Well our money is on its way from both the UK and Singapore. We need to complete on 8th June so daren't leave it any longer, and at least we've done better than expected.

OK, I am struggling here....are you saying that for a cost of £2K, you can buy an option to exchange at £1:$2?? Is this along way off into the future

At the moment you seem to suggest for a cost of 0.67% of your cash, you can guarantee a gain of circa 14% (eg from $1.75 to $2)

Wow, my girlfriend dispatched her assessment stuff by air mail last Thursday and when she filled in the credit card form her assessment fee was the equivalent of £515. By the time the plane lands in Aus with the assessors (any day now) and they process her credit card it'll be £492!! Magic!

Ok its official the bird has landed. My girlfriends assessment was going to be £515 when her assessment docs took off in to the Sky. As of Monday May 24th the AASW have processed her $850Aus fee and its come out as £485!! £30better value while in transit. Happy days!:thumbsup:
