[fred]

Wheres the exchange rate at the bottom of the forum gone?

[James Hubbard]

didn't notice it was gone til now.

I am having an existential moment of self doubt!

What if it never really was there? What if ... this forum doesn't really exist and I am just in a daze right now ... or what if .... what if I don't exist?!?

You need some sleep James! so tomorrow when you wake up you'd say..."Oh yeah! I do exist!"
And gotta lot of work to do !"

I woke up this morning to a "txt msg" ... and i cut my nipple with my sharp fingernail! Woke up covered in blood! lol! True story!

I will sleep soon.

I do love running my own business though, coz it means no early mornings! gosh, I HATE early mornings lol!

exchange rate going in wrong direction again, around the same now as it was more than 10 years ago, and just think how much things have gon up since then, rp is not cheap anymore, prices go up ther very quick, and our pound is going down..

good find terpe. it would be nice if it just got back to around 85, that would help a lot of people with family in rp, i no it wont go back to the boom of 100+ again but would be nice if it did..

its like anything you have to ajust your buget to make things better for yourself

[Languish]

Hopefully it will stay higher for my visit in November.

[stevewool]

well languish not matter what it is then you would still have a great time and not to long to wait now

[joebloggs]

yes 2004-2006 were good years for us Brits

[jimeve]

It was good for me & wife, we built most of our house when the exchange was 90/100

[Languish]

Its on 69 at the moment - im hoping to see a favourable exchange rate for my visit there in 3 weeks i doubt it will shift much though to be truthful, non?

[KeithD]

You'd only notice a differerence if it shofted 10+

£/$ is now 1.6

[stevewool]

[jimeve]

we will gonna wait for that rate again till we buy properties in phils..just wonder when that will happen lol

I was lucky really, I met and married my wife in 2002, bought the lot in 2003 then built the house regardless of the rate, and the materials was much cheaper then

Probably a wasted exercise as by the time that ever happened,the crazy monetary inflation here would have wiped out your gains.
Example: 2 years ago a cubic meter of gravel here in Bohol was 600 Pesos. I just bought some yesterday for 1200 Pesos per cubic meter.. Same type of thing goes for sand and cement..(you know...The stuff houses are made out of)
