preferring of creditors before DRO

In the run-up to DRO, but before applying, which of these wd be regarded as 'dishonest' preferring of creditors?
- paying-in to reduce bank overdraft
- paying overdue biz invoices
- continuing repayment instalments to a private creditor (friend), while my credit cards know I've stopped paying them more than a token
- paying income tax/NI

Any tips?!

    - paying-in to reduce bank overdraft maybe
    - paying overdue biz invoices maybe
    - continuing repayment instalments to a private creditor (friend), while my credit cards know I've stopped paying them more than a token probably
    - paying income tax/NI no

    Any tips?!

    The guidance says that the preffered creditor would have had to have their position improved SUBSTANTIALLY.
