You will have noticed that I've been banging on about recent financial "rewards" but the reason for that is that we got such an incredible deal yesterday.
We tend to keep an eye on exchange rates at least on a weekly basis and if we're due, certainly as a daily routine. Key figures to monitor are usually the pound to the New Zealand Dollar and the Thai Baht and we're comfortable with the average prices by now.
To cut a long story short, we reckon on THB 22 to the NZ buck and if it goes up, we sometimes buy early and leave the cash in Thailand for our next visit. Yesterday we got THB 24.4 to the Dollar (yes, you will get better deals for real bank exchange rates but they are never for mere mortals) and by sending the cash over six months early, we have managed to make enough to put up the m-i-l for a fortnight at the hotel.
Now that is definitely not chicken feed.
