Maybe we'll be renting a bit longer than we thought just to get the most out of ££££s!

End of November latest for us:(
There goes the Lincoln navigator.

Re: Exchange rate
 

Lincoln Navigator?! Oh you do know how to win sympathy don't you. I got 2.27 when I exchanged back at the beginning of the year <grins smugly> and I don't have a Lincoln Navigator so neither should you have one :p

The swimming pool was kissed good bye when the rate dropped from $2-35 to $2-20 earlier this year:curse:

Re: Exchange rate
 

No swimming pool either eh? Life is going to be tough. What happens if it drops below 2? (No, not the hot tub!)

Re: Exchange rate
 

Does anybody out there think it will rally above 2.10 before the end of next week.....or the hot tub gets it!!

Re: Exchange rate
 

Spot price at the close today $2.0690

If you want to buy Canadian dollars at the TD bank you'll only get $2.0304 :eek::(

Just saw this article in the Vancouver Sun, thought it might be useful to those who understand the USD/CAD effect on sterling.

Parity by end of year, or sooner

The combination of record-high oil prices and a weak U.S. dollar has sparked increasing speculation about the Canadian dollar surpassing the value of the greenback for the first time in 31 years.

Re: Exchange rate
 

I hope the rate stays above $2.05 for all you people who are so close to exchanging. I know how frustrating it is..

Re: Exchange rate
 

Its hovering just above 2.05. My guess is it will be at 2.04something by the time the markets close today. Very f*****g frustrating as I finally managed to get my UK stakeholder pension transferred to Canada and they are now planning to convert it rather than hold it in Sterling!

Re: Exchange rate
 

what did I tell you - 2.0495!

Re: Exchange rate
 

THIS IS DIS-AST-RE-US!!!!!!
Really, we are bolloxed.

Re: Exchange rate
 

I must admit I did think of you. Where are you upto with the house sale and purchase?

Re: Exchange rate
 

We are remortgaging, the people over there are saying we may need to pay their bridging loan. We might have enough to pay for the house but we'll have to walk everywhere. The exchange rate is going to be a killer, I'm seriously thinking about dropping out of this Canada thing and cutting my losses.
