Booking Currency- answer to Shona
Hi Shona
Re Money- we have used a company called Moneycorp- www.moneycorp.co.uk. We have pre-booked our dollars. You wait til the rate is good (we got £2.80 to £) and then 'book' the currency at an agreed rate. The you send a 10% deposit to hold that for a set period (we have gone for 3 months which can then be extended if need be). My sister and husband did this alos and mum has done it too. Just means that you dont find that when you get your PR the rate has taken a tumble and you lose out. Of course this can work in the reverse ie you book low and it suddenly shoots up to $3 to £ but that's the risk you take. Have a look at theri web site (has currency converters on) and Dominic is the guy that I have dealt with there
Love
Nibbles

I'm going to bed now as I need my beauty sleep big time and I've got weight watchers in the morning.
Not creating a good impression of myself, am I?
I'm absolutely drop dead gorgeous BTW
Thanks for that adviCe.
I'll check it out tomorrow, when I'm even more beautiful & lighter than today !
