Chuckles Weekend Roundup

Welcome to my feature Chuckles Weekend Roundup where I will be looking at what books I've received, anything interesting I've done or bought or watched and other random stuff. I'll be taking a look back at what happened in my blogging world too, sort of like The Sunday Post that some of you do! 

Please note that I'll be visiting your STS/SP as normal, but I don't follow or leave comments on blogs run by Google Plus, or DISQUS as I refuse to join something just to leave comments, and I won't allow DISQUS to follow new people, update my profile or post tweets 'on my behalf'. I am the only one who does that on my social media! I won't comment on any blog that makes me sign in using another account. Sometimes, I have problems leaving messages on blogs hosted by Wordpress-they try to block me because I deleted my account with them but I will persevere as it only happens the odd time!

 I haven't been doing much this week other than minor tidying in the kitchen. We'll be finishing a few little things in there today and the kitchen is done. The new shower curtain is up and looks great so I just need to do the stained glass sticker on the window and the bathroom is done. I put my new rugs in my bedroom and I love them-one over my reading chair to give a nice fake fur to lean on and the other beside my bed. There is also a new big rug for the living room which is soft, padded and colourful! I also got new measuring spoons and the thing to juice the fruit by hand as I lost mine. Here are photos of the items as seen on Amazon where you can buy them if you like them.

I've managed to do a bit of reading but not as much as I'd like. I need to get stuck in and get as much done as I can in the last week of the month. I hope to maybe fit in three more reads which is going to make a disappointing total for the month for me. I'm also sharing today the other things I ordered from Amazon that are here this week. My book buying is way down on last year so far which is good-I'm still buying books in series I'm following but no real impulse buys which is good! I'm also making good progress in deleting books from my e-reader and getting a few bags of books ready for the charity shop!

Chuckles Blogging World

I've been trying to keep up with comments and blog visits but I was running a few days behind at the start of last week! I'm also trying to do a few tidy up tasks on Goodreads and hunting down episodes of obstacle course racing and food competitions on the likes of YouTube.
