Kicking myself ( abbey )

Abbey offered me 1.09 above the base rate ( tracker ) on monday ( before the base rate fell ).

I said id think about it, now ive rung them and they have put it up from 1.09% to 1.59%!

I cant beleieve i didnt take the deal they gave me monday, i am so angry with myself.

Not sure what to do now, wait it out for another month ( my deal ends in november, so in december i hit the variable ).

Anyone reckon they will reduce the rate? or shall i just take the 1.59% above base rate and hope for another interest rate drop?

    I wouldn't try calling the markets one way or the other to be honest.

    Don't kick yourself. You weren't to know what was going to happen.

    The world has gone mad!
