Re: What are you all up to
I'd love to get rid of our landline but MiL doesn't do mobiles so we're stuck with it for the moment. Like Steve we recently upgraded the hub and the new one was EE marked.
Had a lovely morning despite the atrocious weather. We met the Ttdas' at a local coffee shop/cafe as they were heading to North Wales and had a good blather for a couple of hours before they proceeded on their way. Lovely to see them again. Hope they have a good break in spite of the forecast.
Trying to organise workman is akin to herding cats. I'd be happy if we could corral just the one of them (workmen not cats).
Re: Spare tyre in Spain
For Spanish residents, a spare tyre or puncture repair kit must be carried in the vehicle, but if your vehicle is registered outside Spain this is not obligatory.
I suggest that you carry a puncture repair kit. In reality and in my experience, it is unlikely to be of any use if needed but at least you have something to show the police if you want.
Enjoy your trip.

Re: Motor insurance
Reading this reminded me of an email I got from my car insurance recently. The point of the email was just to mention that car insurance costs have gone up by average of 43% in the last year which is quite frightening! My insurance is not due until next month and I have changed my car since the last renewal so I am expecting bad news. Having said that the OP's insurance has more than doubled in price which seems at odds with the "average increase" mentioned by my insurers. In the past when I have got quotes from the Club for motor insurance I have never found them very competitive.
