My spending was out of control until I made easy change everyone can do – it helped me pay off £9k debt on £9k salary
DEBT CHANGE My spending was out of control until I made easy change everyone can do – it helped me pay off £9k debt on £9k salary Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) OPENING her credit card statements Jo Beevers feels sick. She knew she had a problem with impulsive spending but she had never faced up to it, until now. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Jo Beevers, 46, got her spending under control with an easy trick anyone can do The 46-year-old, who lives near Chester, had always been in debt and was stuck in a constant cycle of doing 0% balance transfers. But going from a full-time job as an medical conditions and injury rehabilitation manager in a gym earning £30,000 to a working as a registrar 16 hours a week earning £9,000, Jo had no option but to stop hiding from it all and gain control. Jo said: 'I had £9,099.82 of credit card and overdraft debt and when I looked at where that money had been going, I felt ashamed. 'My spending was reckless because the money didn't feel real and I treated shopping like a hobby even though I was skint.' In 2018 Jo's "you only live once" outlook on money saw her buy a Volkswagen Up! for £9,000 while her husband, who works in IT, was away. And after a boozy lunch popped into Boots and spent £300 on perfumes she didn't need. Amazon parcels turned up every day and she even had a monthly delivery of two bottles of champagne from its Subscribe and Save service. Jo said: "It was ridiculous. If I had to hand over £80 in cash for two bottles of champagne every month I wouldn't have done it. 'But because it all went on the credit card, I didn't think about it. I knew I was bad but I could always justify my spending." Done with feeling guilty, stressed and worried about her mounting debt Jo stuffed her credit cards in a drawer and was ruthless in cancelling everything that was non-essential. I racked up £15k debt - here's how I paid it off as a single mum Then, she made one major change, at the beginning of every month she physically took out the remaining money after bills and groceries. Jo created a tracker and, in the beginning, divided the cash into different envelopes but it wasn't as easy as she thought and became overwhelmed. Jo said: 'I made loads of mistakes in the first three months by thinking the money could go further than it did. 'I created too many envelopes and the money couldn't stretch as far as I wanted it to.' Giving up temporarily, Jo worked through the overwhelm of emotions and prioritised where her money should be going and got herself back on track. She said: "Holding the money changed how I thought about it, it made it feel real. 'I had sections for debt, achievable savings goals and for non-essential spending. "Once I'd figured it out it was easy. It's so visual, it works for my mind.' Determined to pay off her debt and to keep on track, Jo created fun trackers to gamify her savings and to keep her motivated. She shared her journey on social media as @Cashbudgetbee and her trackers caught the eye of her followers. Stumbling on another way of topping up her part-time income, Jo began selling them on Etsy which has made £2,000 in the last 12 months. Jo said: 'I never thought it possible to find a way of making some extra money from my own debt clearing journey. 'But it made me feel normal to know that there were other people out there just like me.' Staying motivated was hard that's why she made the videos to share with her followers. When Jo hit a milestone, she popped into M&S and bought some champagne to treat herself, but a £22 one instead of a £40 bottle. But it can be a slippery slope, and the entrepreneurial mum, had to reign herself in. She said: 'It starts with one thing and then you're going back into old habits. And you go, 'Oh no I'm not debt free yet.'' Eighteen months on and Jo made her final payment on her credit card and if that wasn't enough, she also went into Christmas 2024 with money saved. She said: 'Being debt free is amazing, I'm the happiest I've ever been. Having money to spend at Christmas, rather than relying on credit cards was a great feeling.' But while she's riding high on clearing her debts, Jo doesn't feel like she can relax her new routine. She said: 'It really does worry me that I'll slip back as I've got 30 years-worth of spending habits to break. 'I've noticed some of my old shopping habits are sneaking back in. On Valentine's Day I didn't put anything in the budget as we hadn't planned anything. 'Then the day before I was online and putting all sorts in my basket, thankfully I was able to recognise what I was doing and stopped. All I can do is to keep trying.' Jo is giving herself new challenges to keep the momentum going and recently created an e-book sharing her own journey which she's already made £180 from.

Dunelm's plug-in wall lights 'look way more expensive' and 'add a premium feel'
Shoppers have praised how easy the lights are to install Dunelm customers have been singing the praises of a plug-in wall light that doesn't need an electrician to install. The retailer's range of lamps that simply need a plug socket nearby to get up and running are proving extremely popular, with buyers praising both the look and ease of getting them set up. One of the them with an extremely high rating is the Churchgate Harby Plug In Wall Light that's priced at £40. The stylish light is designed with a white ceramic glazed head, and finished in an antique gold metal and complete with a white twisted cable. For those concerned about having a cable on show, after all that's traditionally avoided, this particular one is designed in such a way that it's made to look stylish and natural, not like an ugly wire drooping down. It is worth noting that a bulb is not included, so that will add a bit extra on top. Dunelm has lots to choose from, including the Lois Globe LED Dimmable Bulb (£8), while fancier options include the Status Spiral Filament Bumpy Bulb (£22). Amazon also stocks the £55.89 KEESFU Plug in Wall Lights. These particular lights have an industrial design and come in a pair, so they cost a more affordable £28 each. The Amazon lights also have an adjustable height option which is a nice added feature. B&Q also has options like the Harbour Studio Vara Plug-in LED Wall light priced at £37. This features an antique brass finish that B&Q says "adds a touch of vintage charm to your space". The Dunelm Churchgate light has averaged 4.7 out of 5 from more than 150 reviews to date. One said: "Beautiful Lights, look way more expensive. Thoroughly recommend these." Another continued: "Looks lovely, good quality and easy to install. Would recommend." A third went on: "Amazing quality and really adds a premium feel to the bedside. Added these to a room refresh for a beachy look and feel and the quality is great. We've had lovely comments already and love the look." Despite the overwhelmingly positive feedback, there were a couple of drawbacks highlighted. One such issue mentioned: "Lovely lamps, look more expensive than they are. My one gripe is the switch is a horrible cheap looking plastic one so you have to sort of hide it behind the lamp." Another noted that the cable was "very kinked".

Handy teeth whitening gadget shoppers take on nights out that makes them 'so much whiter' Amazon slashes £150 off VAX pet carpet cleaning machine that 'leaves the carpet like new' Elsewhere, Amazon sells wireless earbuds that are compatible with Apple and Android devices. For instance, these JLab Go Air Sport+ Running Headphones (£29.99) feature a hook on each bud for a secure fit. They also have nine hours of playtime in each earbud and 26 extra hours from the charging case. Shoppers looking to go the whole hog can invest in Apple's AirPods Max headphones, which are on sale on EE for £465, normally £495.

Another person commented: "Bought this a couple of months ago. I'm so happy with the product, very good and amazing." A third buyer described them as 'good, comfy with seamless connectivity', but found issues with them syncing to an iPhone, commenting: "The only issue I've had so far is when I open the case, my flatmates iPad and iPhone have a pop up saying 'not your AirPods' no way of stopping it happening. So, on that one fault, I can't recommend." An additional buyer said: "It's been over two months since I bought this device, and it's been awesome." A fifth buyer wrote: "Upgraded from the Pro1s that I bought back in 2021, these are a massive upgrade." Another Argos shopper concludes: "I bought these a couple of months ago and they work amazingly. They have loads of features, such as noise cancellation. In addition, the battery life is outstanding.
