Pound still making a comeback against the euro - up a cent today. Hopefully the BoE won't say anything to knock it down in the next 2 weeks and then it'll be NW flexaccount card in the hole in the wall.
 Every little helps.
On Crown at the moment for when we go its €1.17. Will see if it goes a bit better and then buy some.
I expect theres a bloke down the pub who sells euro's for half price, same serial no. though - LOL
And of course Gordon is printing loads-a-money, maybe theres some spare!!

A friend of mine has read today that the euro might peak in the next few weeks at €1.25. If it does we will buy then.

If it does at least it will be better than last year when we got about €1.20. If the prices have stayed relatively the same in the village it won't be so bad after all.

Paper talk. Prob the Daily Express. They usually have headlines like "Pound soars"....but in reality goes up about 0.5cents against £. In winter "Blizzards for whole of winter". Forget it.
Pound/euro will stay around 1.11 for next month or so. Don't ever believe "i've just read...." No one knows; just like no analyst predicted financial meltdown last year.

We usually buy about a week before but this year might have to be different if the rate does go up to €1.25.

Aaaargh...thanks to McBroon and all the infighting with the damned incompetent labour party, the pound has dropped like a stone against the euro. Lost 1.25 euros on Thursday alone :(

And of course Gordon is printing loads-a-money, maybe theres some spare!!

A week ago today i wrote this. anyone going in next month should've got euros in last week. C'mon all, i reckon most of you are my age or older! Labour in power normally equals economic crisis at some point! Crisis normally means 'run on the £'!

Labour is getting to be a dirty word these days! Especially when it costs us so much!!
I won't worry about the exchange rate, unless it goes up to around €1.30 again - it's simply going to be expensive this year!!
