I am so proud to be British, we have the best food, the best country, the best weather...oh wait, but we do have a beautiful countryside! Thanks to Rebecca at Brunette Lifestyle for the tag!

How many cups of tea do you have a day? How many sugars?

I reckon 1 or 2 a day, either green tea or your typical breakfast tea. I love a good cup of green tea but there's some kind of comfort in having a great cup of breakfast tea. 

Favourite part of the roast?

Mmm, this is difficult and making me so hungry. My Dad can whip up a great roast dinner, so I reckon his yorkshire puddings, but for me a roast dinner is never complete without some carrots!

Favourite dunking biscuit?

Er rich tea, is this not obvious?! They are literally made for dunking.

Favourite quintessentially British past-time?

Baking, obviously.

Favourite British word?

Cheeky. That's British enough right?

Cockney rhyming slang?

Elephant's Trunk for Drunk.

Favourite British sweet?

Fizzy bubblegum bottles, I used to eat them all the time...

What would your pub be called?

Adele's Place, original I know, there would be copious amounts of wine and cocktails, and free wifi and bloggers from everywhere could hang out and share their ideas and work together. Sounds fun right?

No. 1 British person?

This is so hard! I've been thinking about baking recently (duh, when am i not), so Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood would be up there. I also saw them cook live at the Good Food Show which was good!

Favourite shop/ restaurant?

My favourite shop has to be Hema, or maybe Tiger, it originates from the Netherlands I believe and they have so many different great things for pretty good prices too. Check out their website here so you can see how great it is.

What's the first British song that pops into your head?

One Direction of course, Night Changes.

Marmite- love or hate?

Love, I do have to be in the right mood for it though.


If you've taken the time to read all of this then I tag YOU. Yes, you. Only if you're British of course.

This Girl Can

This Girl Can. This Girl Can. This Girl Can.

I mean just reading that, does that make you a little motivated? Does it make you think I can do this? Because we can. Now watch this and tell me that it doesn't make you inspired? That it doesn't make you want to get out there and do everything you wish to do?

I will rarely post spontaneously, and I will rarely post twice a day, and I apologise (I actually really don't) if you hate when people post twice a day but this is way too good to wait. 

I know you enjoyed that video, and if you didn't please explain how you couldn't! If you read my post earlier today, or if you didn't read it below, then you will see that I have in fact lost weight this week but I am still struggling a little to be positive. 

Well I've found my motivation, I have found the one thing that I know will get me motivated everyday. Whenever I feel myself doubting what I am doing or reaching for that bar of chocolate, I will watch this and I will instantly feel positive again. 

This video instantly made me smile, because we can do it, and we will get there, no matter how long it takes. 

All I ask is that you share this post with your friends and family and all your lovely followers to tell them that they can, they just can.

Because This Girl CAN. And This Girl WILL.

New Year Update #2

Last week I told you I was doing something exciting during the week. I wouldn't exactly call it exciting anymore, more like a really tough 4 days that I probably wouldn't do again. 

I did a cleanse for 4 days and while I was really hoping to lose more - I lose 2 lbs in total. There were definitely mood swings and really, really low points. If you have the determination to do it then you should definitely go for it. Don't get me wrong, I'm pleased that I lost some weight but I'm not sure it was worth doing it all that. I've dug out my gym kit and I'm just going to get down the gym more often. I mean if I take my gym stuff to work then I have no choice but to go after!!

I've also cleared out all my good so there is only healthy ingredients left. It's a good start right?

I also did a Tesco order of tonnes of veg! I'm feeling way more positive now.

It also helps when you get friends telling you that you look better!

Baby steps!

Is anyone else struggling? or do you have any good motivation for me?
