goddammit - i was all ready to buy the rest of our currency for holiday at 1.6475, just went to the loo and made a cup of tea (washing hands in between, I must add), and came back and it was 1.63! !!!!!!!
there's a tip for you, don't procrastinate.... no tea, no pee...
all this on top of finding out today that expedia have decided to change 3 out of 4 of our honeymoon flights without telling us... oh happy day!!!
