Okies, thanks for this. I’ve now made the corrections - I see what went wrong 
Now, because it’s Tuesday, I thought it would be fun to test and pretend the weekend goes from 17:00 on a Monday to 23:59 on a Tuesday. Unfortunately, the placement of that if statement isn’t causing the timer to say “It’s the weekend” today (Tuesday), it’s just giving me a “6 days, 2hrs, etc, etc” read out.
I’ll be honest, I’m really thankful for the help but this whole thing has me massively confused!
I’ve pasted the two files (both head.js and body.js) below. Head.js seems to look after the displaying of “It’s the weekend”, so the thing in body.js seems kinda pointless.
Head.js

if (!document.getElementById || !document.getElementById(container)) return
this.container=document.getElementById(container)
this.currentTime=new Date()
var now=new Date();
var Y = now.getFullYear();
var m = now.getMonth();
var d = now.getDate();
var date = new Date();
while (date.getDay() != 1) {
date = new Date(Y,m,++d);
}
this.targetdate = new Date(Y,m,d,17,0,0);
this.timesup=false
this.updateTime()
}
cdtime.prototype.updateTime=function(){
var thisobj=this
this.currentTime.setSeconds(this.currentTime.getSeconds()+1)
setTimeout(function(){thisobj.updateTime()}, 1000) //update time every second
}
cdtime.prototype.displaycountdown=function(baseunit, functionref){
this.baseunit=baseunit
this.formatresults=functionref
this.showresults()
}
cdtime.prototype.showresults=function(){
var thisobj=this
var timediff=(this.targetdate-this.currentTime)/1000 //difference btw target date and current date, in seconds

/////CUSTOM FORMAT OUTPUT FUNCTIONS BELOW//////////////////////////////
//Create your own custom format function to pass into cdtime.displaycountdown()

//For example, if “baseunit” is set to “minutes”, arguments[0] and arguments[1] become meaningless etc
