            I don't really fancy Euros, I'd prefer Canadian and one or two of the other countries that were in surplus last year and aren't printing and QEing.

                Not for me it isn't. The Swiss franc bounced between 1.8 and 1.74 for ages. Then in early Aug when it hit about 1.81 it started on the steady march downwards. To me that means my after tax has gone from 306 to 338 - purely based on the exchange rate. Which is nice. Obviously it wasn't too nice when it was going the other way though!
                Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

                I preferred version 1!
