Black on paper copy, red on spreadsheet copy! I'll print a new copy in January that shows what month and year each block was coloured, then I start a fresh with colouring in black marker. In 2016 I want to colour 12 bricks in (must put that as a new target in post 1)!MFW: Was: £136,000.......Now: £47,736.58......0
