Do you realise how much
« on: Sunday 18 October 09 18:29 UTC (UK) »

just wondered if anybody dare count how much you have spent on Scotlands People site
having been bored all day
I thought I would go on SP and go over some of the certs I have viewed
I then got to thinking just how much this has cost me
I stopped after page 18 because the shock hit me
and OH might see the total

Hi Elaine

I thought I had found a great way to review viewed images on SP (been there for ever but only recently stumbled on it   Tongue) You can download your viewed images as an excel file for example and then sort by whatever (name/date/type) on your computer.

Wish I hadn't done this though...I now know exactly how many images I have viewed in recent years...shocked was I, no hiding or averting my eyes from the total (and the money  Cry)

And that also excludes the countless 'previous searches' and costs of that (I am now too scared to turn that into an excel file and see the line count Grin)

Monica, poorer by the unit  Cool

What does OH spend money on?  I bet if you added that up you could scare him to death too  Cheesy

In any case, what's the point of money if you can't spend (some of) it??

Added - you could always threaten to take up drinking / smoking / eating / going out with the girls or anything else he would hate, if he complains

Even better - tell him that if you can't do FH research, he'll have to talk to you in the evenings!

I agree Danuslave....Me and my OH have separate bank accounts,   he wouldn't bat an eyelid if he knew how much I've spent.....unfortunately FH is not one of his interests.

I refuse to answer on the grounds it might incriminate me  Lips Sealed (although I will confess that I've found lots of relatives there)
