good point dude!!!

quick question

Not sure if this is the right place for it but anyway -

Is it better value to use my Nationwide card to access money in New York or should i buy some dollars in the post office before I leave.

Secondly, if we make a big purchase eg, a camera of maybe $600 is it better to use a credit card ( for consumer protection) ?

Many thanks in advance :T

Hope it all goes well tomorrow Neil.

We're off down to Gatwick tomorrow afternoon - twilight check in and Travelodge overnight, flying Saturday morning (:j). It has been mad at work all week and will be even crazier tomorrow, so I guess this is it........:wave:
Thanks, and here's to the $ continuing it's upward momentum :beer: .

Have a good one Jackie.
At least we know it can't go lower whilst you're not watching

morning all, 1.4667, seems very jumpy this morning. lets hope for an end of week rally. upwards of 1.48 would be good.

Well I slaped another £500 on the FairFX card last night so get ready for the rate to rise like it did last time I had just topped it up :rotfl:

morning all

trading at 1.4740 right now

important US data out at 1.30pm (non-farm payrolls (NFP))

(GBP) The Halifax UK house price index falls 1.9% m/m in Mar, contradicting the 0.9% m/m increase reported by the Nationwide. The Halifax 3mth y/y measure nevertheless firms up slightly, to -17.5%, from -17.7% y/y in the 3mths to Feb.

The Halifax measure contrasts with the market consensus of -1% m/m (-17.3% y/y), so those bulls who bought GBP on the back of the Nationwide report released only yesterday, may be wondering if they got a little too excited about the state of the UK housing market. All eyes now on the Mar CIPS services sector survey at 09:30.
