£30k debt, about to get £5k cash what do I do?

Hello all,

I'm hoping for some advice in regards to my debt.

I have about £30k in consolidated debt, which I am paying off at about £650 a month

I am about to get about £5k in cash do I:

Put the 5k paying off that debt

Put it into savings an accrue interest

Invest it into something safe

Something else

The debt was from bad habits which I have now stopped and I just really want to get rid of it.

My bills including the debt is about £2600

And I am making about £3400 a month.

Any helpful advice is much appreciated

Edit: There is 0 interest on the debt as I have consolidated it all into a personal load and am just paying £650 a month towards it

Edit 2: I'm about to break the news to my wife, wish me luck...
