    There's no way it's going to be revised up, the only issue is whether it's revised down a tiny bit or a lot. Fingers crossed it's a lot!

    Divorcing, unclear on final debt total right now, but focusing on building a financial buffer zone.

    Hummmm we had some concerns about whether our Zone A was bigger than they thought. Although Zone B definitely is smaller than they thought. But unfortunately the cost per square metre is a lot higher in zone A hence my trepidation. You know when you just think why did I put my hand up in the first place? Let's see.

    Fingers crossed for you Bob, I can't imagine it would be a negative thing if they've revised it though. Hope it's amazing-next-to-nought-to-pay-revised for you :)

    Thank you

    Couldn't be revised up. Must be down. Don't worry.

    Thanks

    Bob, as regards another job have you considered mystery shopping? I do it now and again to top up my income. Its not easy money by any means but it is very flexible and you can fit it in around other things.

    Thanks very much for the suggestion. Do you have any recommendations for which agencies to register with?
