I'm currently still waiting on my passport as the courier has delivered it to the wrong address even though they were given the right address to deliver it to so I don't even know where it is. I've been told it's being investigated but it's left me so uneasy considering I go on holiday in 5 weeks.

Sorry to hear that, will you please tell me why it took 8 days for you to book interview? Is it's hard to get an appointment a bit early?

I actually booked my appointment the day I got the letter. Unforunately the earliest appointment I could get at the Durham passport office (which is the closest to where I live) was 8 days later. It's pretty simple to book it, you just call the number provided in the letter and they'll run through the available timeslots for you so you can choose the best option for you.

Haven't heard anything back yet and fees not deducted. Should I be worried?

Did you receive a text message from passport office confirming the receipt of application, if no how did you find the date on which HMPO received the application.
