Dont owe alot but now worried!!!

Hello all.
Im new to the site and I need to sort myself out. See the problem is that I owe companies money and I tend to ignore them hoping they will go away but I have had 2 red letters through this week which my partner doesnt know about and he would go mental!
I owe money for household bills ie Sky tv, BT bill, Council tax etc etc.
Im in arrears with rent but that is sorted already, i owe CER baliff company £300 for council tax last year, I am in such a mess i hate it.
Sky tv - £30
BT Bill - £120
Council Tax - £ 120 a month
Rent - £850 in arrears
CER - £300
Mobile bill - £89

I know its not alot but i have started to stress out now!

Partners Wages - £1200 per month
My Wages - £400
Benefits - £320

Now I know that by looking at the money coming in I could clear the amount owed within 2 months but for one the OH doesnt know and I have a real problem with spending money on clothes rather than spend it on bills!!

I know its not a big amount but I hope I can get some advice.
