howdy folks. on a customer site today. can't really do too much surfing when they're paying £800 a day for me
and thanks for the reminder jonny old boy! I was going to try to get £5k changed first thing this morning but have been too busy
that's just the start and the 3c drop means a difference of $150.
i'm trying not to think about it right now. I reckon with all the bad news this week we could be down in the 1.30's again... and right now i don't really want to think of this!!
Back in the office tomorrow so i'll be back online all day

what bad news????
nothing has happened yet...........

Hi guys, got back late yesterday and work is crazy today so haven't had a chance to catch up properly but got my CC statement this morning and the transactions i did in the first few days I was away have come throuh at between 1.46 and 1.49 so not too unhappy with that ( I'd got all the cash we wanted last summer at 1.90+).

hope you guys all ok

Thanks for your views today guys.... we decided not to risk + £6k in case the worst happens, so cancelled the order with Crown! Turns out no-one insures against that kind of thing either! I can bare the thought of loosing a couple of hundred quid on a lower rate, but definitely not the thought of loosing £6k!!!! :eek:

We don't fly out until 5th August anyhow, so we have some time so join the fun and games of the cable! :rotfl:

Let's hope this week passes without dipping below the 1.4....
