Wet Again

Heavy rain set in during the early hours and continued well into the morning. It was wet enough that I wore my waterproof trousers when walking to Zoe's to provide the school escort service.

Back home I settled down with the news, some coffee, and some porridge. When I finally stirred myself I decided to follow up on a recent campaign by Martin Lewis (the Money Saving chap). It appears that some finance companies paid discretionary bonuses to car salesmen. These bonuses were financed from the contracts they were selling. This was not disclosed to the customers and is now being examined. We had three agreements in the window of time from 2007. I dug out the agreements, checked the reference numbers, and used the MSE online tool to construct a letter to VWFS to register my interest. I am not convinced it will come to anything - but if you don't ask, you won't find out.


At lunchtime, despite the rain, I headed for school. Ellie needed to have her ear spray administered. After that was done I continued for a brief walk around the estate and the lake. It wasn't too far, but it was exercise. There were plenty of dog walkers sloshing through the puddles, but nobody else had ventured out.

The afternoon followed the familiar pattern of an hour or so with the Kindle before heading off to collect Ellie from school.

Ellie is staying with us overnight.
