Financially not good, but as long as I remember to think in pounds not dollars it's not so much of a disaster in the scheme of things. It's little consolation to be told that the car could sell for $4500 in September but now $1800 is a good offer!

And I've put a car on the road in better condition than it was before - does that count as doing my bit for the environment in a bizarre sort of way?!

Will now try to relax a bit.
