    Well done Susie - definitely delete ebay and Amazon and any other sites you buy form.


    One tip was to freeze your Barclaycard in a huge lump of ice - so only for REAL emergencies.


    As you enjoy the thrill of shopping why not give yourself an occasional treat - take a bag of items to a charity shop and then allow yourself maybe £5 to but something, hopefully a £1 or two will do - that way you'll be getting something new without breaking the bank.
