mint Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Yes, Bugs, it's thrilling but I don't like to buy money and stuff today as it's a sad day for many and the weather is adding to the gloomy mood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Internet access today so just checked: 1.195!So, is that good? Don't really know as I haven't been able to keep a weather eye out and having a break from Internet Slavery (that is, me being the slave)How's that compare with recent data, guys?

crossy67 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Not bad, it was over the 1.2 mark last week but has been as low as 1.15's not too long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Crossy, did you get a good rate for the completion of your property in Aubeterre?I meant to ask you last week and then, the time just went and I found myself back in the other place sans intenet!

crossy67 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I was quite lucky really, not as lucky as I would have liked but free money is hard to come by [:(]I transferred a large chunk of savings over just as the rate was starting to dip, I ended up with a touch over 1.2 in the end, the rate was about 1.22 if I remember correctly. Within a couple of weeks it was 1.15, pheww, close or what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Well, done, Crossy! You were actually luckier than we were. We changed a small amount (about 25K) at 1.18, then about 65k at 1.14 and a final tranche at 1.17.Still, I don't care because I was just glad the deal was done and we have secured the house. As they say, don't sweat the small stuff?[:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crossy67 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 You would never do anything if you were waiting for the best time with such unknowns. Just go for it when the time is right for you. Wish I had liquidated all my assets for transfer at that rate though :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJT Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I know I'm not the only one disappointed but Arghh!! I really don't understand it but I just can't see why Sterling is staying soo low. It has now been about three years since it crashed![:(] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
