    Was? Is surely :rotfl:. It's not very chocolaty or porty but nice anyway :D.

    Just posted this on another thread so thought I'd put it on here as well. Sorry about busting the screen size ;).

    I presume this is payments until you are mortgage free? If so, really liking that idea and so is Mrs. K. :)

    Not quite - each brick is 1k. Am sure you could do something more creative Alex. Probably using green ink or something :rotfl:.

    I've only done it with outstanding mortgage - but no reason you shouldn't do it based on house value so you could include your equity as well?

    You really do have a bit of "a thing" about my green ink, don't you? ;)

    Ok, no construction geek for me - but I did catch Grease! It was a right singalong in the BlueMoo household.

    That house looks great!
    Will you turn the bricks green once the payments have been made?
