Icesave or Icelose?

So, what a year! We move to Malawi with all our belongings, renting our house in London to a banker. It doesn't take long for me to fall off Malosa Mountain and break my jaw, necessitating maxillo-facial surgery in the UK. While I am away, a pub/nightclub opens in the house next door in Blantyre, causing Sarah sleepless nights and untold stress. I then find a lump in my groin and another in my neck, am advised by our caring doctor friends in Malawi that I should see their man at The Royal Marsden in London. Totally unexpectedly (by Sarah and I, anyway!!) I am diagnosed with lymphoma, a cancer of the lymphatic (immune) system. Oh well, at least it's a slow forming cancer at the moment and I feel 100%!! Now, it seems that our life's savings, carefully invested in an Icelandic bank, are no more!! You've got to laugh.............
