Anyone any idea

I'm not sure what the additional borrowing account is or why the timing matters. But putting that aside, I'm assuming you want to calculate the interest on £145k at 6% and 4% over two weeks. I just ran it through a compound interest calculator, and it reckons £334 at 6% and £223 at 4%. So you will be paying an extra £111 by going onto the 6% SVR for two weeks. As the alternative will cost you £290, it seems the temporary SVR is the better option.
