If you're not sure if you need it why not pay £80 of one of the debts and leave £40 for emergencies. You can always pay it off next week if you dont need it. At least that way the whole amount isnt burning a hole (and believe me I know all about that, great big holes in all my pockets).

You're doing great' don't be too hard on yourself!!!:j It doesn't have to be all or nothing with the spare cash - pay 1/2 now, hide the rest away in case of emergencies then use what's left next week.
