Thank you so much Sir Joebloggs! I hope I can get away with the overcrowding issue. The master's bedroom is quite big and my youngest daughter actually sleeps with us on her crib (it's up to 4yrs old crib), the 2nd room is mid-sized with a double bed, but can accommodate 2 single beds for my eldest daughter and supposedly for my mum. The smallest one is used by my son. It has a bunk bed, the top one is not used...will I tell the Embassy of the house setup? Can I take pictures & email it to my mom? As you say, can I even just say she'll sleep in the living room with a sofa bed? I still haven't received the email from my solicitor re Independent Accommodation Report...I'm running out of time coz it's weekend. If I ask for an assessment for overcrowding, do I have to book a date?
