    It's because I finally 'bit the bullet' and ordered my currency on Monday evening. :rotfl:

    Still, as I'll put most of our spending on CC, any improvement in the rate in the next 4-5 weeks is still good for me. :D
    Everything will be alright in the end so, if it’s not yet alright, it means it’s not yet the end
