You are def counting down the days!!!!! lol how much money are you thinking of taking with you? i was told you should take aleast £500!!!!!?????? Bond
yeah think thats bout the benchmark! ive got $400 cash and $600 travellors cheques but gettin £80 more of Travellors cheques just to be safe! xxx
Blimey you'll be ok for a few weeks! I went and prnaged my parents car the other week so i have to sort out paynig them £400 as well as finding money for Florida! lol. Bry
oh no bry thats crap! i share a car with my mum at the min, was gettin a new one but was dependant on disney, so now i wait til i get bk but if i pranged me clio then, my parents wudnt b happy lol xxx
Bry where you drunk!!!!!!!!! lol, only joking, hi im james, nice to meet you, im new to the board!!!!! im off on 13th sept. woohoo your doing your a levels right??? Bond
Hey Sara, whats the $ like towards the £, how much £ was vs to get all that $ cash and traveller cheques???????????????? 007 Bond
at the minute its $1.85 to the pound. i got my TCs at £1.88 and cash at $1.85. $550 is approx £300 $400 approx £215 thats what i paid anyway so bout £500 for $1000 ish! xxx
would recommend buying currency off www.travelex.co.uk supposed to have the best rates and charges no commission. but you have to collect from an airport listed on the site the rate today on there is 1.8526
Sara so the $ isnt that bad,!!! but are pay is crap isnt it???? $6.25, thats nothing is it??!!!!! James
if you convert it to £s no its not good! but everythin over there is a lot cheaper than here! so it balances out! xxx
After working for the company for more then 9months you have the right to 9payed days off. Each 3 or4 month you have a couple of personal holidays, i think it's 2 or 3 days. And you can apply for as many ADO's you like, but there is a big chance you wont get it, and you certainly will not get payed that week! Hah, belive me!! And there is also back to backs to apply for, which meens you have the two last days of one week, and the two first days of the next week. 4days of in a row.
