Some Fretwork and the Interminable Christmas Play at the Chalet School

Now girls, line up and listen because this term is a busy one. Firstly we are combining our hobbies club and the Christmas play, so we will need our fretworkers to get busy on the scenery, some beautiful découpage for decorations, our nimble-fingered needlewomen on costume duty and some scrapbooks for - er...
Now one other thing girls. As you know the Chalet School has moved from the Tyrol, to Guernsey, to Armishire, to some island or other and thence to Switzerland.
This term we have moved again and the first thing I want you to do is to find out where the bloody hell we are....

Bloodybridget, your use of slang really is the outer limit! But I do think you are wizard to share the OneDrive login with all these tiresome Middles. Might you mind doing the honours yet again? I’m up to Shocks, and can’t get any further without spending the thirty shillings that Mummy gave me before packing me off on the train...Thanking you.

Bloodybridget · 22/10/2018 03:34

Gosh, how kind! Oh no - use of slang - I've ruled myself out of any responsible position for the next ten years!

ChimpiestoftheChimps · 21/10/2018 22:27

Absolutely, I think you get a unanimous vote for the margot venables scholarship (or whichever one it is!) AND probably headgirlship into the bargain.... Unless there's a pesky Maynard/Russell/bettany in your year.

I'll nominate you for any of the scholarships Bloodybridget! Thanks.

Bloodybridget · 19/10/2018 21:29

(Preens, blushes, falls over)

CatherineMaitland · 19/10/2018 18:29

I shall ring the bell and give a vote of thanks in my beautiful voice, Bloodybridget.

Isn't that the Therese Lepattre prize? Yes, certainly. Especially if you also send me the details - a kind soul sent them earlier but I couldn't get in at the time (think it was playing up) and now I've lost them again!
Thank you!

Bloodybridget · 19/10/2018 16:23

I've sent the login details to various people. Can I be promoted to prefecthood for Outstanding Helpfulness?

MargiaStevens · 18/10/2018 18:06

Sorry I’m late, Herr Anserl kept me again! And in all the rush I can’t remember where I put either my music or the OneDrive login...

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 09/10/2018 13:38

A One drive account? I have not heard of this (clearly I have fallen well behind in my prep, and should be in detention). Blush

Can I do a bit of singing in the Christmas play - I don't quite have Joey's mellifluous tones, but am not bad.

publishGoodbooks · 09/10/2018 12:50

I found the thread a couple of weeks ago as well and need a prefect to chivvy me along to the one drive account!
My school library had copies of the old prints. Nothing in any library now!

ChimpiestoftheChimps · 04/10/2018 21:02

Hello new chums! I've just found this jolly thread, whilst attempting to sew in my new name labels for me and my thousands of brothers (because I am after all a girl and so this is clearly my job).
What fun to see so many girls with pansy eyes and chestnut/bronze/golden fairy princess curls, all in their gentian tunics!
I've brought some tuck with me - I hope you all like seedcake and homemade jam. I'm hoping Frau Mieders will be able to teach me some new recipes and we don't have any new escapades in the Dommy Sci lab resulting in a school legend!!
Would someone please be able to send me access to the onedrive transcripts?! I've been rereading the series but am suddenly aware of how disappointingly cut the Armada ones are!!!

spinabifidamom · 27/09/2018 20:11

This brings back memories for me.

publishGoodbooks · 25/09/2018 19:49

Can someone please send me the details of the online books as well? Just saw this thread, and am desperate to re-read.

CatherineMaitland · 08/09/2018 09:38

Perhaps Jo will be "busy" yet again and Madge will have to cobble one up for this year.

Could someone please send me details of the OneDrive? I just found A Problem for the Chalet School the other day and it's made me nostalgic for more.

Witchend · 01/09/2018 14:16

Hey! It's nearly time to cast the next Christmas Show. I was a Baby angel last year (with an enamel crown that didn't quite dry in time stuck to my head)
This year I'm hoping to progress to s speaking part, maybe a picturesque peasant or something.
Is the wonderful Jo going to have time to write it between ordering Anna to caring for those quad she had last month?

GertrudetheFifth · 01/09/2018 00:04

Please could someone send me the One Drive details? Have been re-reading my paper Chalet collection while cluster-feeding my newborn, but now need to fill in the gaps.

Papergirl1968 · 25/07/2018 11:54

I’m back in. For some reason I was logged in as myself.
A Leader In Spite Of Herself was hysterical.
Back to a Quintette In Queensland now!

pontefractals · 24/07/2018 22:33

Phew! Thought I'd jinxed them all by asking for a while there.

TooExtraImmatureCheddar · 24/07/2018 22:06

I can still see them - just checked!

Papergirl1968 · 24/07/2018 12:19

Has something gone wrong with One Drive? All the files seem to have disappeared and I was halfway through A Quintette In Queensland!

pontefractals · 23/07/2018 22:04

Hello! Please could someone send me the one drive details? I appear to have locked myself out, despite being an ex-Library Pree 😲

TooExtraImmatureCheddar · 22/07/2018 10:13

Search for One Drive and log into it. Scroll down and find all the files - then it’s a bit of trial and error to get them to open in your Kindle! I email them to my Kindle and that seems to work best. Good luck!

Nat6999 · 22/07/2018 01:15

I'm really thick, what do I do with the one drive to get into it?

TooExtraImmatureCheddar · 21/07/2018 23:37

I am indulging in my annual reread and this time around the age issues are jumping out at me. In Head Girl, Jo is about 14. Robin is 8. Cornelia is 14. However, in Goes To It, Jo is 21, but Robin and Corney are both in the 6th form. Robin may be closer to 16 whereas Corney is at least 18, but All The Same.
