So who is getting theirs tonight and who's waiting til morning - I was going to wait - and I have had my dispatch notice (for an order I apparently placed on December the 22nd) has finally been dispatched hooray! I am NOT going to like the look on the postie's face in the morning when he gets here after delivering 1000 of these and having 1000 more to go  |

I read an article that Royal Mail is adding an additional 750 delivery trucks to its routes tomorrow to handle all of the books.

I am rocking up at 8am to wait outside the bookstore... there are 2 right next to each other where I am going, so I'll go to the one with the smallest queue (or books left over). Last time they set up a booth outside the store to just handle the HP books... hopefully I will get one from there  |

I have decided to go into Lichfield at midnight to collect mine - must also remember to set the video to record the live reading by JKR from Edinburgh.

The choice is a hard one to make, but I'm staying at home - will use the later part of tonight to hear JKR tell me the start of the story and then some sleep before it arrives tomorrow - but I'm at a booksigning and the Cambridge film festival tomorrow and a BBQ on Sat, so there's not much time for Potter  |

Ooh no, this is totally different, part of the Cambridge Film Festival we are seeing Howl's Moving Castle (which will go head to head with Wallace and Gromit I bet for next years oscar for best animated feature) - the lady who wrote the book is English and is signing  so you can breath again now! |

Can't wait. I have mine preordered from the nearest bookstore. It's on sale at 11am...so only 11 hours. Not sure what time to get there yet...I'm going to bed soon and then I'll wake up, get dressed, eat breakfast and go get in line for my book. And then read it...hopefully finish it before a party I'm going to tomrorow night.

I just checked my order with Amazon. I clicked on the UPS tracking number and found out that my book is at the UPS hub about 7 miles from my house! Wonder if I could bribe anyone to deliver it today? After all, they'll have soooooo many books to deliver tomorrow. |

It looks like I won't be going to any book parties after all. :'( I thought my husband (a pilot) was coming home today. As it turns out I read the calendar wrong and he won't be home until tomorrow. I think it may be too late to get a babysitter at this point. I'm so bummed out! :'(

After all, they'll have soooooo many books to deliver tomorrow. Same here. Except, my brother-in-law works nights at the UPS mine is at. Hmmmm.......oh well, can't get him in trouble though......or can I? My sister HAS been mad at him lately Just kidding, of course. I am going to a midnight party anyway. Too excited to not celebrate with everyone. |
