  • Grrr I am kicking myself as to why I didn't get my currency earlier as I still need to get some US$ for my trip to New York on Thursday!

    Please can anyone advise, am I best off now waiting and using my nationwide card while I am out there?

    Thanks

    !!!!!!!!! Was going to buy my currency this morning when the rate was at 1.43.

    I had to rush to do a presentation at uni and high street places are selling at 1.36.

    Any wise and wonderful person fancy telling me when might be the best time to buy between now and Fri?
