I've just had 15l of macerator toilet cleaner delivered, anyone able to beat that for dullness?
I was going to say 'silicon cupcake cases' but yours comfortably beats mine.
I've had multiple deliveries of rain this week.
Bright orange handlebar grips; new phone case; a supply of ActiveRoot energy chews and some trinket.
All dull, but all providing a bit of excitement when they arrive...
A load of boxes half an hour ago...
10 x 0.25mm headset microspacers.
And yes, I used all of them so could just have ordered 1 x 2.5mm spacer at a fraction of the cost 🙄
I'm waiting for a 20g tub of Molykote TP 42 Special Grease for Star Ratchets.
Flea and worm treatments for the dog. Fairly unexciting
I got some knock-off oral-b toothbrush heads.
Although it is quite exciting as there are several different brush patterns. And they were only a tenner for 16.

150 cable ties. 3x50 different sizes/lengths.
5 ink refill cartridges for a Nor 3/9 price gun arrived today....🤷♂️
shower door seal
150 cable ties. 3×50 different sizes/lengths.
Zip ties are always exciting, imagine having a full selection of sizes always to hand! I remember the halcyon days when I even had a selection of colours 🤩
Now my five year old just finds them and zips them up out of badness (or perhaps just because he likes the noise, but I attribute it to badness 😣)
A d-lock and 2 sets of rim brake pads for my wife, who needed new brake pads and a new d-lock.
Also, a howies jersey, not ordered from them in years as they seemed to not be able to size things for ages, i.e. massive necks and arms and slender bodies. This xl jersey is just a bit tighter than my skin, so I'll give up on them again, shame, used to love their stuff.
3x 2.5L Prestone Extreme screen wash
2 packs of silicone ear plugs
That's pretty dull
selection of colours
I've have a few different colours but struggle to use anything other black.
A replacement pair of Espedrilles. Just in time for the rainy weather. Life doesn't move at a faster pace.
I still think I'm winning
An airer.
Winning
480 pouches of cat food ?
£1.50 worth of thermal paste?
I got a 3 deliveries for the office below my flat because they don't know their own address so used mine! I don't even know what was in them
20 bags of topsoil?
Would have picked it up, but a neighbour was getting a massive load, so a stuck a few extra bags on.
Except they sent the wrong stuff, 2 pallets of potting compost and 1 of bark.
So, yeah, not only not exciting, it went straight back to the depot and they've refunded.
FFS
30 interdental brushes. Yellow, 0.7mm diameter. Rock and roll 🤟
I got some knock-off oral-b toothbrush heads.
I bought some like that once - the bristles kept coming out.
2 x 1m rolls of 10mm double-sided Velcro as I've misplaced the two I bought 12 months ago
Two bottles of coffee machine descaler.
First attempt from Amazon they sent two bottle of milk system cleaner instead. Was slightly surprised they actually made me return them when I reported the error.
3 replacement tapes for my labeller. It's taken me nearly five years to use one, but they were on offer 😉 So if anyone needs an emergency tape replacement for a brother labeller, hit me up as our US colleagues are want to say 🙂
I was still excited tho. I had things to label.
I have Schrödinger's parcel waiting at home. Largeish and delivered by Evri but I don’t remember ordering anything. It may be something exciting right up to the moment I observe the contents and win this thread 😸
10 x 0.25mm headset microspacers.
I still remember the trouble I had with the integrated headset on my Jeffsy before I became aware that such things existed. Hidden away somewhere in a Cane Creek headset manual.
48 toilet rolls just arrived. Who gives a crap.
To be fair it'd be a fairly iffy 'delivery' without that delivery.
A d-lock and 2 sets of rim brake pads for my wife,
Upping the anti from the fluffy handcuffs then.
We've had a delivery of leotard glue. Apparently it does what it says on the tin, and will preserve my daughters modesty at her next event.
I do wonder if you have to stand while it sets in case you end up stuck to your chair.
Lock ring for a cassette.
It did mean I could put my bike back together tho.
2 new car key batteries, only needed one but I like to live in the fast lane & be wholly prepared.
A pair of slippers that have a rubberised sole so I can go outside in them.
A plastic shelf replacement for the fridge door. It's only taken 3 years.
A cellar sump pump.
A pair of slippers that have a rubberised sole so I can go outside in them
Details please.
HDMI cable, 90cm length
I do hope you got a directional one
A set square, by definition it's dull
A plastic shelf replacement for the fridge door.
This is a strong contender
I had a dyedbro frame wrap arrive. Zero sign of the frame it's meant for though... 😕
DrP
replacement knob for the hob
I was actually quite pleased with it
replacement nob for the hob
That reminds me, I need to buy some more biscuits.
A 98% polyester sport coat. I'm not sure why I thought it would be a good idea, but it isn't. It's really shit.
expecting a 1m length of 6mm id foam cladding.
Packet of incontinence pads, wrongly delivered, will have to wander down to the old-folks home and drop them off.
6 smoked glass mugs. The ones teachers used to use.
Two 397 watch batteries 😊
Some new work uniform. Two pairs of cargo trousers, HV anorak and overtrousers.
1x Exhaust seal ring for a 2004 Vauxhall Astra.
4x Toothbrush heads
1x noise suppression capacitor for the tumble dryer.
I have a subscription for dog poo bags and some arrived today. And by coincidence some dog food. I'm covering both ends...
I’m covering both ends…
A both impressive and highly risky feat of gymnastics.
@nickc - be honest, you've bought some Crocs 🙂
Coffee filter papers. But they are unbleached and unglued so can go into the compost after use - which I think is quite exciting.
I should get out more
Some packaging samples. So envelopes in an envelope. In a moment of utter idiocy I gave my home address to various packaging suppliers during lockdown.
a 5.5mm socket
a 100g tub of puriclean.
Details please
Yes please - my 5Ten Sleuth "slip on MTB shoes" are finally dying and no longer seem to be made.
Indesit washing machine door switch
1 x Pack of 5 Reams Printer paper
A set of car trim removal tools.
480 Yorkshire teabags and 2 bottles of Sarsons
Two tiny screws that go in the bottom of an SLX shifter. Once fitted, totally forgotten.
A phone holder thingy for the car air vent...
And a credit card bill.
I have a subscription for dog poo bags
This guy knows how to live!
Who’s had the least exciting delivery this week then?
I've mostly been delivering regulatory awareness training this week focused on PRA, FCA and ICOBs.
Do I win a prize?
The excitement in this one was thinking it was actually going to arrive.
I got a butt cap this week!!
Sounds exciting? It really isn't...

New fluff filter for the tumble drier. Having said that, I was quite excited to see it...
2x external doors-seals for the external weather bar. 🥱
Got a new garden seat coming tomorrow, it was ordered when Summer briefly visited our shores 😔😔😔
A secondhand sea kayak (2 person).
Just need to find an Edinburgh flat with a community stairwell,with enough space to store it in.
I have one on the short list that a friend recommended, he stored his cargo bike there for a while. 😉 😜
10 meters of Bubble Wrap
Fasthaggis tsk tsk tsk.
Tee hee 😃
I thought it would sound better than the 'actual' 50 ziplock bags that arrived (A2) 😉
A pair of slippers that have a rubberised sole so I can go outside in them
Don't do it. Slippers should not be worn outside. It may seem harmless and convenient to wear them outdoors BUT there is a small but nonetheless finite chance that said slippers may trek through some cat poo which then comes back inside and on a merry tour of the house, resulting eventually in much wailing and gnashing of teeth not to mention the wholesale removal of one particularly redolent carpet.
Do not ask me how I know this.
Odour eaters for trainers.
Stool test results.
Actually, they are quite interesting. Maybe not exciting though.
