Write down exactly what happened for your own records as through you were telling someone else.
Take photos of all the damage to you today
Take more photos in a few days time, as damage will look different
Start a running total for every single penny this whole episode costs
Start a diary with every call and letter recorded
Other will no doubt add more things, but get them started now

Glad you are well enough to swear a lot.
Sorry about the bike, and the injuries.

Go with what Brains said, plus, keep a pain diary, record how you feel, what medications you're taking, any lost sleep, and normal activities you either can't do or find difficult.
Check also what the local constabulary's guidelines are on prosecution, when I was hit the driver wasn't charged despite it being explicit on Leics Police website that prosecution is advised in any case where the victim is hospitalised overnight. I know you were not kept in, but be careful that they don't let it slip.
Oh, and, get well soon.

Get well soon, roundabouts are always my biggest fear... it seems some drivers just look for cars not bikes

When you have used all the known ones, you can mix and match your own.
TW*NT being one of the more used ones.
Sorry to hear about your mishap.

Good news.
Got a letter from my lawyers; "The Defendants have accepted liability for your accident".
The cash for the bike should come fairly soon. My shopping list is ready and waiting. Buy some Campag shares everyone......................

Half of them don't even look for cars...
On the bike, when a someone walked or pulled out in front of me, I used to mutter "Bet you wouldn't do that if I was driving a bus". When I was driving a big van (converted from an ex-school bus in fact), I found that the answer was in fact, yes, they would.....
Anyway, good news SB, happy bike shopping.

Good news! 
But, as said, do make sure you are fit and well again after all this.

Her insurers have settled the claim for the bike at last. I got 85pc of my claim, which means I am still out of pocket, but I have ways of redressing some of that.
Cheque due to arrive in a few days. CTC solicitor is the best and has done a good job so far. Now for the personal injuries bit.
Since getting the news, the credit card has taken a bashing getting some bits in. I may just be able to retire the hack bike for a while and get in some quality riding before the good weather disappears.
Shall I got to the Isle of Wight in September? That will mean some hard work getting fit.
Shopping list:
Cinelli Saetta Frame.
Campag Record/Chorus Groupset, incl Record Triple chainset.
Mavic Open-Pro on Chorus hubs, build them myself.
ITM Carbon 'bars stem.
Sella Italia Genuine Gel saddle, Cinelli seat pin.
New Look Keo ,pedals.

You've been given lots of great advice.
Hope you're ok and heal quickly and that everything works out well for you in the end.
