    There's no way I can 'keep' to money in a savings account. I WILL spend it....Nope have no other savings
    Normally I would say always pay off the expensive debt, but from what you have posted it sounds like you lack self control. I suspect you are like some friends of mine - if you get your debts down to what feels like a more manageable level you will just start spending again.

    If that is the case then leave the shares where they are rather than fritter them away. They will always be there for a genuine emergency and it sounds like you lack any other funds for the purpose.
