How To Make Your Family Happy

As hard as I tried to please everyone last week, 

it was inevitable that at some point I would fail.

And fail I did, majorly.

I knew Lizzie would love Topshop, and I knew my mom and dad wouldn't like it...

 but since we had already spent a lot of time doing museums and art galleries, 

I thought it was fair to take her on a little shopping trip.

Oh boy did I think wrong.

Enter major family meltdown.  

While I'll spare you of the finer details, 

I will say that I was super pleased that the next activity on our itinerary was 

Borough Market....

If my family can agree on anything, its food.

Actually thats a lie, sometimes we can't agree on food.

But we can agree on eating.

And what's better than a food market for that - everyone can pick what they want!

My mom and Lizzie split a curry...

And my dad got his double burger fix.

I of course opted for a more veggie friendly option...

And Nick got a hotdog

(no homo)

On top of that we inhaled the stinky smell of raclette cheese melting away...

We also purchased lemon polenta cake (oh my gosh yum!)

truffle oil and truffle paste among loads of tasty free samples.   

All I can say is...

Thank God my family likes food as much as they do...

Otherwise the meltdown in Top Shop could have escalated to something like this....

Yes those are riot police and that is paint splattered on the front of Top Shop.  

Don't worry it wasn't our fault.

Lot's of protesters took London by storm on Sunday.  

Eeeeeeeeeeeeek.

But let's not talk politics here.

In other news, to recover from last weeks eating spree

I am currently on my first day of a 3 day juice only detox.

I feel pretty bitchy, so wish me luck.

Then on Monday the husband and I are starting Crazy Sexy Diet.  

21 days of no gluten, animal, sugar, alcohol or caffeine!

Operation get healthy is on!

Who's with me?
