I am very, very lucky.

My new car. It cost exactly the same as I was given by my insurance company for the written-off Corsa. Older but fewer miles on the clock and a bigger engine. Many people warned me off the rip-off of insurance companies and urged me to be combative with them in agreeing a payout, but my experience is actually pretty good.

Although I'm really not feeling like driving, it's good to have the option again.
