Dont envy my position one bit! For the past 2 weeks I've went through hell and back just to get this far and I am at the final hurdle now, with time running out. I check my phone every 5 seconds to see if my friend has gotten word on what the actual figure I will be getting is. He had £1500 in his credit union, and I added another £1500 to bring the savings account up to £3000. In a credit union, you can borrow up to double what's in your account, but when he applied for it, he said its up to the Union how much you get. Could only be £5000, could be £5500, could be £6000.
Plus the exchange rate is still plummeting thanks to the Euro crisis. We are now at £6500 for $10,000. When I pledged, it was £6250 for $10,000. My head is constantly on overdrive, I haven't slept since the Kickstarter was announced, and I just want it all to be over.
Trust me, yoy don't want to be me right now.
I am coming increasingly close to selling my body.
If I could split it halfway with someone I'd be tempted, but I'm currently saving up for a house, so I'm not sure if the missus would be thrilled about me spunking upwards of 7 grand for a trip to Monaco.
I must admit, I didn't realise the pound was taking such a pounding. Hopefully things will level out at least until the money is deducted from your account!
