So excited! I've had mine on pre order since February. Going to a nearby town for 12:01 to pick up my copy - can't find anyone who will go with me, so my dad is coming along to keep my company. Isn't he lovely? I've tried to get him to watch the films (he's not a book person) but he gets confused very easily with films, the only thing he understands is Columbo and that's cos you always known who did it and how!! LOL. Anyone else going tonight? Chloe |

Ooo but there's always that margin of doubt Sheila. WHAT IF ?? I'd read that Amazon were warning people they may not get 100% of their orders dispatched. Anyway I'll be a good 10 chapters in by the time our postie gets here :~D XX Sioux |

Hello Chloe I posted last night after returning from Folkestone, - on the Gaynor Bear thread I think. We went to Waterstones, where the early folk got a goodies bag containing a free book, T shirt, emergency raincape?? and money-off vouchers, when you purchased the new Harry Potter for £11.99. |
