Hi Tinky

I think thats a bargain. I have added up all my credits so far bought in a year on here and it comes to £120! £5 here and there you *dont miss* but if you add it up its quite shocking.

At least you can look up things as much as you like with no extra charges.

Tina you could try having Ancestry for £9.95 a month, even if you only subscribe every other month or so

The monthly fee has gone up by a £1 with no notice. I was told that as I was a guest member (free trial) I shouldn't have expected an email about increases.

Can't exactly blame rising petrol prices, can they?! Ridiculous. Better to let it lapse then phone em up and tell them your mate got it for £55.

I thought they had a duty to inform if a direct debit type payment was going up?
