Think we should get our cash sorted sooner rather than later :s

Nice one.

Cheers for the heads up dude.

Gonna get some changed tomorrow just incase, although the bulk of my spends are gonna come from wages between now and Fest so I guess i'll have to cross my fingers that the pound gets it's shit together.

ha, i'm also hoping the pound gets it's shit together. i probably won't be changing any money till student loan dayy which is in a month. hopefully my shitty quids will be worth something . changes in the exchange rate won't affect me tooo drastically though will they?! we talking much dollars difference?

hopefully shit can even up (after the Fest i guess) so i can go to the UK and not go broke

Depends how much you change I suppose, I can't see it getting that bad but you never know.
If you want a glass is half full kinda approach I guess if you not taking much money then the odd pennies you're gonna lose through the exchange rate wont really matter anyway because they aren't gonna mount up.
If you're taking a lot of bones then the money you lose through a shit exchange rate won't affect you too much because you're loaded anyway.

Apparently it's at it's lowest point against the dollar since like october 2006 or summin. Bad times.

I am fully aware that this post didn't really help anyone, but it did help me pass the time at work so for that I am thankful.

Check this shit out yo.

Steeper than Rod Hull's roof, that drop.

haha was he the emu bloke? what a corker

just checked out that beast of a chart. theres nothing like some good hard statistics.

yeah, somethingl like 27 days in a row of dropping. i get paid in 14 days and im def gonna change some over then. knowing my luck it'll go stright back up, but i'd prefer to risk it in case it nose-dives further.

anyone got their bucks yet? im thinking of getting a hundred quids worth now, just incase it gets worst for us exchangers.. and also incase it gets better

i can't for another couple of weeks. my money wont be worth a bean by then. id love it if it suddenly shot up. but i don't see that happening.

I got paid today, and I need to get me some other foreign types of cash at the weekend so I might just try and pick up some dollars too.

I got some $$$ today from Marks and Spencer mate, they seem to be the best and it was $1.75 to £1.

Seriously its dropping constantly. I figured I'd work out how much I need roughly for Fest and then get a bit of that every time I get paid until I leave so if it does keep dropping, at least I'll feel like I got kind of a good deal.

If you have a Cheque Centre near you, try there, I tend to find they're always the best.

And to think a couple of months ago it was two dollars to the pound.

Some American woman gave a me $1 yesterday, it's now affectionately known as my lucky dollar.

I tidied up a bit yesterday, and found $13 that must've been left over from last year. Hurrah.
