In hindsight
Dec. 19th, 2008 01:09 pmI should have bought this months ago when the exchange rate was actually good. Now it's 0.67AUD to 1.00USD plus postage. Waaaaaaay out of my price range :(
I'm excited
Oct. 16th, 2007 01:16 pmI just picked up my first installment of American Dollars and I'm smiling because it makes my trip seem a lot closer now.
Also I got a much better deal this time. The Aussie dollar has gone up so much! Last year I paid 74c Australian for $1.00 US. This time it was 88c and according to the news today, our dollar is hovering at the 90c mark which is a 20 year high. Maybe I'll buy some more while the going is good *bounces*.
It feels good to not be losing so much money!! *dances*

I was home so late last night I didn't even open the mail (it tends to sit in the laundry for weeks sometimes before I open it!). But for some reason this morning I actually opened it - and there was my tax cheque!!
And its more than I expected! I can pay my rates and have money left to spend at the Flanvention! *does the Snoopy dance*
So since our dollar is up against the US dollar, I'm off to buy some at lunch time before it plummets again.
I'm also happy cause someone claimed after me on the ff_roundrobin (I didn't kill the fic this time *laughs*). Here's the link - go read and comment!! Please......
