Oh, the shame

Hi there. I realise it's been a while. I've been staying away. Actually, I've been hiding from you. Why? Because of the shame.

I'm ashamed because I've been spending money, you see - the money that should be smashing my debt. I've been spending it on fast women and loose cars. No, that's not right. I've been spending it on CLOTHES.

Last month I spent $615 on clothes. Money that could have been going towards my debt. Money that was mostly whittered away on eBay on items that I received in the post and which consequently don't fit. And then of course, Whistles is having a sale.

I justified this by saying that I had sold some items on eBay, and I did. $200 of the eBay sales money went on the debt. The rest went on other clothes on eBay. (eBay is a cycle of doom, I tell you! You're bound to lose.)

Also, our flatmate, Trixie, moved out of our house, and now that we have the place to ourselves, the rent has gone up. This hasn't helped with the whole smashing of the debt, although it has helped slightly with our sanity.

So... this month. No online shopping. (I've already broken this rule with these gorgeous Urban Outfitters shorts, which I bought yesterday, but hey - it's always a good time to turn over a new leaf.

So I should really say no more online shopping. I've also culled my wardrobe AGAIN in an effort to create the perfect capsule wardrobe (in which I'm sure these shorts will play a vital role) and am selling on eBay again. If it all sells it'll be another $500 I can throw at the debt. It's getting manageable now, although I'm not exactly sure where it's at. After all, I'm too ashamed to look...
