good luck this afternoon. My or is a lady & she is lovely, she has a sense of humour aswell!!! I had my 19 month old daughter when i had my phone interview & she said if i needed to put the phone down to feed her or anything than it was ok.
With regards to soa, we are a family of 7 so i had put down £800 for food & £100 travel costs as we dont have a car & she never even mentioned them!!
I had also put down £108 a month activities for kids (as advised on here) she said that was high & asked what they were & how much they all cost!!! Felt really horrible but i had to make up some things!!! She said she would have to reduce it as it was quite high, could only have £102!!!! No Christmas or Holiday fund allowed either, but we were still under for an IPA.

A family of 7 and yet nothing for presents or holidays .... I think that is a bit harsh unless there are places in your SOA that give you room for manouevre.
I think it is one of the problems of being single in this situation - everything is x 1 on the SOA and therefore at minimum levels.
I am making myself worried now.... got to stop :rolleyes:

I was the same before my OR interview, I think it's one of those things where the anticipation is far worse than the actual event, although I'm sure you won't feel like that now. Try not to fill in any pauses in the conversation as it just means they are making notes, I waffled for England when I was being interviewed!

A real bummer about OH's interview, I get he was all psyched up. Hope the new appointment isn't too far off.

Good luck to you this afternoon. We're all thinking of you.
