Salary in Euro.... all bills in STG

eurofrustrating

Hi
Can someone please help me? I currently get paid in Euros, however all my bills are in stg... 1.5 mortgages, shopping, socialising etc. As you will know the euro has dropped dramatically. Can anyone suggest the best place/ website/ method of changing euros to stg to get the best possible rate. Its just becoming more depressing, when you think it can't get worse it always does!
Really appreciate any suggestions... thanks so much

It probably depends where you live.

The best rates I have received were with the Money Changers in Newry.

The two Currency Exchange Bureaus in Hill Street and in the Buttercrane have usually the same rate, which is the best I could find:

Thanks for that. I live just outside Newry and the above is where i have been going. Was hoping there was something better out there. looks like its back to hoping for a miracle then!

If you have a Irish Account and don't mind the transfer to take a day or 2 you could use one of the International Payment Services, but the rates are only slightly better:

Newry Today 0.775

0.7785 at http://www.hifx.co.uk/Default.aspx
0.7837 at http://www.worldfirst.com/about-us/best-foreign-exchange-rates/
0.7838 at http://www.currenciesdirect.com/

Said that, I personally don't think the rates will get any better anytime soon.
