    Debt is bad. This month I have

    £75 phone bill (2 iPhone 3G contracts)
    £200 on Aqua Card carried over from last month
    £150 on Vanquis (all cash withdrawals) from last month
    £90 on CapitalOne (first month and I like this card, so will pay off in full)
    £66 on Littlewoods (Interest free, so will pay minimum each month, only want green 0's)
    £60 that I owe my mother each month for a laptop out of her littlewoods account (£400 remaining)

    I'm only going to get paid between £400-£500 this month, so need to make that stretch to pay these bills, plus leave money to live off for the month.... might pay £150 off between the cards, £75 phone, £5 littlewoods, so I should have £200ish for the month... oh and £60 to my mother, therefore £140 for the month.
