All down to US QE for $600 Billion, the rise over past few days was building the announcement into the exchange rate. just about at $1.62 now, best its been for a while.
I still half expect someone to make a speech and knock the £ again. We might have a good few months against the $ around this rate but I believe we could have more QE in the UK, possibly in the New year, the £ will take a hit then.
Still haven't paid cruise off, still wish I had a crystal ball

For some odd reason the £ always seems to hit an upward swing while and after I have been in the US. A few years ago I started buying currency constantly throughout the year, with or without a trip planned, whenever the rate looks good to me.

I don't want any speeches to damage this either. Besides, how nice for those going at Christmas and also for anyone who lost out with the CCE. I hope it holds its own for a while yet.

They are talking that the bank will have to do this in February once they see the effects of the government cuts.

It went up so much today because I transferred some $$ into my US account...yesterday

Honestly though, I'm happy - I got a good rate yesterday and as I didn't really know how things were going to react to the QE I preferred to grab some for peace of mind and have my DVC Annual Dues covered in January.

Not like I can't (and likely will) buy some more if it stays stable for a little while

Just got an email from FairFX to say the rate is at 1.60.

Go on, transfer some more

I do this on a regular basis. As previously posted, makes no difference if I have a trip booked or need any more - just get currency when the rate is good.
