D'oh! Better get started... I wanna be Mortgage Free!!

Wawuka Froggy,

Now, I realise this might be a bit of a flyer, but...

There's a lot of talk about people making up pictures of their house and colouring in bricks of the picture to represent the percentage of mortgage paid off. I like the idea but I think there's room for improvement. How about you turn it up to 11 and, in celebration of such a landmark achievement, paint the furthermost left 10% of your house blue. Over time, you'd be able to do the whole French flag and, more to the point, none of your adoring hordes would have any trouble finding your place and popping in for a cup of tea.

I'm sure your prospective letting agents would love the idea. That way, any new tenants could be reminded on a daily basis how much of your mortgage they are paying off!

Cheers,

Billy

Think OH will shoot me if I ever present this idea, especially the French flag..

I do agree we need a visual representation of the journey to mortgage freedom though...

Hoping a lower blood pressure reading signals a 180 degree turn in your fortunes good sir.

Hear hear (apart from the 1st part in case it's an ancient Gaelic curse or something )

Maybe it could be part of the tenancy agreement they have to paint it as and when required :rotfl:

My cholesterol is high as well..

Hi Froggy,

I too had cholestrol (slightly above normal) for some time a few months back and it improved when I had Flora Pro-Activ Probiotic Yogurt Drink daily for almost a month. BTW, I am not a medic, but I hoped this might help you.

Wishing you lots of luck and Best Regards.

Hope all goes well at doctors tomorrow. When you're having BP done don't talk and make sure you sit with both feet flat on the floor (both of these can affect reading if not done).

I like the idea of a visual representation of house ownership but I am not creative or imaginative enough so I will just have to watch my balance go down instead!

:rotfl: on the idea of a french flag painted all over your house!! good luck persuading the OH with that

sounds like you are feeling a bit more positive- well done on the swimming! hope the blood pressure has come down a bit- I found accupuncture and exercise helped me with it for sure ...

another one glad its only 24 hrs till the weekend!
