A pair of rivelo bib shorts from sport pursui.
Was waiting for a Garmin 245, mostly to feed my homeworking cardiovascular paranoia. Ordered next day but thanks the Herpes 'mislaying' it, it's taken 2 weeks to get an offer of a refund from Wiggle.
In the mean time decided hydraulicising the gravel bike was a better idea, the old 105 stis have been through about 4 bikes and are getting glitchy.
On the subject of Wiggle, they and CRC seem to be price gouging Tiagra 4720 Shifters at 320GBP while Bike24 and BikeDiscount have them under 200 euros the pair. Nearly half the price!
Anyways, waiting on a Tiagra groupset minus the calipers and chainset. Where best to get mineral oil?

Some paints from Humbrol for a recently purchased Airfix Stuka and some modeling knives and replacement blades.
Oh my herpes.
The company who have not heard of sat nav.
Every time they try to deliver to my house they claim they cannot find it.
Ordered a new saddle for the propel after deciding since I was spending so much time on turbo I should move my age old flite on there. Nice SLR 165 much reduced on wiggle . Comfy saddles just don't last long enough to justify full price.
Ooni still not here but at least they are honest about it rather than Hermes. They are just over whelmed and understaffed /isolating
Waiting on winstanleys dispatching the new headset up to replace the old snapped cup. ..... Ooni might beat them
Currently waiting for this:
And a tin of blue spray paint for the Tamiya RC Car me and the boy are currently building.
We actually had a 'We tried to deliver but you were out' type card from DPD yesterday. Considering I was sat no more than 5m from the front door I was impressed with their laziness.
Also waiting on a ball valve to make my snow foam adaptor... if you've seen the paint work on my cars you would wonder why? Hey.. marketing works...and it looks cool... it's the first time in years I've had a drive and been able to wash my cars at home!
Beer from Electric Bear, joined Flavourly beer discovery club and bought their 20 pack.... should keep me going!
Beer from Siren Craft Brewery.

So far I've bought sis recovery drink, energy gels, a Garmin edge 530 and some Conti GP5000's.
Waiting for a couple of new pairs of bibs, a loud but discounted morvelo top off CRC and one of those new Rockshox air shaft upgrade kits with the nut.
Definitely some boredom spending from me!
I spent the first few weeks trying to be good and minimise the work people were having to do in warehouses and via delivery, then caved and ordered resistance bands, a new Captains of crush hand grip trainer (the 1.0), a pizza oven, then realised I needed some new bbq gloves as I've burnt through the old ones, some charcoal, some smoking wood, some frame tape to clean and repair the wedding photos that have thunder bugs in them, coffee several deliveries of coffee, beer from siren, an office chair as I've been on a dining chair for 5 weeks and it sucks. I think that's about it.
I am currently eyeing up either a new TV or some floor standing speakers to replace my stand mount Mordaunt shorts which are 12/13 years old now. But I need neither of these things.
I have 3 frames incoming 6 weeks out at least .
Norco DJ , Privateer 161 and lastly a Morph steel FS.
Had all the build kit arrive and honestly the cardboard fills an entire blue bin. Its shameful.
Accidentally bought an AudioEngine D1 DAC. Can't even say these are "lockdown" purchases but I'm pleasing myself with rewards as I've been 4 months off cigs completely and the difference is, this time I WANT to stay stopped. Amazing how much extra cash you have when you're not spending close to $40 on a pack!
Quite the week for me waiting and watching the letterbox....
A stack of beer from Abbeydale Brewery and Wold Top
Some merch from STW
3 new smoke detectors to replace the ones that expired 3 years ago!!!
A new beard/hair trimmer, finally bought something decent
Running shoes
Hair clippers
Vostok watch from Russia
Cadisen watch from China
Aluminium clipboard
Brass tweezers
A book
In my defence - I'm still working, in fact doing overtime, and one of the watches is for someone else.
That Amazon orders tab is a bit scary. I've been using them since 2002
Actually starting to really annoy me, waiting for some C spanners for my new Tein shocks for the legacy. I've got a couple of other jobs that I'll do at the same time but these are just super slow and the whole thing's stuck for the sake of a £7 tool.
(the cheap angle grinder I bought from china arrived faster ffs)
When all this started my banking online wasn't working properly, I could get inside the account but not the transactions. So, with a bit of concerned forward planning, deferred gratification and encouragement from on here, I ordered some beer. And some more, got to keep these breweries going. Last week the phone starts working properly and I check the transactions. My giddy aunt, I could have had carbon wheels or a Campag groupset. At least the beer's made here and makes the bikes feel lighter.
A groupset and new saddle from Germany.
A saddle from CRC that has been with the courier for a few days now but is now showing as being returned to sender, delivery never attempted.
A Hitch spacer for my tiddly little trailer, no rush on that as the trailer's at my parent's house.
My first pair of clipless pedals. Shimano M520 to see if I get on with them on the road bike.
If I do they'll go on the MTB and I'll buy more road appropriate cliplessness (if such a thing exists).
Blind bearing puller from Amazon
Rucksack and buff from Terra Nova
Usb battery from Ali Express - likely lost in transit as it was ordered ages ago.
‘Kin bike industry!
All the required bits for my bike are either with me or the manufacturer, except the fork which, despite being ‘released’ at the beginning of April, (probably) won’t be with the disti until mid June (2021 36 in black, it’s the end of July if you want it in metallic brown root beer). I get the whole c19 thing has causes delays, but first batches other model forks (38, all colours released at the time are now in stock and shipped to dealers, and this was in full swing when they released the fork. I also get that smaller companies need to drum up a bit of interest/cash with preorders etc so they don’t get screwed with stock, shouldn’t be an issue with Fox.
First world problems I know, woe is me etc, but still.
Could be worse, I’m 18 months in to waiting for some cranks that were supposed to take 3, and 3 months in to a 9 month wait for brakes. Good things and that...
