    Last night I was watching the financial news on the TV in the post-natal ward with a friend who'd come to visit - and they said that the AUD was up to 0.82USD. We both threw our hands in the air and cheered! Here's hoping it stays that way when Encore Bruticus comes out <touch wood> <cross fingers>

    It was almost at 83c yesterday and now it's dropped back down to just over 80

    From 80 to 77 Yen too

    What happened? And I hope it doesnt continue to slide again.
    Which brings us to where we are today...

    Paypal rate are not as per "official" exchange rates, they are 2 cents lower.. Ive learned that when I paid for certain stuff and checked on the Am shows for the rate. They always have 2 cents lower for some shitty reason.

    That's how you pay their fees for using their services.

    No one uses official rates. Everyone marks it up. PayPal's markup is 2.5%.

    Over 80, just as we are all leaving the US and coming home! Sigh!
