Training in Quarantine – Day 83

Gloomy day, but still hot and muggy with occasional showers.

My hire car finally got picked up, exactly 8 weeks after it was delivered.

Had a moan at Toyota over email — they confirmed my appointment to get the key reprogrammed, but attempted to sneak a £10 charge in, for “a 40-point surface point clean”

Considering I’m only going back there due to a mistake made by their mechanic and paint damage caused by them, I shouldn’t be paying for any of that.

Charges are waived.

Training in Quarantine – Day 82

Mixed weather today — rain and sun. Went and got some walking done.

Toyota contacted me saying they have my spare key (the mechanic apparently lost it after programming it and they needed to order a new one – to the tune of £250 cost).

I’ll need my take my car back to let them program the key, and hopefully get the dinks in the paintwork fixed.

The next appointment is next Monday, so I’ll head up after my daily meeting.

During my walk, the hire car company finally called asking for their car back, they’re coming to collect tomorrow, so I topped up the car to make sure they don’t fine me for not having enough fuel.

Training in Quarantine – Day 78

Another rainy day. Ended up working a bit longer than I expected due to stuff happening that I wanted to fix before the weekend. Overworking seems to be quite a common tendency now, due to the extended working from home situation, even though it’s not advisable.

Eventually the rain did stop, so managed to go for my walk around 5pm.

Training in Quarantine – Day 77 & Car Update

Another miserably rainy day.

Finalised my main Car Insurance. Costing me £450 for the year.

The car deposit is now on my card. I’d better start looking at paying it off soon….

EDIT: It did stop raining for a bit after dinner, so managed to get my walk done at least.
