    I've made a few comments but it all looks fine. I would up the housekeeping to £400 that way it'll balance out the few things that might not be allowed.

  • Thanks for reading hun, i been in touch with cruse and was supposed to gone to see them 4 weeks ago. Christmas was so difficult and when it came to it i couldnt face going. I have never been offered a home visit tho and i think i would prefer that to anything else. i kno i really need to talk to someone but i cant seem to pluck up the guts to go, opening a can of worms comes to mind, im scared i will finally fall apart, thanks for caring enough to ask.
