That's a worry. Glad you had great service. Sadly it does seem hit and miss but generally those on the frontline do a fantastic job with whatever resources are available at the time. Thinking of you both.

She’s very handy that MIL WN😁
Druid and dolphin hunting for us today….Anglesey. No druids, no dolphins, but we did manage (another) castle, a Priory, a Dovecote and a lighthouse. Beaumaris Castle, looking over the Menai Straits, St Seiriol’s Priory, Dovecote and Holy well. Lighthouse was down at Penmeon Point. Another very interesting day.

Looks like a fair day for travelling Nellie. You, hopefully, should be fine.
Up and out smartish this morning and off to the local hospital for blood tests. Have an appointment at the surgery first day after they open in New Year for results and tests. Quite surprised recently by a marked improvement in both friendliness and helpfulness of the surgery staff and doctors. I understand they recently had an inspection. I don't know what was discussed but I hope it continues in this manner.
Did the shopping at Tesco this morning. Good job I took MiL along as I forgot my money and clubcard. She kindly drew some cash out for me. I'll never hear the end of it now.
Have to visit our mobile once a week Post Office van this afternoon. Have some cards and letters going to Europe to post.

Re: Swift Select/Champagne 184 water filter?
As others have said, there's no filter only the grit filter at the head of the pump. No need to touch that at all. With an empty fresh tank, glug in your puraclean and fill up then run all outlets (don't forget the shower) until tank empty. Don't have the boiler turned on. Flush through at least two more full tanks, job done. I've had my Rhythm for ten years and do that job every three. The manuals are very generic and were probably written decades ago with a few tweaks. There's always a youtube video out there

Re: Rollerteam Tolino L
Fiat seem to use different size fuel tanks almost on a whim. Your handbook should tell you. As Jim says, it depends on the age of the vehicle. It also depends on the wheel base and whether it’s an AdBlue user. We had a 2020 with a large fuel tank and small AdBlue tank and a 2021 with a smaller fuel tank and larger AdBlue tank.🤷🏻♂️.
MPG - we got 19 from a 2007 3 litre model and low 30s from the others which were both 2.3 140 versions.

Re: Scotland to Spain and return costs.
Do those of you who keep such meticulous records do so from curiosity, or to inform future plans?
Both although the original motivation was to budget/ inform future plans, not necessarily confined to van trips. Without the aide of computers it is not any easy task and certainly before them any records kept were rather sketchy. As my finances have improved so the curiosity has become more prominant.
Does the result of record keeping influence holidays?
Not a lot, in this respect they are more a curiosity but there is little point in maintaining them if you didn't use them for whatever reason.
Would you cut short a trip / alter the final destination of a trip if money was running away and exceeding a budget?
This shouldn't happen if you have done your sums right, but the answer is no.
Would you make entirely different plans for the future if a trip had been wildly off the mark in terms of planned expenditure?
My plans are never the same, variety is the spice of life. Even if the destination is the same, the route there is always different and impacts costs..
