Hi everyone
Not been on for a bit as we've all been a bit under the weather. Off to the US of A on saturday, travelling down to manchester airport tomorrow, staying at the Radisson. Unfortunately I've bought all my dollars now so won't benefit from the upward trend (unless I use my card over there, mmmm..)
Can I request that it falls quite a bit around the 18th May so I can change anything I come back with at a good rate!! Just for 1 day, mind.
Neil, I hope your having a fab time!
Is it Jonathans wedding today? Hope its all going well/went well.

u might have swine flu :eek:

Hi

I was thinking of buying my TCs from Thomas Exchange tomorrow. Im a bit worried about the fast payment service from my barclays account.

Does anyone know if this will definitely work as I cant afford to have 2k in £ take 3 days to get to TE as I'll be flying before they recieve the cash.
