    You haven't included your debt repayments so it looks like you have spare cash where you have less.

    So has paying the £308 cleared these? If so, you need to cut out whatever you can from this month, ie presents, entertainment, haircuts, petrol where you can. Then you should be back to being able to cope.

    If you are regularly spending more than you have, you need to keep a spending diary to see where the extra money goes.

    And, people are probably going to tell you to sell one of your cars.

    Best of luck...
