily scared!! I am clinging to this thread like my life depends on it, I hardly know anyone, just a chat is good!

If i live in Skem can i join this thread? There is nothing locally

Sorry I forgot to check back! I live in Tyldesley which I suppose is not really Wigan at all, but it's not Manchester either LOL!

Looks like an old thread but will jump in anywho's, I live near wigan, there's not so many of us I see.

I live between Wigan and St Helens so can I join in too please?

Hiya,

i am in winstanley, can i join??

Hello mrsmummy.
Nobody seems to use this thread as it doesn't come up in active conversations but hello anyway.

I'm in wigan too. Does anyone know of any baby yoga classes close to wigan?

HI All & Beth and her brood.
I live in Ashton and it ain't that bad, very handy if you dont drive. Railway nearby, airports and local amenities close and a good midway point for most places like manchester and liverpool. Also lots of pubs, not like I can go in them with the kids. Don't you think the area is missing a great pub and restaurant with play area for mums to go and take the kids of any age?

Theres toddler yoga at Middlebrook in Horwich, though LOs need to be 2 and half. I'm not in Wigan but live nearby in Westhoughton

alkar, have you joined surestart? they have a few baby classes, not sure about the yoga one though.

I'll have a look for you. I do think that Wigan, although it's improving it's baby/toddler groups, there does need to be more.

Thanks sparkymummy, I'll keep that in mind for when he's older.

Ambi - yes I've joined surestart, can't find a yoga class though. Was thinking of babysigning instead. Where are you from ???

I live in Lowton. Can't find any babysigning in Wigan but there's some in Warrington surestart centres, I'm hoping to go myself soon.
