Maineville, OH. Just outside Cincinnati.
Already bought a house (well, mansion) as told Visa was a formality.
Visa still "processing"!!!

Let's hope it comes through on the day the exchange rate touches £1:$2 again...

what kind of work do you do?

just wondering what the Rugeley/Cincinatti connection could be ?? :cool:

what does 200k buy you out there? i've always thought about moving abroad. i looked at aus a couple of years ago, you could get a brand new 4 bed detached house with swimming pool double garage, fully furnished for £150k, about 20 miles outside sydney.

This was $200k. Hopefully link will work...

not alot to report i'm afraid...

after all the build up and excitement of the rate cut, its all gone very flat this afternoon

trading at 1.4120 right now, on an upwardly trend
lets hope for an end of day rally so we can all climb back on board Mraz's rocket.....


tomorrow at 1.30pm we have US non-farm payroll figures - that could shake up the market one way or t'other....

one way or t'other in our favour in favour of the yanks?,
