Of course a few years ago I'd freak at $1.87 to the £, but given the last few months it is a bit of relief if you are heading over anytime soon.

(I get paid in £s though living here so I'm not entirely thrilled).

verrrrry goooooood........... :::rubbing my hands with glee:::::

Hold out as long as you can Emma.

And it's still falling... For me this is good news as I have debts that I have to pay back in the UK, so it means less $ each month. I'm not sure about the comment in the article about the dollar's recovery being sustainable. The dollar was always going to rebound, it was just a question of when. Now it seems like the US economy is slowly starting to recover, but the worst is yet to come for the UK economy, so unless something changes then I can't see the pound rebounding any time soon.

Yep, will help with the child support payments you have to send back to the UK for your kids. Exchange rate will help.

NIGHTMARE for those of us trying to get the other way.....knocking thousands off our emmigration fund.

And not so great for those of us who are still paid in Sterling

Why don't you look at 6 to 24 monthly contracts from either MoneyCorp or HiFX. I'm locked into $1.955 until June 2009 for my monthly pension.

It is swings and roundabouts as you obviously loose out if the rate goes up, but at least you know for a given period of time how much you will receive each month.

You get paid for lounging in the pool all day!

Blimey Mallory have you had your claws sharpened recently?

Not all day. I lunch too. And have my nails done. And have a maid running around after me 24/7. It's a tough life, but someone has to do it

BTW ABY... if you want to start calling me a bitch when you send me karma,
1. realise you're sending me karma, duh, and
2. at least have the decency to tell me why I am one.
Thanks!

suhweet! Going home in October

Yay! You'll be glad of it too then!

Maybe he was calling someone else a bitch for how they'd replied to you, and showing you his support by giving you karma. Don't know, but could be??
