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!

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

A week full of hard work, stress, book piles and computer drudgery but it was also a sort of satisfying week for getting shit done so I'm ok with that. I am tired but hopefully I'll get plenty sleep over the weekend to perk me up! If you are a regular visitor this week you'll have seen my trials with Tackling The TBR and I've written more about it and the stresses this week in my Dog Days post which I'll probably post tomorrow along with Around The Blogs.I never realised I had so much to do on the computer files. I'm deleting things I don't need, recording stuff of interest onto disk to watch later, cataloguing and renaming files to get things better organised and moving stuff into new or altered files. It'll take weeks but I want to go into winter this year with that done and a tidier house, so I'm making good progress on both!

No reading at all this week but finding that added pile of books for the TBR has focused me a bit and FINALLY I picked up a book last night. I discovered that I have four started and then left forgotten so I want to finish them and then go on a spree of shorter reads to get that total down quickly and repair the recent damage. Hopefully motivation won't desert me again! There are a few books I like the look of that are coming out soon but I'll be waiting for paperback copies so that won't damage my TBR anytime soon.

Despite the busy week I have managed to stay on top of things these last few days and that will continue into this weekend.

Films & TV & Music
Not a lot to report here really. Watched a few Harry Potter films each morning while I'm on the computer but didn't have much time to do anything else. I spent most nights watching Coronation Street from 2013 and I'm nearly finished with the year. I plan to watch right through until I get caught up with the current episodes. I need to be catching up a bit before they go back to the 6 episodes a week!

none this week

The Week Ahead 
I need to set at least one night per week aside for these Coronation Street catchups. I'm thinking about week nights for reading and weekends for watching stuff with Friday nights being a whatever I feel like night as I need to read and watch a lot of stuff! I've discovered that I started four books so I really need to finish them and that is my first target.
