Low Exchange Rate!

Like a lot of filipinos here in London supporting their families back home, I too, is suffering from the credit crunch. As far as I can remember it has never gone down to 80 but today it is 73 pesos for a pound (GBP). I have spoken to my family on skype and they have a lot of demands especially this christmas season is approaching. I desire to give them more than what they have asked for but I just can't. We are living in central London and this is indeed an expensive city to live in. I hope soon, it will go back to the usual rate so they can enjoy more shopping. I bet other OFW here in London will agree with me.
