for no reason, as far as i can see, we just went from 1.4075 (@10.45am) to 1.4115 (@10.50am), then hurtling back down to 1.4050 (@11.10am)[/quote

look on the bright side. at least we got the good feeling when it suddenly jumped up!

well it looks like we're going to break 1.40 shortly

looks like your prediction was right, 1.3984, not looking good! is there any word on why its dropping, and don't say more sellers than buyers!!!!

i was hoping a bit of reverse psychology would keep it about 1.40

looks like that's another tactic of mine for getting the $ rate up out of the window!

Having booked a 3 week family holiday to LA/Las Vegas for this coming June way back last summer, we've been watching this thread ever since the dollar started dropping last year. It is depressing, despite having no control over it. We're just hoping now for say a $1.50 to the pound... but even that seems like some unreachable goal. I try not to think about it too much, but we're going to need a whole bucket load of cash now... nightmare. Could be worst, at least flights, car, and accomodation paid for... just the spending money. Who knows lets hope for a miracle in the coming weeks.

I think most of us are in the same boat, don't be a lurker come in and join the madness, we have a nice wee clique forming here. The other thread dudes don't like our sarcasm.
