It is a pain in the arse, no doubt, but if you were planning on spending £1k when you're home its only an extra $140 - hardly a big deal.
If it bothers you than much just spend £70 less :)

Now if you were thinking of moving back for good......then its a different story... :scared:

BBC QUOTE..

On reaching $1.9748 [today], the pound had hit its highest level against the dollar since Black Wednesday in September 1992, when it crashed out of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM) under John Major's Conservative government.
