Could be worse. At one dealership I worked at, the parts manager could sometimes be a bit of a wise guy. Chap comes in for an indicator lens for a 250 Superdream (this was '98 I think, so not millions of Superdreams about by then).
"£5" says parts manager, "and it's our last one."
"£5?!" exclaims the customer, as if just asked for his right testicle. He then went on to grumble and moan for about two minutes.
So parts manager takes said lens, drops it on the floor and stamps it into tiny pieces, then takes a fiver out of his wallet and sticks it in the till Laughing

A double chamber foot pump from Halfords after my old single chamber pump finally fell apart. Very impressed.
Not so impressed to discover both tyres down by 10-15psi.
Must check more oftenerer.

It's here Dance! Must have been coming from Hinkley and not Thailand or wherever they're made. So with my new headlight harness I should be able to hook my headlights up to the loom. After much head scratching and looking at parts fiche's until my eyes bled, I realised someone had adapted the main loom to take facelift headlights... you know the ugly ones Eh? On the plus side it was only £15, breakers on eBay want a lot more for some reason...

Bike trousers.

Estimated delivery was yesterday, really wanted them for this morning.

I seem to be getting really impatient lately, I want things to arrive within minutes of ordering them...

In the last 3-4 days I have spent a total of £10 and received 4 donuts for said moneys.

It could be said that they were very flavoursome donuts, but at the end of the day they were still just fried balls of stodge with some nommy filling and rolled in sugar.

For £2.50. Shocked
Each. Shocked Shocked

I didn't know they were that price until I bought the second lot.

I'd originally bought a loaf of sourdough bread with the first pair (one jammie, one vanilla custard), which came to £9.
You can rest assured I wasn't best pleased at the price, but this is London after all, and the bread was very fresh and yummy and the donuts had A LOT more filling than the ones in Tesco, so I assumed they were £2 each and the bread was a fiver, and went about my business, mildly grumpy about hipster food and its prices (in Bermondsey St, a quite trendy area these days)

I went back down there this morning on walkies with Orville, thinking Well, I might just try the butterscotch one (wasn't at all interested in the chocolate one or the lemon curd one, strangely enough, as I'm usually on those sort of things like a robber's dog) ... but once I was confronted with the vanilla ones, I was like "Well okay then ... I'll have one of them as well " - and I was just digging about in my purse for the requisite four quid, but this time she went "That will be five pounds" Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked - but of course you can't back down once the goodies are in a bag in your hand leaking butterscotch temptaciously from its donutty little bellybutton (plus, loss of face, etc Laughing ) so I just swallowed on the price, and made them last a LONG FUCKING TIME with my cups of tea.

I ordered a bunch of stuff on Thursday, 2nd class delivery and am Outraged, North Wales because one item hasn't arrived yet. Mad

I always preferred the jam in the Sainsbury's ones if we're talking supermarket versions.

After hitting the ginger and lemon cake served at my favourite Lake District cafe recently, I have decided it's time to buy a couple of cake tins and make Delia Smith's lemon layer cake recipe again Drooling
I do still have the recipe for my mum's chocolate cake too, but with just me to eat it, that would be suicide Laughing

Any supermarket custard doughnuts will do me, as long as they're fresh.

I bought a Chinese takeaway, and much to my annoyance, it tastes horrid. My local Chinkies is usually at least "okay" but today this is not great. Maybe after 55 years I am finally going off Chinese ... :O

Its probably not good, the amount of crystallised ginger I'm eating to get rid of the garlicky taste, either, is it ... Rolling Eyes

Another Sony Smartwatch 3.

I only want a replacement strap but Sony don't sell them any more and they go for silly money on eBay so might as well have a whole new watch.

Looked at new model watches but they have an abysmal battery life
