Claire Routh: August 2008

http://clairerouth.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html

Musings of a girl. Sunday, 31 August 2008. Gossip girls and boys. I'm not saying I'm an angel and that I've never heard something scandalous and passed it on. I'm also not claiming to have superhuman abilities to ensure that I remember things word for word and repeat them as such, without altering any inflection whatsoever. I just do not understand why it's so effing difficult to keep one's mouth shut, and to not deliberately stir things. Claire "quite pissed off now" Routh. Tuesday, 26 August 2008.

Claire Routh: December 2008

http://clairerouth.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html

Musings of a girl. Thursday, 25 December 2008. It's predictable, yes, but I would honestly like to wish you little lot a very happy Christmas. I hope you've had good days, and will enjoy the next few too. Two of the many many highlights of my day (I got so many amazing presents):. So I thought I would share it with you.here it is:. In 40 years, when you are old. If I may be quite so bold). When you have a housewife been. To the needs of children seen. Then from this you'd take a sip. To 8 years forward.

Claire Routh: October 2008

http://clairerouth.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html

Musings of a girl. Thursday, 16 October 2008. So, I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. All my blood test results from the other day came back normal, so I went back to see the doctor and he said that whilst there's no test for it as such, he would confidently diagnose me with it. Yay. Mild end of the scale, of course, some people with CFS can't walk across a room. He told me not to run my half marathon in February. I have never wanted to ignore a doctor's advice so much, as now.

Claire Routh: Mephedrone

http://clairerouth.blogspot.com/2010/03/mephedrone.html

Musings of a girl. Friday, 26 March 2010. Mephedrone is all over the news at the moment, because some people have died as a result of taking it as a recreational drug. A quick Google will provide you with all the heart-rending interviews with distraught parents that you could ever need on the subject. You don't walk into Tesco, buy a bottle of bleach, drink it and then wonder why you're rather ill and complain that it's legal so you thought it was okay to drink. I dont know whether making it illegal is r...

Claire Routh: October 2009

http://clairerouth.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html

Musings of a girl. Friday, 30 October 2009. Home is where the heart is? What makes a place home? I ask because I'm currently in the odd situation of living in two places; it's pretty much a case of one night here and the next there, the next back here and the next back there, and repeat ad nauseum. Ad nauseum because it's surprisingly stressful - I never really unpack, just put one set of clothing in the wash at wherever I am and pack the next set. PS Hi, sorry I haven't been around much. Bad Claire.

Claire Routh: November 2008

http://clairerouth.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html

Musings of a girl. Friday, 28 November 2008. I know, I know.two blog posts in as many hours, bad me! However. I just laughed myself silly at an article in the December edition. Sadly it's not online so I shall have to type up bits from it. All I want for Christmas. Isn't a boyfriend, thank you very much, says Tracy Ramsden. Okay, fair play. Christmas is a time of couples and love, and sometimes it's bloody depressing to be single. At this point, I was thinking "yeah! And other 90s catchphrases. Aaaaand i...

Claire Routh: January 2009

http://clairerouth.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html

Musings of a girl. Friday, 9 January 2009. Apathy and lucky escapes. Why are people so bloody unwilling to listen to professionals? Why do they take the easy route? Why do they think they're sodding. Say you thought you had something medically wrong with you. It turns out you don't have the serious thing you were worried about, but instead you have something else wrong with you which can be easily fixed through better diet and more exercise. What do you do? And then you come out with the classic line "Bu...

Claire Routh: February 2009

http://clairerouth.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html

Musings of a girl. Saturday, 7 February 2009. I really miss running. I haven't run for a good few months now, and sadly the weather is no excuse since I have a gym membership- though the motivation to GO to the gym in the first place is admittedly lacking. I don't know how to go about falling back in love with it. I don't think they do couples counselling for sports. But I wish they did. Any ideas? I miss it so much it sometimes hurts, but I just don't know how to re-find my love for it.

Claire Routh: June 2008

http://clairerouth.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html

Musings of a girl. Saturday, 28 June 2008. The force of habit. I was thinking about the way that habits and routines make actions habitual and routine. This was prompted by being in the shower this morning. As a general rule, my routine goes like so:. Get wet (Ben, stop smirking). Put conditioner on hair. I do this every day, at least once a day, and have carried out this exact routine for, ooh, 9 years or so? I'd shampooed my hair? Which gear do I need to be in? Because my mind's gone completely blank&#...
