I am going at the end of May do you think I should buy now or do you think it is likely to go up in next couple of weeks? Does anyone know the best buying rate at the minute?????
my opinion is, yes it SHOULD be higher by the then.
however, the market is not playing by the usual rules these days..
depends if you want to have fun, and go through the highs and lows of watching the rate rise and fall, whilst enjoying all the fun banter on here in the meantime...Please take the time to have a look around my Daughter's website www.daisypalmertrust.co.uk

I wanted to ask that as well Neil, I signed up for a company a long time ago and not a peep from them!
Fluffy fifi - we are off at the same time, whats the latest you are leaving it??
we can top up our Fairfx card up to the last min but where are you thinking of for currency??
thanks
Hi HAZIEC, I'm leaving it until the last minute. We are flying next Thursday (a week today !!!) very excited. I will probably get £100 worth of dollars from the Post Office on Wednesday and then withdraw cash from ATM's through my FlexAccount. I wish I could have changed some up last year when it was over $2 to the £ but I couldn't afford it.0 -

I am hating this, we fly next Friday and is we have Nationwide Cards, I am just going to withdraw cash when out there - the VISA rate tends to be 2 - 3 cents more than the tourist rate (1.40 to 1.375 with travelex), but I can't "take" that $1.40 rate, if something happens in the next 2 weeks......0 -

14:38 19Mar09 GBP/USD: Buoyed by Talk of Large London Fix-Related Demand
[14:40 GBP/USD: Buoyed by Large London Fix-Related Demand Mutter] London, March
19. Cable has reclaimed a 1.45 handle amid talk of possible large 16:00GMT London
fix-related demand. 1.4476 was the pullback low from the 22-day peak of 1.4556
scaled circa 13:30GMT. Touted bull targets above include 1.4600 and 1.4700
(1.4608 was the traded high on Feb 25).
The "Quantitative Easing" measures unveiled by the Federal Reserve yesterday
are underpinning GBP/USD, re: fears over their long-term impact on the greenback.
Sterling was trading at 1.3955 into the 18:15GMT FOMC statement. 1.3844 was
yesterday"s European morning low (post-UK jobs data). 1.4157 was today"s Asian
session base.Please take the time to have a look around my Daughter's website www.daisypalmertrust.co.uk
