Thanks @robcolliver, inspiring / terrifying in equal amounts!

Two £35 kindles for the kids for Xmas, a new Pebble time for me for my birthday, and a schwalbe Durano plus for the commuter. I had to go and pick up my repaired wheel myself. Deuter backpack came yesterday.
Got a gilet and some wheels still in transit.
I'm loving commuting by bike again, I feel like the bit in fight club where he walks out of the office with his computer in a trolley. The wife is letting me buy all kinds of stuff.
A dozen bottles of SA wine for Christmas sloshing from Wines of Interest in that Ipswich.
Yesterday a Fox tshirt and some XT 8000 brakes
Today a Hope Evo rear hub from ebay
Went a bit mad in the weekend sales. Postie brought me a set of Zipp 404 wheels today to add to the power meter that came yesterday 😳
A pair of XT brakes and TWENTY spare olives, I ordered 2, CRC sent me 2 bags of 10.
Not today but last week still chuffed tho

http://www.huntbikewheels.com/products/hunt-4season-aero-road-wheelset-1589g-28deep-22wide
Oooh nice wheels. Not so sure about those pink ones up there though, Enduro colours I assume 🙂
Well mrblobby, you Sir have spent waaaayyyyy more than me !!
Haaaappppy Xmas !
A nice box with a pair of Sid RCT3's inside 🙂
Those zip wheels look nice!
A couple boxes from Planet-X/On One, with wheels, tyres and tubes for my new Fat friend:lol:
Leg warmer that actually seem long enough.
Brake pads.
Winter bib shorts.
Some very bright socks from Happy Socks.
Pink gloves as I had a Decathlon voucher to use.
So much for no spending before Christmas.
Well mrblobby, you Sir have spent waaaayyyyy more than me !!
Stupid sales! There was also a pair a SID World Cup's a week ago 😳
My fortnightly payslip. It's nice to look at it but I hear the voice of Jim Bowen saying "lets see what you could of won", temporarily thinking, "go buy a bike, sod the bills, who needs food anyway?"
Easton EC70 seatpost won on Sunday off eBay, upgrade for my winter road bike. Still no sign of the Ultegra shifters bought from the classifieds section on here last week though
5 Hoya filters. Mucky Nutz fat fender set of 3.
I got a letter telling me the wording on my equity loan was non-compliant and they had to refund me 7 years worth of interest! #newbikeforxmas
Edit: and a JIS screwdriver.
Mr postie has delivered my Garmin 810 performance and maps kit from CR today along with a 29er rear mudguard for the Stooge as the 26 er one was not doing much. I tried extending it and it shattered, so hopefully the new one will mean I can see my saddle during a ride rather than sitting in an inch of mud.
Pair of the newest XTR Trail pedals, I'm more impressed with the box it's bloody lovely!
A maxxis shorty.
Very knobbly.... almost poked my eye out! Lol 😀
XT 11-speed mech and shifter and a new chain, for the trailfox. And a shitload of wheelbearings from kaesae
****all as the ****s could not be arsed to deliver either of the CRC orders or the wiggle one despite the emails at 6am saying the parcels were ready for delivery.
latest Beer52 case has landed!
Got a 105 rear mech and shifters yesterday and should be getting the front mech and some new bars through by the end of the week.
Specialized Comp Road shoes, to replace my 7 or 8 years old pair- picked them up the other day to find the ridged strap that feeds into the ratchet bit had disappeared. Haven't found it yet, can't figure out what's happened to it!
(Postie hasn't technically brought them yet, I've got to go and collect them)

Have you opened up the shoplifter to see if the indicator is removable?
The thought of that indicator on my new bike is bugging me, and I don't even have the frame yet, much less the shifter.

I had the same thought so I just bought an XTR shifter, not massively more expensive and its not like you replace shifters that often.
Phonecall to say shops received new frame - cue a desperation to leave work!

Ooo, what you got? Something nice and racey?
honourablegeorge - MemberHave you opened up the shoplifter to see if the indicator is removable?
I left the shoplifter unmolested but yep, the indicator comes off with one screw. But there's no cover supplied for the wee hole, which is a bummer- my old SLXs came with a cover! So I just taped over it.
It feels pretty good btw, a wee bit squishier than Saint but very positive and thunky. Slightly heavy action though, like slightly tired cables.
Just received a replacement Ortlieb handlbar bag bracket after my old one had a captive nut shear.
Many many thanks go to Lyon Outdoor (the UK dist for Ortlieb) for responding to my question about spare parts promptly and then sending out a replacement unit for free when it was realised the broken part was captive, despite it being over 5 years old.
New stem and ESI grips for hardtail. Which brings me onto my next topic!
Today's been a good delivery day
