ive had a quick check on comparison websites and nothing is leaping out to me on the rates, ive usually fixed for 5 or 10 years while doing the house up. And the next few years could be expensive, one daughter just about to leave school and then shortly followed by another two in 2 to 4 years.
sort of stuck on what to do for the best
