    Hello,

    With mortgages as long as you don't change any details like the term you can get a new fixed rate deal with your lender. It's not always the best deal but it's good if you don't want to be reassessed but still want a fixed rate. I'm assuming and I might be wrong that you put more deposit in than your partner so I don't think it's as bad as you think in terms of telling him. If you see what I mean - you're both comfortable that you're bringing different things to the table.
    As you need the money I would talk to your daughter about a fixed repayment. For you it means one less creditor to get a minimum payment to. And it might open her eyes when you say how many years do you want to pay me back. £50 a month will take nearly 10 years. I'm not judging as I'm also a naughty daughter borrowing from mummy too :-s
    Great news on all the balance transfers. I really think you should pay off the next one first. I know it's better mentally to clear Barclays but right now it's not too bad a figure, with that kind of interest it's never going to go away! Get it gone and closed :) then hammer Barclays. It'll feel better that one creditor is gone and clear and you'll do it in half the time!
    Good luck :)
