So Confused About Mortgage

I have an outstanding mortgage of roughly £64,000, a secure loan of £20,000 and around £5,000 of debt on credit etc. My mortgage rate ends the beginning of March and now that my wage has been increased to over £20,000 (single income), I am wondering when I should be looking to get a new mortgage deal... what's the best time to look? I am currently with the Alliance and Leicester (mortgage through broker) which I have had no problems with my mortgage however, they are dreadful as a bank! I'd rather stay away from them completely. I have been on an "agreement" with all outstanding credit cards for about a year now and am really struggling. I am under the illusion also that due to being on a temporary contract, I won't get a mortgage and I don't think I will be able to combine all my debt... I could cry!!

It was through Endsleigh Finance I got the original deal from so will probably go back to them but didn't know when I should as what kind of time limit do you have to give yourself?0
