This morning's high - $1.8999!!
We have just forward bought some dollars for October through our bank (First Direct)at $1.88 (rate was 1.896 on xe.com) - we were going to wait it out to see if the dollar went higher, but decided we were happy with that rate.[msnsmile2]

They are offering $1.833 now.
Sorry for the delay Paul. We use FX Currency Services Ltd. There phone number is 020 78286680. You have to registar with them, but if you are after changing large sums they are very good. What we now also do is get them to send it to us in a bankers draught which costs £4.00. then take it with us and bank it ourselves when we get to florida. Save`s us about $55.00.
Norma.
Just checked with FX and now $1.8804 so getting really close.

I have done the deal couldn't wait any longer, we fly out on Monday I exchanged at $1.88 with currencies Direct
I am happy with that, when we went to Florida in December I exchanged the same amount of Sterling then as I have Today, only this time I am $322.00 better off
That is a good start up our trip [msnsmile2][msnsmile2][msnsmile2]
Well done Barbara. All good things come to those who wait.
The other side of the coin!
I have some American friends visiting, the rate the post office is giving to buy US$ notes is US$2.03 = £1
As it is I need US$ so I give them the Citibank rate at which I can buy dollars - but it shows what a huge differential there is between buying and selling rates - easy money.

I did OK Graham I think it will go higher this coming week
When the exchange rate is good against the Dollar. will give our business a boost.everyone loves a bargain
I remember visiting Florida three years ago when the exchange rate was $1.60 certainly makes a difference
