Doesn't sounds sexy does it and to be
honest, until last week if I'd seen it as a standalone word I wouldn't
have known what it meant except vaguely that I see it towards the back end of
newspapers in the financial pages which don't take up much of my
time.
Anyway it made me happy and I know what
it is now, although I think I'll still use Marks and Spencer as a guide for
my international wheeling and dealing:) It made me happy because I had to
re-order some items from a Spanish company I do business with near
Alicante, I asked for price updates if there were any (there weren't,
they're holding their prices, goody)............but then the best bit when I
told P the € price was the same he told me I'd save about 20% on last time I
purchased because of the Pound's strength.
Yay! I told P that would actually pay for a holiday
or near enough, he said it was very nice of me to offer. I said well take me up
on it then, make some time. He said it might get better still, the pound
might strengthen a bit more. Really, I said, how do I check on that, I mean
I could delay paying a bit if it's going to improve. That was when he told
me about checking forex online, current and future, and listen out for
what BoE said about interest rates but then it started to sound a
bit boring and I told him great, thanks, and quietly resolved to still use
MandS, it's much friendlier.
I don't think I'll go in for wheeling and dealing,
and I don't think I'll delay paying José, he's a nice man. I'll just be
grateful for the little bonus.
Have a good week.
Have a good week.
