    use this to buy before she goes.

    She should also check out the terms and conditions of her bank to see if she will be charged for buying currency using any current account bank card she has.

    She can also withdraw money using a debit card again she needs to read the T&Cs on that.;)

    The euro rate dropped wednesday it was hovering about 1.16ish but was only 1.14 yesterday on the high street, dont know if it was just a blip and will go back up by the weekend or if its on its way down again. Thomas cook do reserve and collect now you can reserve it 2 days before you want to collect it and get it at the rate it was when you ordered it.
