I'm in a similar situation to Slip. I may have forgotten to mention I came back from Phils in early May with a Plan to come out of retirement in order to meet the financial requirements for a visa application. I was lucky enough to find a job with a minimum of 10 hours per week. Since that time, the minimum I've done is 20+; the first month was 85 hours, and this month I'm on target to do well over 100 hours, so that will meet the financial requirement plus some. , I do try to look in here most days, but honestly don't have much time, what with the job and chatting with Jan, it's difficult, but I hope everyone on here is keeping well.
