Should I book now - will exchange rates change?

I am about to book an easyjet flight and a self catering apartment in Rome using the Abbey zero card. But, I am unsure as to whether the euro/sterling exchange rate change soonish. Is the pound getting stronger or weaker?

I don't know whether to wait and risk losing the apartment, or book and risk the pound getting stronger.

Does anyone out there have any knowledge about how things are looking?

Thanks for your help.

    You're as well asking Mystic Meg or going down your local fairground and finding a fortune teller.

    If anyone really new the answer they's be out making millions on the markets.

    As has been said, no one knows but a colleague of mine who works in foreign currency expects the £ to fall much further, possibly as low as $1.22 to the £ and one to one with the euro. However I am not sure anyone can predict where we go in the next 6 months
