The thing is, I hope the UK does well. I would have hoped the same had we voted Remain.

So do I, I'm just waiting to find out what direction we are going in and if there is any control, both of which seem to be lacking in the UK negotiation team.

Depends on a whole myriad of things. Do I think the pound continuing to soften from these levels would be a good thing - no. Does a bit of inflation hurt - depends whether wages pick up - but it's the only solution to the vast debts we have. The thing is, I hope the UK does well. I would have hoped the same had we voted Remain.

With Brexit looming this is a Scrodingers Cat situation , when the box is opened (Brexit Terms and conditions are known) then pound will go up as the uncertainty stops , I have a lot of money riding on this , of course when they call its name (lets call it Boris) and it no longer responds then that's when the pound slumps back again.
