I do tell a small lie....I'm only getting £100 (120 Euros approx.) for the vehicle itself but I've worked out that by cancelling my insurance I'll save £2700 this year, plus my insurance company will owe me roughly £350 of my current premium back as well. Add that to all the money I'll save on petrol and things are looking good for my bank account.
This is especially good news as I'll be getting the train to work from now on, which means listening to lots of Dutch audio files whilst travelling, on my nice new MP3 player:
It's also good news as sadly, it looks like Rosetta Stone aren't selling the different levels individually anymore on their website, only 1-3 as a complete set. Not great when I've already got level 1 and don't want to buy it again just to get levels 2 and 3. Luckily, Amazon still sell the individual levels so I should be fine, although I don't get the money-back guarantee unless I buy from RS directly. Oh well, c'est la vie (still don't know the Dutch equivalent so the French wil have to do here!).
As for the language learning, it's still coming along. I now know how to talk about times of the day and how to speak to Dutch shopkeepers, which will be very useful when I get around to visiting the Netherlands and Belgium soon (another advantage of no longer having a car!).
Now, that reminds me....time to do some travel browsing and get myself a holiday booked! Until next time, faithful readers.
Tot ziens!
