0.45p mileage is what I claim from my current employer btw every month via my timesheet

You should think about re-engaging your old accountant.

At the start of this thread you were self employed.

Now you're an employee.  

No wonder HMRC were confused 😳

Sorry. What should I call the company I work for? It’s my employer at present as I am doing work for them

They're your 'customer' or 'client' then....

I would doubt that. I agree with a previous poster who suggested that the op is not self-employed as it appears that he receives income from one source only and who he appears to regard as his employer. His accountant should be advising accordingly.

OP refers to invoicing for the work but it is true that it may be seen by HMRC as an employer/employee relationship in terms of IR35 - OP also dispensed with their accountant, perhaps hastily....

Yes - I know - no negative connotation on your post was intended.

Looks like £313 for home working, Telephone £312, Motor expenses £798 (where would that have come from?) and his own bill of £714.

I see the £312 is £6 per week x 52 weeks for the home working allowance but how have they worked out the Motor expenses?  I own my car and tax and insure it but do get 0.45p per mile for every business mile I do.  

Since he used the flat rate for working from home he may have used the flat rate for motor expenses as well. If he did you need to continue to use that as long as you are claiming for the same vehicle. 

It really sounds as if you need to go back to your accountant for information or to complete the return for you.
