  • I would treat the holiday fund as your treat and put some in there and the rest to your debt :)
  • Pay it off your credit card. If you do need a treat use the credit card to pay for it

    I would chuck most of it at the debt but maybe spend £20 on a little treat for yourself - a nice takeaway and bottle of wine / trip out to the cinema / couple of CDs.

    Congratulations!

  • Whatever you do I would make sure some of the money goes towards debt. I'd feel too guilty if I didn't. :D
