i took the risk and took out a variable mortgage, not a fixed one, but the bastards still put the APR up last time the Bank of England dropped interest rates, pretty pissed off
hopefully it will drop now lol, only a few quid a month anyways, but anything is better then a quick in the face!

Yup, I have loads... at the same price in Jan they were worth £700 more than they are today 
That said, they are all in trust fior a good few years yet and 2/3rds of them were free so cant complain too much

I was worried that it wouldn't reflect the drop because I'm on Barclays rate not BoE but yeah, it went down.
