Not sure when they were given away but mu mum saved a couple for me and one kept DSs quiet in the car for the whole 1.5hr journey home.

I was wondering if anyone had them and didn't want them or would be prepared to copy them for me if I sent some CDRs

I plan on ordering the Roald Dahl ones from the Book People when I get my replacement credit card.

It was last summer soupdragon - i was looking for some on ebay the other day, as we have a couple and the DC are getting into them, but they seem to go for quite a lot.

I coudn't believe how much DSs enjoyed it. Sadly we only have the first 2 (incompetant parents!).

We have the Roald Dahl ones - fantastic !!!

Sorry - haven;t got the Enid Blytons - interesting that PILS didn't give themn to us as they have the Telegraph every day !

our library had some famous five cds, maybe try yours?

SoupDragon · 14/05/2007 11:58

Never thought of the library [doh]

I think you had to go to WHS amd collect them each day, Scatterbrain. Clearly the two I have were the 2 that got given in the paper, no effort required!

Ah - that might explain it - or the fact that they never even THINK of my dd ?

SoupDragon · 14/05/2007 12:00

It could be that. I think it's rather telling that I only have the first 2 CDs of all the freebie ones I did force them to go and collect the Horrible History books though

Soupy,

My mum got the first 2, but couldn't be *rsed to send off the vouchers for the rest. I later bought the full set on ebay (there are some on there today), and they are brilliant. keep ds happy for hours on long car journeys.

I ticked off my mother, who later collected the secret 7 set, and the roald dahl (although they are nowhere near as successful, much more scary stories), then the horrible histories. She even sent for both sets of horrible histories books, I think she learnt her lesson!!!

I do have the full set tho'

Contact me on eas underscore 1511 at hotmail dot com for more.

isaidno · 14/05/2007 12:20

I've got all 7 of the famous five story cds from the Telegraph.

I can get DH to copy them if you like?

NAB3 · 14/05/2007 17:20

soupdragon From this week the Telegraph is giving away the Horrid Henry stories.

NAB3 · 14/05/2007 17:22

horrid history books

Not even close. Oops.

SoupDragon · 14/05/2007 19:42

They did the Secret Seven as well??? Oh my parents are woeful I shall have to have words with them.

Would you really be happy to copy them for me? I'm watching a couple of Secret 7s on Ebay but they didn't seem to have any sets of Famous 5

isaidno · 14/05/2007 21:52

Soupdragon - you can e mail me shazronnie at yahoo dot co dot uk and I will get famous 5 copied.

morningpaper · 14/05/2007 21:55

I have got both sets too

My dd LOVES them

She is OBSESSED

She doesn't MOVE for 1.5 hours when I put them on - it is GREAT! She begs me to put them on

Of course they are violent and terrifying

But she DOESN'T MOVE! Hurrah!

SoupDragon · 15/05/2007 12:31

Thanks isaidno!

MP, the ony problem we had for the journey was continuously stuffing BabyDragon with mini cheddars to stop her crying and drowning out the CD. I dread to think what her salt intake was for the journey...

SoupDragon · 15/05/2007 12:33

And my new credit card has arrived so I can order Roald Dahl from the Book people too. Hurrah!

Reviving a very old thread @SoupDragon as I have a hunch I've seen your username and are still active - do you still have these audio cds? We have a few of them, and my DS adores them and really wants more - I can get Famous Five stories from audible, but they are mostly the full story, so 3-4 hours long, rather than a 1 hour abridged version like these! I guess I was just cheekily wondering, if you still had them, whether you'd be prepared to copy them for me if I sent you some blank CDs?
