Hi debsy/mlbonner

Have been reading this thread over the last few days, decided to change my ££££ this morning with HIFX managed to get $2.4715, I am quite happy with that considering we were going to change it several months ago when it was $2.32! Good luck to you all that are ready to sell, wot a nerve racking time. Fingers crossed Debs all goes well.

A very excited/nervous Lisa x

wouldn't it be nice to see 2.6 in the next few days, just fuelled by the interest rate rise?
does anyone know whether a rise in int rate is due in OZ?

cheers

larissa, going by the jarvis luck method of prediction, the exchange rate will start to fall to a record all time low of $0.1 to the £ over the next few months. However once my house has sold and i exchange at the all time low rate it will shoot up to a record high of $100+ to the £. what i'd do is hang on until my house is sold and i've transferred my money over.



(please note this is the not a prediction based on any fact but my own insights, so anyone reading this and taking it seriously should have been shot at birth. thank you!)
