    damn.. i bought my dollars for my holiday (yes, got the other half cash at $1.65 yesterday)

    well, I've still got a few more hundred to change, so i'll be patient and decide nearer to the time... having my hols booked for a month and only just got my dollars i think i've done quite well..

    Whaddya think guys - $1.70 trading by weeks end? Big news in the week coming, what with GDP and a rate decision - so it could be a bit choppy... but I will be optimistic!
