Would someone please explain Synchronicity to Mrs V

[simon the viking]

(and I don't mean 'The Police' album)

I believe things happen for a reason i.e stronger than a coincidence... e.g... in recent weeks.....

I won £6 on Euro-millions just as Campo Viejo (orange label) my favourite wine is on offer from £10 to £6 in Tesco's...

I kept looking at Rayban Wayfarers as my current sunglasses are about K*******d and couldn't bring myself to push buy at £90.00 and I open My Wife's Avon book and a pair of Storm Wayfarers are on offer at £10.00

so as I said synchronicity and today.......

A 0% 24 month balance transfer offer comes through (we have virtually nowt on Credit cards) with a 1% fee...... just as Planet X launch a special edition Sram equipped pro carbon at £799.00

I'm just going to buy Mrs V the works of Carl Jung on Kindle and see if THAT convinces her it's meant to be....

 

[simon the viking]

Just a couple of additional points...... I ordered the Storm sunglasses obviously (after checking they were a bargain... They are internet prices are between £15 and £30) and...... Mrs V got the same offer (we have identical but separate credit cards) so she can also buy a carbon bike.....

Every time I get a bit of cash, something expensive breaks. Washing machine, car etc. That's the same thing init?

Unfortunately yes.... that is the downside of Synchronicity

So you're going to buy the bike and immediately transfer the balance to 0%?

Nope...... But I would if she'd let me without going on about boring things kitchen refurbishment and bathroom suites....

I wanted a new bike and ended up with a new kitchen instead .............................

I think a bathroom suite is first on the cards.....

Could you let me know which credit card Simon? Thanks.

Barclaycard... most will offer though if you ask but usually a 3% transfer fee this was a 1% fee so on an £800 bike it would of cost £808.00 or just £33.00 per month over the 24 months not that I've done the maths at all......... But I would just get what's wrong with your 18 month old Defy2..... and I don't think 'but this is carbon' would cut the mustard as a reason.....

I paid for the kitchen and the wife bought me a bike, seemed a bit one sided but I accepted it in good grace.

Its the argument i have had to use against myself buying a new bike tbh, after my wheel upgrade i would need to be looking at £1500 + to make a discernible upgrade and do i really ride competitively enough that half a bag of sugar weight loss off the bike will make any difference to the enjoyment of the ride .

Synchronicity is my watch word.

I was going to launch into a tirade against this nonsensical thinking, but as it has the result of supporting the N+1 paradigm I'll leave you to it
