Borrowing money/Nationwide calculators

Me and my partner have been saving with Nationwide's Save to Buy for the past year and are now getting close to wanting to buy a property. We have for the past year been using the Nationwide ''How much can you borrow'' calculator and it seems it has now changed in terms of what we can borrow. Before we did my salary which is fixed at (£25,000 py) and my partners salary which is temporary at (£28,000). Nationwide said we could borrow up to £100,000 not including the deposit, this was down to the fact my partners salary is temporary. I have now done the calculators again and it saying they would lend us £250,000. I can't understand why such a big jump in just 4 months of doing the calculators. Can anyone shed any light on this?
Also it used to ask how long have you been with the employer, it now ask how long have you been in regular employment.
