Thanks Zoe and Swedebasher :)
I think the currency thing is a gamble - question is - do you wait and hope for a big rise
or order now and get a tiny bit more???

Its a difficult one to call Tony - just glad we never cash in what we bring back each year - softens the blow a tiny bit.

I have just been looking at there site https://www.crowncurrencyexchange.com/content/euros.asp
So it seems they give a rate for different times of ordering . So for example can I order for my holiday in August now and get the €1.12 rate now?

Yes - but if it were to go back up to €1.30 - you would be sick!! - remember - it's a gamble!!

Won't be buying until about August time - hope it does go up by a big chunk by then but will still keep an eye on this site.

Another good site I have found is for a company based at Hayle, Cornwall.   www.fairfx.com.    If you have one of their 'Cut out the middle man' cards you can get €.1.08 right now, with 1.06 if you pay by debit card.

The Sopranos-la miglior serie in TV mai.
Mafiosa , Gomorra e Innan vi dφr sono anche due serie eccellenti.

One advantage of going late it does have a chance to improve. 2 weeks ago at the post office the rate was only €1.03 so heres hoping :)

The best thing about the €uro is that we have a drawer full from previous years when we were getting anything up to €1.40. Not planned but at least we have a good start.
