If anyone has previously asked me for copies of CS books by email then you should have received an email from me with this list, attachments of any I've not previously sent out - though it is possible that 2-3 titles may not have been sent to everyone.

If you are missing any of the above, and I have your email address, please look out for an email from me. If you haven't had one or want any of the above eBooks, please send me a PM including your email address and which titles you want - you can just list the book numbers.

I'm sure there was one called Genius at the CS.

Don't think I made it up?

TheCSLibraryPree Sun 27-Jul-14 19:58:28

Hello Micah,

Indeed you are correct, there is Genius. In the Armada books it was split to become Genius and Fete. I have them both and, in due course, will transcribe them!!

Which is the one where somebody puts cod liver oil tablets in the shepherds pie? I used to get the monthly magazines, I'm not sure where they are now. I'll have to ask my DSis if she knows.

TheCSLibraryPree Sun 27-Jul-14 21:30:04

Don't remember that but there was the time Evvy & Co (I think) put garlic cloves in the apple pies instead of dried cloves. Was in one of the earlier Tirol books.

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams Sun 27-Jul-14 22:22:05

I've just asked my DSis and that was in one if the magazines apparently, so maybe not in a proper book. They made them and they looked so good they chose them to be served to the people visiting the school. Why they put them in in the first place, or what the outcome was I can't actually remember confused

TooSpotty Sun 27-Jul-14 23:25:53

I'm pretty sure one of the books has a cod liver oil/olive oil mix up. Someone is sent to get olive oil from matron for frying doughnuts and gets the wrong oil. Tyrol era as I'm sure the American girls are involved somehow:

EElisavetaofBelsornia Mon 28-Jul-14 00:14:19

Ooh I will!! Very excited.

TheCSLibraryPree Mon 28-Jul-14 01:57:57

Ahh, now I do remember something about frying donuts!! Can't remember it being during Tirol days, and I've read them fairly recently. Let me do some digging!

TooSpotty Mon 28-Jul-14 09:46:24

I googled. Right on doughnuts, wrong on era. It's in Carola.

Oooh! oooh! Jo to the Rescue! I may have to have a lie down for a few days, anyone got any spiked milk?

Library Pree, if it wasn't ghastly tosh we just don't do around here I might have a pash on you. Wonderful work, thank you!

RobinHumphries Mon 28-Jul-14 11:23:59

Slang rumble? Pay your fine please! Matey will be along in a minute to wash your mouth out with soap

Trickydecision Mon 28-Jul-14 15:56:10

I am so very grateful for the book which you sent me a split second after receiving my message. But how on earth do you do the transcribing? Surely it is an extremely laborious process?

TheCSLibraryPree Wed 30-Jul-14 02:52:55

Hello Tricky,

I literally sit here and type up each book. I do a live in job (it's meant to be alternate weeks but, since end of April, I've only had 2 weeks out) and spend much of my days sitting doing nothing so it keeps me occupied and sane!!

I quite like the routine of sitting and typing page after page and it means I get to read them!!

Trickydecision Wed 30-Jul-14 08:10:46

There should be a Mumsnet, or even a CS, medal for devotion beyond the call of duty. You are amazing! Thank you again.

Katharine2 Wed 08-Oct-14 12:20:03

That's impressive LibraryPree, sent you a PM.

UserNameUnderConstruc Wed 08-Oct-14 12:32:45

Wow! What an impressive list!. Its bought back fond memories of readin the books growing up. Have sent you a pm.

I was going to come on and say the codliver oil fried doughnuts was in a later CS book - but I see I have been beaten to it. I must have been too busy doing my prep and mending to see this thread earlier!

This is one of the best threads I have ever opened on mumsnet! I have sent a pm.
