Thanks Nick! I think this is the best option for me at the moment.

lisyloo, I do appreciate that now. Yes, I probably was very naive and very stupid.

I did not expect rates to stay fixed, but in my adult [credit happy life] I had only ever experienced low[ish] rates, and the ability to apply and receieve credit quite easily. That is the experience I had gained from the financial world with little else to hellp me think that it would be any different. I hadnt experienced any "worst case" scenarios. I hadnt seen a depression, or "harder times". I am only 30 years old and so my entrie adult life had never seen or experienced anything like this.

I had not worked, or been involved in any part of the industry to enable me to know otherwise and so, admittedly, I was probably stupid in just "running along with it" and assuming that these now apparent "good times" were in fact not the "norm".

I certainly have learnt, and it has been the hard way!!!
