Your recipe looks great. I have run out of flour! I love muffins. I might see if I can pop to a shop over the weekend. I hope so.Aiming for a minimal spend 20221

You can experiment with the sugar. I have used normal white sugar in the past instead of brown sugar and I’ve made them with half sugar half sweetener.0% credit card £1360 & 0% Car Loan £7500 ~ paid in full JAN 2020 = NOW DEBT FREE 🤗

Lovely sunny morning. Have been out with the dog for an hour. Just had a banana muffin for breakfast not sure if that is healthy 😆 but was yummy and was something light before I start decorating. Shared an apple with the dog 🐶 Just having a cuppa tea before I start painting.0% credit card £1360 & 0% Car Loan £7500 ~ paid in full JAN 2020 = NOW DEBT FREE 🤗

It is a lovely day to be painting. If you are painting I can make myself clean the bathrooms! It is lovely outside.Aiming for a minimal spend 20221

It had fruit in, of course it was healthy! Besides, you needed something to set you up and keep you going while painting.Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.0

It’s cloudy & spots of rain this morning. Walked the dog for an hour & just had a bacon sandwich 😊.Yesterday I put one coat of paint on 2 walls. Well it’s more like 1 wall as one side has kitchen units & worktop and the other wall is partly covered by the end unit & has the doorway. 2 hours was enough & after a shower I spent the rest of the day relaxing & watching tv.Today I will give them another coat just to cover a few patchy bits. They won’t be visible when I rearrange the room & put the 2 wooden shelving units on top of the worktop, but I will know & don’t want to do half a job. 😉Should only take about an hour.0% credit card £1360 & 0% Car Loan £7500 ~ paid in full JAN 2020 = NOW DEBT FREE 🤗

Bacons are good!
I'm glad you didn't overdo it yesterday and can get it finished off today.
Hopefully the weather will pick up a bit and you can go outside later 😊Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.0 -
