	......... get an uncontrollable urge to go and order a certificate when you haven't got your notes with you so have no clue which one you should really order next and which ones you've already got. I suppose this is the genealogical version of compulsive shopping

	And I had a turn-out of the bag I take to and from work, to find that I've been carrying around an 1895 death certificate and two photocopies for four months.
