Nuffin!
A new buckle and heel for my road shoes. Exciting it is not.
More pleasingly, it appears I won a competition on a well known road based website recently so soon I will get a delivery of, what looks like, really nice road kit too.
Nikwax Tech wash so I can finally clean/reproof my sweet protection mud rides 😉
A compression ring free of charge from Works Components, as I lost my old one. Cheers Works Components!
Nothing and haven't for a while which is unusual!
Interested to hear if the socks are any good as I suffer cold feet pretty badly.
I'm waiting on a new rear maxle. I can barely contain my excitement.

I picked up my new road wheels (nothing too flash, just open pros on ultegras with vittoria pave tyres) last night. I've got a box from CRC waiting for me at the post office that should have some boring road stuff (cassette, bar tape etc).
Getting back to proper bikes I should be getting a lefty in the post by the end of the week (hopefully)!
Very.
Very.
Excited.

Confirmation that we are now mortgage free.
Winner 😀
prezet - very nice, I'm trying very hard to get a demo on one.
Notice that a customer is being sued by the Belgian something or other to do with protection of media rights. I was underwhelmed as we get very angry looking 100 page documents in Cyrilic for the same customer every couple of weeks. Belgians aren't known for killing people they don't like.

Confirmation that we are now mortgage free.
And we have a winner.
In your position, i'd be renting out the house and taking off on a RTW bike trip.
Yesterday. - a box full of CRC goodies, with a pair of spiky pedals loose in the box and not enough packing.... Middle oab has a pre-chipped bike, but I have CRC tokens... 8)
2 titanium M8 bolts for the EBB on the Stooge to replace the nasty rotten steel ones. Er, that's it today, but will be more exciting bits Thursday with any luck !!

In the book of plans, but I don't think the kids would be too keen on sharing the house.
A shiny Garmin replacement unit, from Garmin UK, sent a bashed and smashed one paid a fee and they sent me a refurbed one, nice, almost a crash replacement policy.

I'm hoping to find the new Cranked when I get home.
In a pile of f***n bills and credit card offers.
It's been a while since the postie bought me anything of interest, weirdly since my wife stopped working my disposable income has taken a nose dive, having said that there isn't much I crave at the moment (for pretty much the first time ever).
New work stand to replace my old lidl one, this one folds down a bit smaller to fit in the van, need to build a storage box for it over a wheel arch I think. Yesterday was the final adapter needed for my van gas system, tomorrow should bring me some of those Scott winter riding gloves that were cheap on Start, benefits of being of the fairer sex, I fit mens xs gloves (I hope) and get bargains. 🙂

Gearbest have been trying my patience.
4 weeks of "It's not here", "It's in the post",
"It's still not here", etc,
"the tracking number you gave me isn't active",
"technical error, post's fault",
"are you sure, it says they've been advised but not collected yet",
"yes, posts fault"
Magically the tracking number became active a few hours after that, clearly been sat on someones desk for 4 weeks.

DaveRambo, where from mate?
from Apple.com/uk - the website
I got the cheap one
It's as you'd expect.
Well made, works and thankfully having apps means there are bugger all things to choose from.
New remote is better.
edit
Main difference is it's twice a thick.
A bargain set of the new M8000 XT brakes from Spain, cost me under £100, win.

Was 10 days delivery, estimated 2nd Nov, so I'm not getting uptight about it.
I'm currently deciding when I might start getting uptight about it. Next week, probably.
Nothing. Again.
Because Canyon have so messed themselves up that they can't even send out the spare parts that were ordered 6 weeks ago. Still, it is making me run more.
