Ha Haa Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha .........Oh sorry...... just a bit of hysteria then in between packing for our flight.
Actually, I dropped 40,000 off the house, the endownments were crap due to pulling out early and we have just given up our jobs. But I don't care because it's taken 3 years and we have to go now so I am not worrying about something I have absolutely no control over. I am going to look forward to my new job and meeting lots of new people.
How was that for positive thinking :thumbsup:

Re: $1.81 to the pound! :eek:
 

like your style I am trying to think the same. My move has been 4 years coming!! :thumbsup:

Can anyone currently in Oz tell me whether I would get a better exchange rate if I took Stirling over to Oz and changed it for AUD there, rather than doing it here (best rate I have seen in UK on the high street is 1.80).

Re: $1.81 to the pound! :eek:
 

Never thought it would reach 50p let alone 55p. I feel like i'm earning more now because i still compare dollars to pounds, even after living here 7 years.:eek:

Annoyingly I sent a load of money over to the UK when it was at the lows of 1.98 to pay a chunk off the mortgage. Oh well lets hope it stays low for a few more weeks I've a bonus comming that needs to be sent over.

Are you talking about changing just whatever cash you have in your wallet as spending money or are you talking about a larger sum? If it's the latter, use xe.com or a similar currency trading company, paying high street rates probably wouldn't be the best use. Plenty of threads on this.

If it's just cash for spending...I will try to look at what the currency exchange in the mall is offering when I go later today/tomorrow.

What's you source Suzy?

Re: $1.81 to the pound! :eek:
 

Sorry my mistake it's $1.75 Cash Generators, they've had the best rates I've been able to find. Although on x-rates.com it's at $1.82, but it's not that when we've looking to change our cash
