I have now narrowed down the three places that we are looking at renting in in Surrey but I need to make a decision as we will start looking very soon for an actual house.

I have a two year old and a 9 month old so want somewhere with good primary schools, good facilities for families, playgroups and wouldn't mind some sort of leisure centre nearby so I can get the odd bit of exercise!

Please tell me where to live??!!

I will come back to this, I am just about to have supper. It could be tomorrow.

South Farnham is good, but they push the children quite hard.

You can CAT me if you wish and I will happily ring you and answer any questions you may have.

I grew up in Haslemere and it used to have 2 primary schools, both of which were good. It also has a (relatively) new leisure centre but as it's really a commuter town (and has quite a high elderly population) it's not what I would call that family friendly. Most young families can only afford to live in nearby places like Bordon which are consequently very family friendly.
