Wheeling + dealing in the financial market?
Sunday 3rd December, 2006 | 1:50 pmStill another week and a half until I head down to London for the interview at the US embassy, but with the way the exchange rate is, am very tempted to have a couple of thousand pounds changed to US dollars in the next few days. It’s been slowly creeping up, and is about 1.98 dollars to the pound now - that’s unreal considering what it was back in the summer, but of course very handy indeed for me 
Is giving me an extra $1000 or so over what I would have got in the summer!
Would be even nicer if Insure&Go would actually refund the money from my cancelled Japan trip - that’s been 3 months now, and would definately recommend people avoid them for their travel insurance, as if something does go wrong (like in this case), they take a ridiculous amount of time to respond to your claim. Less the excess, they’re sitting on £800 of mine which I’m not too keen on
