    Thanks for your views today guys.... we decided not to risk + £6k in case the worst happens, so cancelled the order with Crown! :o 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....

    wise move i reckon
  • morning all, trading 1.4518, was pretty steady through the night.
    fingers crossed for a good day
  • below 1.45 now. currently 1.449

    Ba5tard. Yes, I'm extremely jealous :)
    Yosemite is superb. Vegas is better.
    Get a Hilton card (if you haven't already). Get racking the points up! I've got about 250,000 points

    Your first time in Vegas?

    Can I go on record as saying I'm hoping for 1.50 by the end of the week.
    I'm also hoping for a lottery win and a 3some with Kim Kardashian and Lucy Pinder.

    A man can dream :)

    Oh, and welcome back Jackie!! Hope you had a blast!
