EXCHANGE RATES !!!
EXCHANGE RATES !!!
Keep your fingers crossed, on this mornings financial news talk was of the Euro falling from 88p to as low a 75p.
Feeling almost lightheaded at the thought.

Re: EXCHANGE RATES !!!
I am feeling depressed as it is after last nights result - this is just taking me down even further. What with being made redundant last month i don't think i can take much more doom and gloom. Roll on 4th September and i am back in my favourite holiday haunt!!

Re: EXCHANGE RATES !!!
Problem is that the best quote I can find online for free next day delivery is 1.1103 a bit different to the 1.148 being quoted on my home page....... 
Re: EXCHANGE RATES !!!
1-1103 is the best tourist rate today LJ - you never get the business rate and anyway that has dropped a bit now so I would take that if you are flying soon
Re: EXCHANGE RATES !!!
The Fairfx card top up rate was 1.14 a few minutes ago. Card still available free through the Matalan site.

Re: EXCHANGE RATES !!!
I have been using the Fairfx cards (Euro and USD) for quite a while now and find that they consistently offer the best exchange rates around, the rate is slightly less if ordering cash and is free delivery for orders over GBP 500.00destroyer wrote:The Fairfx card top up rate was 1.14 a few minutes ago.

Re: EXCHANGE RATES !!!
Agreed Sam - the other bonus of the FairFX is that since it is prepaid if it is nicked (or borrowed by the missus!) then you can only lose what you had on it - sneaky, but really handy for car hire deposits since they cannot then just take whatever they feel if they think there has been some damage 
Re: EXCHANGE RATES !!!
M and S were offering an exchange rate of 1.10 this morning, the best it has been for a long
time. We tend to use our Saga card and get a very good rate with that.
