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!

****************

This has been a really stressful week. Since last weekend I was worrying about my dentist appointment. I dragged myself in yesterday to face my fears only to find out to my embarrassment that my appointment was actually Tuesday and I'd missed it! To say I felt like an idiot was putting it mildly plus I have to wait two weeks for the next appointment! All that stress for nothing!!! Still I can forget about it for a while. Not much else happening except my spice rack is now up and the kitchen is finally tidy so nothing else needs to be done to it at the moment. At some point I'll clear the unwanted dishes out the cupboard to give me a little more space but there's no rush to do it. Today my dad is taking the junk to the dump which will clear the hall and give me space back.

On the book side of things, the only thing that arrived was another book in a series by Darrell Maloney that I'm following so I was very good! I did buy a few other things Game of Thrones related-a lovely soft throw to keep me cozy when I watch season eight this year. The picture I found of it isn't great and the colours are actually much better!

 

Then I bought these gorgeous things-I love wolves and I figured they looked like something the Starks would drink out of so I treated myself to these as well. I can have a nice drinky with them as I watch the new season!

Chuckles Blogging World

This week I decided to re-evaluate my blog and how I could better use my time. I'll be scheduling my posts during the week and catching up with all blog visits and answering comments at the weekends, leaving midweek free for other things. Hopefully I can find more time for reading and Pinterest!

Currently Reading/Up Next

I actually got more read than I thought-I finished Primordia 2, Cruel Candy, Breakdown and A skeleton in the family as well as DNFing The Dog and a couple of Ryan Casey books. Most of these were for the Puppy Love Challenge. This week it's a new month and I'm tackling a few winter adventures first!
