todays exchange rate

[katiec]

Wow - sorry that my post caused such a rumpus!!

Not intended to upset anyone.

I work very hard for my $$$ so a few extra are always welcome - I can't see why anyone would be upset over that.

As someone else said if the situation was reversed I'm sure our American cousins would be just as happy with extra £££ for their holidays as we are.

The was more to say I'm pleased with a few extra $$ not that your economy might be in serious trouble.

Sorry if you misinterpreted me.

We love the going to North America - apart from 2 florida holidays in 2 years we have skied there for the last 6 years & are doing so again this January - the USA gets around 80% of ALL my holiday spends so I hink I am entitled to be happy about a few extra $$$ - after all - it's YOUR economy I'm supporting with it!

I am annoyed now....

Like a right idiot when the rate got to 1.68 I thought i'd hold off and when it reached 1.7 we'd get all our $$$$$.

Well the blooming rate only dropped from that day forward so I took the plunge last Thursday for fear of it falling below 1.55 and got most of it.

Looks like a was too hasty.... a common problem with me and it also looks like there will be some dreadful economic news coming out of the USA about their deficit so the rate should go even higher (hopefully ).

GGGGRRRRRRRRR

So based on the last paragraph, are we expecting the rate to improve for us Brits. We go in a little over three weeks and am hanging on hoping for a better rate.

 

[HeresYourEars]

I do sympathise with your current situation and it was a bit harsh what katie said but I dont think she meant it in a nasty way. We all love america well I know I do and it is horrid when we cant control what goes on.Believe me we may as well have had chip and dale running here 18 months ago.My 8 year old would have done a better job I think we all want more for our money and having a few extra cents makes the money go further but others misfortunes should not be broadcasted and certain thoughts should be kept to oneself. Hope you have a fab time in the UK.

Crabbie, thank you so much.

katiec, your apology is accepted.

[2Tiggies]

I suppose no change is better than a dropping rate. I see FairFX rate is down 0.005 since the weekend. Here's hoping for good news tomorrow
