I tried sending this to the main group, and for obvious reasons it was
bounced back to me. I have some further comments of my own on it
already.

ATTN Debbie Elf: I have apologised OOB for the tone of my reply; I
hope you understand my explanation for what was intended to be a
humourous thank-you but turned out looking horrendously rude.

Thanks to copious help from this group, I have now found *four*
scrapbook entries: is that the lot so far?

This seems to have sorted itself out although I can't find any cookies
to explain why.

I tried the "back door" method someone suggested and got nowhere:
presumably this has now been fixed :-)

Someone said it was JKR: doesn't sound anywhere near old enough to me,
could it be "Fiddy"?

Again with help from this group I have figured out the coins.

Oh, and "frobnicate" is indeed a real word, and no, it's not rude at
all.

What I said before. When Peeves and the Doxy pull their little tricks,
the watch changes, and the odd thing is that in at least one sense it
becomes rather more normal.

Rather wishing he'd just said "thanks" to Debbie Elf, and not tried to
be funny :-(
