What's Going on with the Dollar rate???

[karenk]

I'm not even looking at the dollar rate.....every time I do it plummets, especially when I'm about to transfer some money. Buy now is my tip as I'll be transfering some in a couple of weeks, so that will put the dampners on any pound v dollar recovery.

Hi everyone, Travelex are having a one day 1HR sale tomorrow from 16:00 to 17:00hrs, they had the Euro sale today,

Ending the week on $1.57 if it carries on like this I'll be able to afford to go back sooner rather than later..[msnwink]

You seem to get a much better rate on the internet, but paying with Visa Debit seems to incur a charge, does anyone know how to buy cash/travellers cheques on the internet without incurring a charge.

Touched $1.59 this afternoon.

Thanks Christine will look into crown currency.

Hope I don't kill the trend but its very pleasing to see the Dollar heading for $1.60. Praying on the financial expertise of some of you is this upward trend going to stay around for a little while ?
