Day 32 in quarantine.
Insurance contacted me to say they’ve sent the engineer’s report to the other person’s insurance company to see if they will accept costs.
I’ve asked if I can see the report also.
Short walk, messed up a bit due to my FitBit not locking on at all until about 20% into the walk.
Today did my FitBit workout. Backs and Legs today, 31 mins.
Reached the end of the first month of quarantine. Lots of stuff done with my insurance claim, but that’s in another blog entry.
Did my 5k walk, which ended early due to a WhatsApp message.
Someone had just wrecked their car on the SAME traffic island that caused my car to be wrecked, and only SIX days after my accident.
Anyone want to bet they were distracted by my wrecked car?
4.70km walk (though my FitBit lost GPS for a while so the tracking was all over the place). No FitBit workout after the walk.
Insurance came back this morning and confirmed my car is a writeoff. The assessors called in the afternoon and valued my car at just over £3000. Considering it’s an 09 plate, that isn’t too bad, I think. Will discuss with family before giving the go ahead. The car next to mine is also written off, with value of £2200. Meaning a total of £5200 will be claimed from the third-party insurance, and that’s not including the damage from the other two cars, and the driver’s own car.
Got my courtesy car from the insurance today and went shopping straight after work, so no running or walking today, but I still did my FitBit workout.
3k walk today, which took me about 30 mins, then I decided to take up FitBit’s offer to a 3 month trial of Premium, which included access to FitBit Coach (which I used previously). Picked up where I left off and resumed my “Get Lean” program. Today’s workout was also 30 mins long and definitely made me sweat. God, I’m so out of shape… :-(
In other news, I finally got called by my insurance company and have so far spent two hours on the phone with different companies — the insurance company, the accident claims management company partnering the insurance company and the assessors who are responsible to checking whether the car is repairable.
My dad’s car, which was also damaged has been declared a writeoff, even though it suffered less visible damage than my car. Mine hasn’t been declared written off yet, although I’ve sent all the videos and photos I have to the assessors. We shall see whether or not I need to get a new car….
5k walk today, lovely weather, but surprisingly few people queuing. Got in to Co-op without anyone in front of me in the queue, Tesco Express petrol station had no queues, neither did Sainsbury’s. Tesco Express supermarket had 1 person in the queue who just entered as I walked past. Only a few people queuing at my local fruit n veg shop, and the one by Tesco Express supermarket wasn’t open today.
Short walk, but can’t focus with the wrecked car on my mind….
A rainy afternoon, so I went for a 30 min walk. In the rain, since I need the exercise, even if I’m going to get wet in the process….
Interrupted afternoon walk due to rain :(
Did manage to go out again after work, and do a short round.
Long walk round, and something happened to my fitbit on the route and it stopped tracking, leaving a half complete loop, even though I did finish it. Maybe it was because I decided to run a bit and perhaps the tracker stopped because it could see I wasn’t walking any longer….
