I really do wonder sometimes why I ever started. IT has taken over. I am fatter and sure I am losing my Hair. My Husband asks who am I ?? My Dog sniffs then walks away. My only friend is my Postman, at least when he brings my Certs on time. Why why why did I ever start ???????

I ask myself the same question Valerie, my Husband tells everyone my hobby is digging up dead relatives. But I do seem to spend more time thinking about the dead than the living, so I can't say he's 100% wrong.

I remember some time ago reading that a member on here had a special Anniversary coming up and her Husband (silly man) asked what she would like, guess what she said ??? to visit Graveyards.

Nothing wrong with that, I dragged mine around one on a wet and cold Wednesday last week. Never found a thing, the stones were too old to read. Came home and found a link on here to a site where they were transcribed.....whoops. Nobody of mine mentioned, I don't think they had the money for headstones.

My computer is upstairs.....I spend from the time I get up, till now......upstairs. I only go down for meals. My animals think I've left home. Everytime I come back upstairs, my parrot shouts 'Byyee are you going for a walk'.....she knows she wont see me for ages. Never mind hubby's downstairs....we only see each other when we pass in the hall.

How comes some of you are putting on weight, surely you don't find time to eat, I've lost pounds (weight as well as £s on certs!)

Been to get something to eat, second time today .I have lost pounds too with the cost of Certs dont dare add it up.But what a fascinating hobby wish I could afford all the Certs I need its only about 400 at the last count.Maybe I could get a little job but then when would I get time for this , on seconds thoughts think I will stay where I am.
