I'm guilty. Addiction is travelling 12,000 miles, then spending time soaked to the skin, goosebumps as big as duck eggs, purple lips....... I'll just check out one more gravestone....."

Not Much. A lot of graveyards were so overgrown and the stones so badly weathered I couldn't read them.

When your biggest fantasy is thinking about spending several hours alone, totally uninterrupted (by cries of "mum" or "have you seen" or "I can't find"...ad infinitum) in a records office surrounded by volumes and volumes of records with ancestors all jumping out at me saying "here I am, what took you so long to find me!!!!"  plus a continuous supply of hot tea and chocolate biscuits at my disposal...ahhh, bliss     ;D ;D

...  volumes of records with ancestors all jumping out at me saying "here I am, what took you so long to find me!!!!" 

Where are all those volumes of ancestors saying 'here I am ... you've found us' ??  I've never seen them !  My ancestors are all quietly hidden away, sniggering and cackling away to themselves 'Ha, ha ... she'll never find us ... '

 I got 6 so I guess the answer is YES I AM !!!

I know I am as now I get a scratch card every so often and if I win I save the money to pay for certs etc

Today I cashed in £28.00 worth and then bought another 3 and won £23.00 again. Good way to save a bit but I suppose if I count up the losses they would far outweigh the wins lol
