I hope so! We just need to get some money together so that we can forward buy our currency if it does get better.
We have been told by Moneycorp that you need 10% of the amount you want to buy.

Is anyone else planning to forward buy?

It is the Aussie interest rate decision today and it will be published on Wednesday AM. I hope they cut their rates and then A$ should continue to rise.

Yes in the next 1/2 weeks when it hits 2.55 (praying)

Custom House only require 5% of the total amount you wish to forward contract.
I've got accounts with currencies direct, hifix and customs house and the latter always give the best buy rate.
Anyone else recommend a broker.

No just another temporary blip. Make the most of it. My guess is that the rate will be back towards the low 2.4s by mid month.

I have looked at the site and it looks interesting and has good rates 2.501 at the moment.
How do you register for a forward contract?

To register it's really easy, phone them up, the number is 0800 389 9432 ask to open an account.
They fax you a form which you need to fill in - you have to send them a copy of a utility bill and proof of id that's it.
regards,
pickle
