What is my best choice? Tax rebate money

I have found out today that I'm due a small tax rebate and am now wondering what the best option is!
It is only small, less than £200 but I have 3 options in my head!
1...request an F and F for my littlest CC which would equate to a 40% pay off
2... Put it towards getting my woodburner fitted. I have saved some for this already
3.... Keep it as a buffer

Just realised this got no replies when you posted.
If you have debts, as nice as a woodburner would be, it's a luxury too far at the moment I'd suggest. Put your savings for that into an emergency fund, add to that emergency fund until it hits £1,000. Stash it somewhere and DON'T SPEND IT! If you already have an emergency fund then put your tax rebate to your debts. The sooner they are gone, the sooner the luxuries can flow!🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡
