Hi Trance, I've never posted before, but I had a visit from family fund last week, it was great, house was a tip (no change there), but the lady was fantastic, I was going for driving lessons, and she didn't think it was a problem, she was also giving me suggestions of other things i may be able to get.
She also gave me a few contact numbers of agency close by, for help with things like getting fencing sorted in the garden. I hope it all goes well for you, I'm sure it will.
