Euro exchange

Had hoped that the Euro would pick up before we went to Spain but things are not looking good so went for it and changed some money. I managed to get 1.132 which was a lot better than at my bank but disappointing considering what it has been

just returned from france and have now had nat.wide credit card bill exchange better paid all petrol and shoping on it

You did well Pete, Caxton are only offering 1:12 eu to the pound sterling. Hope it rises before June but I wont hold my breath . . .

Hi, It would be interesting to compare rates when we return, as we never buy before we go, we always use either a debit or credit card to purchase or get cash out.

We purchase using either the Nationwide Credit Card or the Halifax Clarity Card

We get cash out using either the Halifax Clarity Card or the Nationwide Debit.

I will post the exchange rates and any interest we receive, we if all goes well are going to Europe in May and September.

this may help or may not

Just taken the plunge, have cashed into euro today.rate ended up no different to what we got last year.

Exchange rate Mark??

Travel fx 115.4 delivered!

Better than I managed

Been trying to by euro on line 3 times I went thru the process and after a very long wait it came back with the same answer , contact your bank, contacted bank and they say no problem they have not declined or even had a request , on my account .I was trying for 45mins
Gave up got in car went to bank withdrew the cash and went to Exchange place on Immingham dock, round trip of 3.5 miles back in house 15 mins later and I got the same rate offered on line 1.152, so much for the internet

Why is everything so complicated at times , glad you got it Baza..just gotta spend it all now!.

same at the post office,ordered today.



1 GBP = 1.1540 EUR .

You did well, they're only offering 1 GBP = 1.1480 EUR now.
I usually use the Post office, very competitive and delivered next day (normally)

Moving about a bit now it's 1 GBP = 1.1460 EUR

1:1410 at the post office link above

You have to order £500 to get the better rate.

stil 1520 at caxton and you only have to buy 150 or more.
No need to wait in for delivery it goes on your travel card immediately and you can draw it out anywhere in euroland except UK

type in 2000 pound thats the rate i got

1 GBP = 1.1540 EUR

First I'd have to find 2 thousand pounds

Thanks Frank, didn't know that.
Never had to take that much away with me, probably because I don't use campsites !

If you had so much money why not use travel FX for 1:1640 ?

Can get 14.11 locally for any amount - will get a couple for Pauline as spending money

how do you go on with the bedsheets getting washed and your general household washing clothes etc, margarita uses a gallon of water to wash a cup.and as for showers,i will shower twice a day occassionally more so if its hot and sticky,i would spend half my holiday looking to fill the tank with water.

sometimes we dont use sites but after 5/6 days we have to go to a site to get everything fresh again.its great if you are wilding and have a tap within reach,but most places are remote{the places i wild are}so it would mean daily water excursions,i used to carry 5x25 litre containers for that reason.now i only carry 2x25 containers.give me some tips on how to save water{i have done the platic/carboard plates etc}

You will probably not gain any water saving benefit as electric showers are already low flow devices however, the Twin Injet technology will usually improve the quality of your showering experience

it says on the tin.not gain?

that's what we've ended up with delivered!

We have 700€ for Italy but it's all inclusive so we'll probably still have it for France

Makes sense (m.)

Hia

have you tried your local pawn shops or money generater shops as they sometimes have a euro exchange section

Navy shower

thats what we do in the van,get wet all over.turn the water off.lather all over.tap back on rinse off,just in time before the water gets cold.i think thats what everyone does.

Saves water as well!

1.21.euros to the £ cash generater

1.15.4 euros to a £ pawn shop

Polly does cash generator charge you for this rate?

Is this thread getting a bit off topic , we are now talking of washing and exchange rates , is that money laundering

Hia

Jeizz not sure

nice one.

Seeing as we will be taking nearly €50 with us in cash I have invested in a safe, having it installed by Chubb on Thursday, as it weighs 400KG it will cut down my payload quite a bit so to pay for the installation I will be renting space out in at very reasonable rates but sadly with no Insurance cover.

money laundering .. .
