Which station Ruth? I have been travelling back and forth to the Sydney airport for the DH, and I could use the giggle, especially when I pick him up at 10:30 tonight. Lynn in Wollongong. Just as an aside, did I miss the original reference to Mugwumps, I just read the word in the fifth Harry Potter.

Re: [lace-chat] Health tips
Thanks Martha, that explains so much. I don't have any sinuses under my eyes (mine never developed, the good news about that is that although the upper ones can be excruciating, I won't get bags under my eyes). Now if I could only get a piercing to drain the lungs I wouldn't do too bad.

Re: [lace-chat] mugwumps in Potter
Bev I found it, good thing I can speed read. In our book, which may not be the same as the other editions it is on page 276. In the chapter "The Hogwarts High Inquisitor" when the Daily Prophet prints an article announcing the appointment of Dolores Umbridge, part of the article states, "Rumours abound, of course, that Albus Dumbledore, once Supreme MUGWUMP of the International Confederation of Wizards and Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot, is no longer up to the task of managing the prestigious school of Hogwarts." Hope that helps.

[lace-chat] Birmingham UK, shopping for ladies
My mom has just moved to Birmingham in the UK, and is desparate to get some warm clothes to wear until her stuff arrives from Canada. Can anyone in the area suggest shops that cater to larger (100cmish waist) ladies. Her new toyboy hubbie has no idea where she can go to find something to wear. You can reply privately to me if you like and I will forward any ideas to her.

Last time I flew to Canada (which coincidentally was the 1st anniversary of 9/11 - lots of room on the plane), I asked a flight attendant for a needle to fix a button.

[lace-chat] Reese's peanut butter cups
I haven't found them in Australia either, apparently you can get them in a store somewhere in Sydney, but it is a 2-3 hr drive from here for me with the traffic, so I have learned to make my own, melt some chocolate into one of those make at home chocolate trays, swirl it around, I do one cup at a time, when cool add peanut butter (I have peanuts ground fresh at the health food store so I don't get the sugar and salt - but for true authentic taste get the cheap peanut butter as it has lots of both) then I pour more melted chocolate on top. Pop the tray in the fridge then consume at will - not quite the same, but a reasonable substitute.

Re: [lace-chat] Harry Potter
I started it Saturday evening and skipped church Sunday to finish it. Loved it, lots of surprises and a few things that aha moments, a bit of teenage angst, not as much action, but it certainly leaves us hanging for the big finale whenever that gets written and published. Once the 92 years old FIL and the hubbie finish it, I will have my second slower paced read.

Re: [lace-chat] Harry Potter - different covers
We have the children's cover, I think for all the editions, and proud of it. Just before the sale of No. 6 they announced that HP had sold 255 million copies, which approximately is 51 million sets of 5 books. Judging by this house alone, it has been read by 4 different people, they there are the library edition, so there is a potential that 200 million people have read the series - no wonder it is so popular and she is so rich, as that doesn't even count the audio, movies, and merchandising. I am have the same problem with the DaVinci Code, can't seem to get into it. On the other hand, I am rereading HP in little bits here and there, DH is reading it first time round in the evenings, and his 92 year old father asked for it back yesterday so he could reread it - he gets it in the afternoon until Don comes home. So in the house it is a hit, except for the 83 year old MIL, but then she doesn't read anything except the TV guide and her Bible.
