Do you realise how much
« on: Sunday 18 October 09 19:29 BST (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
 :o   :'(  ;D

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   :P) 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  :'()

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 ;D)

Monica, poorer by the unit  8)

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

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

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  :-X (although I will confess that I've found lots of relatives there)
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
