The pound keeps nudging up against the Euro, currently sitting at 1.285 ish. How high can it go?

I don't see it rising above 1.30Euro, due to export from UK becoming too expensive for Euro zone.

Anybody else thing otherwise and why?

I guess the 1.30 "barrier" is in my head.

I have ordered something from a Dutch company, the delivery date is end of February, i don't have to pay for it until then, but i can pay earlier, so it is really how long does my nerve hold watching the exchange rate because i obviously want to save as much money as possible.

The price is 8500 Euro, not a fortune, but not loose change either!

Transferred money yesterday at 1.279 (no fees), looks like i got it just right, unless of course the £ bounces back, just my luck it will soar to 1.50 by Feb' !
