Slight Hill + My Dynamique = Hard Work

Hi all,

I've recently noticed that my Clio seems to have a hatred for tiny hills.
I travel up the same road nearly everyday and it's starting to irritate me. The road is only slightly on a gradient.

Scenario: I pull off the roundabout onto the road in third, then shortly change into fourth and then sometimes fifth. In both fourth I have my foot down to the floor and it doesn't seem to gain any speed what so ever. Normally sticks around 55mph. The car is fine on a flat road but once on a slight gradient it seems to struggle and not gain any speed what so ever even with my foot to the ground.

Any ideas on whats causing it?
Cheers
