There's nothing like the old plastic money to send you broke with a smile.

no worries.. wasn't sure how to title it, so I made it broad...

I'm keen on this new topic you're working on though

Just doing some netbanking to pay back Thanatos and I found that Botcon took my money!

Yay! I'm getting those toys and should now also be a OTFCC member.

Same here! Anybody get the 2nd set of bagged figs?

[iceburn]

Yes...my credit card too has been charged...US$514 = A$593.85
Here comes the box and loose set....

[Paulbot]

My credit card has not been charged. This makes me unhappy because if they had their act together and could have alerted me to whatever mistake I must have made when I was filling the form in I could have fixed it. Puttup

Well, my card was charged in the half day since my last post. It was AU$675.50, which works out to be the entire US$604 I signed up for (should mean I got the loose set and into the two pre-con tours).
I was really hoping the AU$ would go up a following our Interest Rate Rise at the same time as their Rates being slashed by over 1% in a month. Currently they are at 3% while we are at 6.5%, making investing in our currency more attractive - but the exchange rate didn't move at all, sitting still at 89-90 us cents.
At least it should mean the exchange rate shouldn't change much before Botcon in April, especially if there is talk of another rate rise here in March or April, and the US economy on the brink of recession (prompting more rate cuts there).
Still should be the best exchange rate at BotCon ever for me, so I gotta make sure I save up heaps to take advantage of it.
