..to promise myself a new bike if i get this job i'm interviewing for on weds?

So many things i 'should' do with the money i have…

yes.

No

I know, but i can't help lusting!

a good result deserves a reward. and a bike isn't a luxury, it's a neccessity, another bike more so.

It's so pretty….

no, buy it.
What bike is it?

I don't know, but the very best of luck for the interview! What's the job?

Oh, and those things you 'should' spend money on? Unless they are food, light or heat related, then they aren't essentials and thus fall lower in the pecking order than bikes 😉

I make promises like that to myself just for getting up in the morning.

I've just spent 4.5K on a boiler/windows/doors/exterior paint job, so the house is reasonably fine although really needs decorating/new carpets.

Bike is a Cube Fritzz 🙂

Job is 'Trainee CNC Operator' which is what i was doing at my old works, although on different machines & different operating systems the principles are the same – got to get the job first & i'm 6 month unemployed!

It is all down to maths and the formula N+1, N = the number of bikes you have now, +1 is the new one you need. The formula has been proven numerous times, don't fight the urge, it is all down to very complicated maths stuff
