I read your first post and didn't get round to replying. Glad you get at least some insurance back, even though it doesn't help you get back the stuff that was on the laptop. I am with the others about any files you want. Nottingham is a bit far away, unfortunately I no longer have any contacts there to help you, but do know someone down this end of the country(SE) that is in the IT business and maybe could help you with a 2nd user laptop, at reasonable price. He does all my teccy stuff,so knows the sort of specs we need for Bryce etc. I will have a word with him if you like. How we would get it to you is another matter, but I am sure something could be worked out.

The greatest part of wisdom is learning to develop  the ineffable genius of extracting the "neither here nor there" out of any situation...."
