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!
Another week gone and here I am battling Blogger again to get a few simple posts up and edited. It really does drive me a bit mad, especially when I have a couple of book tag type things to do! I hope to get them up this week but no promises on that score. I've been lazing around watching TV and trying to stay warm as it has been bitter cold with snow and ice most of this week. Even answering the door to delivery men has sent waves of chill into the house. I'm very grateful for my heating and my warm duvet for sure, and I pity the poor sods that have to sleep rough in this perishing weather. Not much reading to report but I plan to start a new read tonight.
A few books came in that I ordered so I sneaked them onto the TBR before I re-start my Tackling The TBR Challenge this coming week! Look out for a post around the 14th of the month. I'm pretty much sorted on clearing my room and it's great to have things a bit better, but it won't be fully done until I get on with reading tons and getting them packed off to charity shops! This needs to be a year of getting shit done-reading, watching films, catching up on TV series, watching my favourite reality TV and other tasks that never seem to get done like my news scrapbooks. So far behind in everything...
Chuckles Blogging World
Did some blog visits earlier today and will be catching up with comments through the weekend as usual, and then try and do these booktag things if Blogger co-operates!

The Week Ahead
I have 1 shelf for unread books, and my Christmas haul made it overflow. I also need to start reading and then take a ton of books to the used bookstore. Good luck with your goals!
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
I just wish the charity shops would open again. We have four binbags of clothes, two bags of cds, one dvds and four bags of books waiting to be taken!
DeleteThe bitter cold of January is never any fun, is it? Hope you have a good weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteIt has been bitter for sure! There is supposed to be a Beast from the East storm coming but no sign of it here yet. I dread more really cold weather as it's bloody tiring to clear snow and ice when packages and workmen are due!
DeleteIt’s freezing, was minus six here last night, even the dog is feeling the cold.
ReplyDeleteMakes me glad I have a very warm tog duvet to hide under!
DeleteSneaking them onto the TBR, hahaha. I do that, too... Enjoy the new books!
ReplyDeleteSneak them on before the 7th, start the TBR challenge on the 8th!
DeleteI do not enjoy being cold and am trying to go outside as little as possible. I'm pretty much surrounded by unread books right now but I still believe I will get them read. I'm trying to figure out a bit of an organized system in the next month or two.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to come up with ideas to get me reading fiction again. I tried a couple of Harry Potter re-reads to see if that sparks me off a bit!
DeleteI hope that I am able to catch up on some things this year myself! Yeah, I am not a fan of the cold and couldn't imagine not having adequate heat. I hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI have to venture out early each morning to feed the squirrels and it is always baltic! I come back in shivering!
DeleteI haven't had any issues with blogger in a while so I'm sorry to hear that it's still driving you bonkers! :( Hopefully, you'll triumph in the end.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the catching up! Scrap-booking sounds nice a soothing (until it piles up on you.)
I'm just going to have to suffer the annoying bits if I'm going to have a blog I guess! By triumph, it could mean putting my foot through the screen! Doing the scrapbooks the way I do it is far from relaxing!
