@ Sammy_Boy

There was a free DVD with Saturdays The Times entitled "Paul McKenna's - Overcome Emotional Spending"

I think you can get them off the website...

May help, if thats what you really have?!

I would give a little bit of money to charity. Helping a poor person makes problems like this seem smaller.

I think I do need a lot more self-control, I might look into that Paul McKenna CD, see if I can download it off their website or something.

I think if I can sort myself out then the problem would diminish, I'm hoping that N95 will be my last big splurge for a while (unless my V3x to T650i project bears fruit!)

I used to buy alot of stuff when I lived at my mothers the last thing I bought was that £330 N95 which I then relised I needed a washing maching more for my future flat so then sold it. I lost £50 off it doing that which was a bummer.

but thing is when you leave your mothers games over ive relised that now I can't no longer buy nothing as I need to save my cash for a flat and items to go into it, I live with my friend as I no longer ish to have contact with my mother as she chucked me out without anywhere/any money etc

I just need to find a decent paid job and get thru this it's very hard though!

myphonebill has just gave me a right shock for this month I now have to find £60 before the end of the month aswell as pay mycredit card bill of £470 my catalogue of £40 then my eBay fee £7.00

I wish something would come around for me Really lifes a bitch atm!

Know how you feel - we've got a house and a mortgage to pay, and I'm still spending like I'm living with my mum which I know I shouldn't. I should stop worrying about my job - I'm lucky that I have a decent job with decent prospects, though worries about if I'm in the right career is one big issue at the moment. I think part of my spending problem comes from my worries and anxieties there, to try to escape from it all. If I did change careers, I'd have to find something which pays the same from the start - I can't afford any drops in wages.

Debt can be quite stressful too - I'm paying off a £5,500 loan, currently got over £1,600 on my card and already close to my overdraft limit despite it being the beginning of the month! Though got a couple of sales on Ebay and waiting for a couple of payments so that immediate problem should ease soon.

Sorry to hear about all that with your mum, I imagine that must be pretty stressful

do you think maybe it's just a hobby that you buy these phones sammy,
I mean coming here everyone ranting on thats this is good buy it does not help when I first joined here I came with a S55 and then I went and bought that T68i lol

people on here do not help on at you buy this etc
luckily have nothing to offer me atm but seeing that G600 is making me think ooh give me some of that

Im happy with my current phone anyways im hoping it lasts me a while it does everything I need it to

finding a job today is hard theres not much on offer ecept part time or Agency work, I feel I must turn other places aswell as retail which i would like to do but there fussy who they employ, they'd rather have someone with experience then train somebody!

I do not want to personally wanna keep with Warehousing done it too long last year really upset me being layed of my job after 17 months with them I thought i'd be there for ages, then this happens with my mother!

I gotta keep positive,
my mates on my back constantley it's a wonder how ive coped really!

Hey guys it looks that most of you are suffering from impulse buying which result of loss. Just define profit/loss tn yourselves and learn to spend reasonably

there was something on the news yesterday about how the much debt this country is in with Borrowing credit.

it's kinda outrageous to think that all of us are impulsive buyers ain't it!

im not in debt myself my credit card is only £470 atm nothing I can't handle really! does anyone watch that program "Spendaholics"????
