Too many variables, eg Greece/our own elections. I cashed in our Endowment last year since it was due to mature 1 week after the election and I didn't fancy the risk, but we'll hold off buying our Euros till later.

Just depends if you're feeling lucky

The trend of the EUR over the last couple of weeks suggests it won't improve massively from 1.40. It's been as high as 1.41 lately but that lasted about a day before slipping to 1.38. Depending on how much you intend buying, it probably won't make a lot of sense waiting.

More downside risk in the Eurozone compared to the UK right now, so I would expect Sterling to appreciate against the Euro over the course of this year. But if you want certainty buy now, it is a pretty good rate compared to where it was a couple of years ago.

It will probably keep going up until a certain event 2 weeks tomorrow... The one thing markets hate is uncertainty... And for at least the next couple of weeks people will flee the pound

After we know who will be in charge... The money will come back

And on 12th March I moved them at exactly 1.38

Unless you're cashing up a couple of grand the movement in rates between now and the summer is gonna be a few quid at most.

Use a card abroad that doesn't charge and you get as close to the rate as possible. Better than cash and safer.

Post Office Credit Card is a great one to have when spending abroad.

It loads the current exchange rate without any commission or penalties.

I use it whenever we are out of the country. Always take cash too though.

Happy Holidays

Pre-paid cards as mentioned above are a great idea. As a company I issue Caxton Cards to our guys and can check the balance and top up instantly by text. NEVER buy from the airport unless you have to unless you pre-order on line and collect to get a better rate.

Post Office is doing 1.37 today as are quite a few others. Look at moneysavingexpert - they'll tell you the best rates.
