Lego mainly, everything else has arrived.
Hope seat clamp (red), BB bearing press kit, and BB/headset removal tool winging their way to me via Hermes.
Cane Creek Hellbender BB about to be sent as well.
And my Fox transfer dropper is on it's way back to YT in Germany under warranty as it's been sticking down and not fully extending since new, thought I'd take the chance to get it sorted while we're in lockdown.
Anybody ordered from Bike discount.De recently?
I am planning on ordering some forks...
And a full service kit for my car.
New SSD for an old laptop, seamlessly upgraded from Windows Vista to Windows 10 after reading advice on here. Works even without a key (time will tell and there's plenty on Ebay for £4.99) . Now just need a faster drive that doesn't whir like a fan. Due to arrive tomorrow from that purveyor of all things essential in a coronavirus out break, Amazon.
^^^ You have bought boots when you can't go out?
Me? I am waiting on my coffee bean order from Whittard's - ordered a couple of days before they announced a stop on delivery of most items (including all loose coffee beans).
Hopefully arriving tomorrow is a Kurt Kinetic (KK) Inride3 Bluetooth/Ant+ sensor to turn my KK Road Machine turbo trainer from a dumb one to a smart one. It should make turbo training more structured and involving once I have some numbers and graphics in front of me.
All the other gear including turbo trainer tyre and front wheel riser support are lurking in the garage. If it goes well I'll order a heart monitor to complete the package.
More stocks of isopropyl alcohol arrived today.
15 bags of postcrete to give me something to do when I am off work
A bath + panel, 2 60KG+ radiators, a 40KG glass shower panel, £600 worth of tiles, about half a kitchen's worth of units and two worktops. 😬 It was all ordered long before the lockdown.
Looking forward to lugging the rads and glass panel from the kerbside into the house on my own 😁
Handmade STW approved niche red leather tool roll from eBay.
Fire on pop open a red and then carefully select essential tools for carrying in the motor, for when this all ends.
My Love Honey order.
They are like watermelons right now
A comfy office/gaming chair. Badly needed as back killing me. 3rd week of WFH, 8 hour days of IT support on ageing dining chair. Hoping my Dirt Rally times will improve too! Seen the new Colin McRae season? 'kin hard
Few hundred Nitrile gloves.
Line6 POD HD5000X.
New 510s.
STW coffee mug and timber bell (and magazine!)
Assist bib shorts.
Pair of Conti 5000TL in 25mm.
KTM rear pads which have arrived, thank you Fowlers.
KTM/Brembo/Toshiba front pads (4 per calliper, so 8 in all), from somewhere in Europe, they're on the way.
Impulse purchase from Wiggle, some TLD 5/10 Boa's and cleat plates, hopefully turning up tomorrow and then the hideous red/vermillion shoes along with my normal riding attire will ensure everyone gives me social distance or risk going blind😂😂😂
and a tee shirt with the Red album dial logo.
Great call. I might need one too. Been playing the Thrak box set a lot lately.
A new-in-box ZX Spectrum and a copy of Daley Thompson’s Decathalon.
Be careful, your fingers aren’t as young as the once were.
Starless And Bible Black
Have you got the Cross/Fripp album “Starless Starlight”…? Is very good.
My Singletrack order arrived today 😁 so the girls won't need to worry for Fathers Day and with a bit of luck my Gin Club delivery will be tomorrow.
Shimano RT66 rotor in 180mm flavor as the current ones worryingly thin.
We ordered a 10-litre beer box from our awesome local Howard Town Brewery, which was then randomly and unexpectedly delivered by our physio in his liveried van. It was all quite disconcerting, but not unwelcome.
I’m ordering nothing,did you know there is a national emergency?
Bit more complicated than that bud. Got an incinerator coming so I can get rid of the hedge trimmings.
Ordered a Saris S3 on Saturday night - showing as 'in stock' on bikeshop website. By Monday morning, that had changed to 'end April Delivery', and has now rolled back to '23 June". Bit of a 'first world' problem undoubtedly, but it would have been nice to get sooner, so I can get Mrs DJ set up with her bike to use over the next few weeks.
Nothing ordered currently. But staying in for 3 weeks means I have a few quid to spend on a new surfboard. I fancy something around 6ft 2 and 35 litres of which there's plenty of choice. It makes buying a new bike look easy. But do I buy now or hope for a corona virus sale when shops need to shift a few boards that would have sold over Easter?
5 litres of Isopropyl to make some hand sanitizer.
Seller claims it’s been sent but nothing after 10 days. 🙂 I bought from the same seller previously so thought it a safe bet.
@eddiebaby - arrived this morning! The weather for the weekend dictates that I will be wearing the tee shirt tomorrow, and I might well sit out in the sunshine and sew the Discipline patch onto my little canvas bag that I take everywhere.
The poster, on the other hand, will have to wait until I can organise a suitable frame.
It all came packed into a nice hefty cardboard tube, as well, so easy for the nice postie to leave on the doorstep!
Something else I ordered was a bunch of plastic side-release buckles; I’ve got some Eagle Creek nylon travel belts, had them for years, but the buckles break after a while, and similar cam-lock buckles don’t seem to be available, or at least, several hours cumulatively searching the interwebz hasn’t found any, so I’ve got some side-release buckles which also arrived this morning, so I spent this afternoon removing the old buckles and stitching the new ones onto the nylon webbing belts. I’ve also got hold of some more webbing with reflective strips in to make some more belts. Nice and easy to do, perfect for shorts, last for donks! 😁
My trusty cheapo Lidl wireless multi tool packed in and I discovered that Draper sell the exact same tool for £35, plus the batteries are compatible with some of their other 10.8v stuff so just waiting for that and a 3/8th cordless ratchet. Won't be very powerful but still, handy things especially when there's not much space- break the bolt loose by hand if need be then spin it out by POWAH rather than with a million tiny ratchets
Singletrack t-shirt arrived yesterday, only waiting for some Uberbike brake pads due tomorrow
My Screwfix delivery of some LED lamps, screws and a 10" adjustable spanner.
My eBay order of a DeWalt storage box - deciding if I should that or my orange Peli-case as my new toolbox.
Oh and my 6'x3' garden store - just need to sort out clearing the area it's going in and putting the slabs down.....
Boots arrived. They were a good deal. So I'll flog my various DMs to pay for them.

@seadog101 – what pen did you get?
Ha! nothing super s****y or exotic, I have a thing for Rotring Tikky multi pens, red, black, and a machanical pencil all-in-one.
Might splash out on a Rotring 800 ballpoint. 😃
A maple fretless bass neck. Currently playing one which i pulled the frets out and filled which is fine but the truss rod has a problem and won't hold it straight so needed a new new. Also doesn't have a shaped headstock so a bit of wood working to do to fill some time at the weekend.
Well it would have but I ordered it last Sunday and they only sent it yesterday so now a good Easter weekend task.
Still waiting for stuff to arrive but this turned up this morning...
I fell for a Facebook ad, got all sentimental and have ordered a music box for Mrs Danny that plays 'You Are My Sunshine' and has a suitably sloppy phrase engraved on it.
Going to be at least 2 weeks I think until I get it...
Oh and a passive preamp with the most drop dead gorgeous shunt attenuator in it you have ever seen...

Needs pictures!
Webcam, mike and tripod. New business venture in rapid growth market.
No, not really.
Did just order a Firestick.
Also, Super Monkey Ball for the Gamecube (!) and a replacement genuine controller to replace the definitely not genuine one that went boobs vertical.
@eddiebaby - when it is my possession I will post pics. You'll need a 5 minutes and a quiet spot with some tissues handy though if shunt attenuators are your thing...
Cotic FlareMax
Zoom MS-70 Effects Pedal
Some cool new biking threads from The Overland
A whole batch of spicy stuff from Mr Vikki's. Proper tasty all of it. The tamarind chipotle chutney is a game changer.
Ordered a few little bike bits on ebay all at once, first one of four arrived but its not what I ordered, trouble is there is no paperwork with it so I don't even know which supplier has sent it to me and won't until the other bits get delivered... 🙄
Needed to replace rear disc on the Enduro, so went up a size as well, so from 180mm to 200mm, so just fitted that along with the +20mm bracket from Hope, waiting on a bolt on mudguard from RRP which should neaten things up at the front, (not that it's that muddy right now)
24 cans of Thornbridge IPA just landed. That’s my (birthday) weekend sorted!
Marino frame, apparently it was going to be shipped from Peru the day the country went into lockdown.
Don't think a merino frame will be much cop mate 😉
