What shall I do with my money?

Hello MoneySavers,
It's ages since I posted but I could do with a little investment advice.
I recently sold my property in England and have a nice chunk of money.
I am currently taking a "year out" if you like and am living nice and cheaply in Spain.
Now, at the moment I these are my plans. I want to pay off my overdraft of £1600 and pay my outstanding credit card bills off (2 cards totalling about £400) then I am debt free!
However, what shall I do the rest of my money? I have been here 4 months and only spent £150/month in living costs which I am rather chuffed with.
I have the bulk of it in e-savings at the moment with Nationwide but is there a better way for me to invest it? I am rather confused about this.
On an added note, I am 29 with no property and no pension, so I really want to start saving best for my future.
Are these good plans for my money and can anyone advise me on investments?
Many thanks
