18 hell, perfect time for a reality check. Eh my step mother would act the same way if she didn't get the latest barbie in the mail in time.
Then again if she wasn't my stepmother id give her a reality baseball bat to the head. They never grow up!

Well, as I suspected, it didn't come. And now it won't come until Monday. I'm the evil Dad for the weekend. I know it doesn't matter; but I think that's pretty evil and stupid of Amazon. Clearly this wasn't put in the right batch for Saturday delivery.
And the irony is that I didn't put anything else in the order in case that screwed up the delivery; as a result, I paid 3.99 shipping (I could have just added about anything for $7 and it would have been free shipping! That's because I promised my daughter up and down it would be here on time. I figured there was no way Amazon wanted to eat the cost.

You need to come to the NHGTG to get away. Heck, I'll loan you our copy of the book and get it back later. The wife and I both finished it. |

4 hours reading last night, 2 today, all finished, very good indeed. |
tell me please:) how does it end? |
Waring, one panel spoiler explains everything |

I think I'll hang out until I get to Australia before buying it. I presume it's available here in Japan today (I haven't been in the big bookshop lately), but it will surely be cheaper in Australia ... but then it might be too heavy in my luggage on the way back. ;-Þ |
I just paid $34.00 aus for it but then walked past a store selling it for $19.99 :) but I have to work all day so not till tonight for me. |
Probly still less than Japan. Here Ive caught myself saying that a paperback for 20$ US is reasonabley priced. |

We haven't read any of the Harry Potter books but we were at a bookstore yesterday and we thought we'd have a quick look at the lastest book then Manic said "Hey, let's see what the last word is!" So we looked then read the couple sentences before that LOL. So we know how it ends!

Kate (Wife) picked up her pre-ordered copy yesterday, I've got to wait for her to read it... :-).
I couldn't really get into the first two, but As they've gone on there is more 'meat' in them...
