Hi Mag,

Thank you for that advice.  I told the carer that her extra offers were stepping over the
boundaries of what I felt comfortable with and she seemed okay with that.  I emailed the agency
that provides my carers and said that I wanted this particular carer replaced.  I will just have to
play nicely until they find someone new.
Cheers,

Jeremy
