Make as many payments in as you like, providing they meet the minimum and maximum monthly amount requirements.

As YorkshireBoy points out (thx for the linkage), they're fairly flexible. We're opting to set up a standng order, but simply for convenience sake.

Well it's a fixed rate, so mine won't be going down any time soon

Or so I thought!

Checking your T&C's now will avoid disappointment next November.

Hence the reason i added the word "ish" to December 1st.

Will do so, but if you knew for sure it's a variable, it would have helped to say

D'oh! D'oh! D'oh!

Checked the T&Cs and instructed and you are, of course, right! Ah well, it's got further to fall than some of the others. To be frank, I'm only really using it as a cash holding vehicle. It keeps my grubby mitts off it for a bit longer

I did...in my own subtle way.

Anyway, at least you've read your T&C's now.
