    Default Wanted - Frances the Firefly

    Hi
    Does anybody have Frances the Firefly book which was a free publication done by the Office of the Prime Minister back in 2004. Am willing to pay for it (price within reason).
    I did try to order it but had an email back stating that it is no longer in publication.
    Many thanks.

    Thank you ladies.
    I spoke to somebody I know in our local firestation but was told they haven't got any :-( Our local firestation is run by volunteers so not sure if that is why.
    I can pay postage costs by paypal if that helps.
    Really appreciate it.

    There's an online version of the book at www.strathclydefire.org/media that you could maybe print off?


    oh...I just tried to access it and it denied it I did a Google search on Frances the Firefly and that website came up and the book's on there, honest!

    Thank you. I did find this online but I have a very basic printer that wouldn't do double sided (to save on paper) and the colours in the book would use up a lot of ink.
    I have put this link as a favourite for my last option but if one of the other lovely ladies can get their hands on a copy and post to me -this would be fab.
    Really appreciate your help.

    Yey, i found you one in my old planning from pre school, will get it in the post to you as soon as i have your address, I love it when i can help a fellow childminder, I know how frustrating it is to want a resource and not be able to find it.
    Hope you have lots of fun

    Is one copy enough or would you like me to pop to the fire-station & get an extra one? x

    That really was going to be my last resort and when I ran it by my other half - he certainly wasn't impressed. Fab story though and so colourful. Enjoy. x
