thanks Rob, here is what I think !
Thats bad luck about your job finishing, however, all is not lost, you are in fact working, you need to demonstrate that you can support your wife/fiancee without recourse to public funds.
Suggest you not overdraw on your bank account, keep it in the red, then I suggest you prepare a budget statement of your income and expenses, also show in your budget statement, that you are living with your parents, and that you have no housing costs, then I suggest you obtain a letter from your parents addresed to the Entry Clearance officer stating that they consent to your WAG being accomodated in their house, and that a room is available for you both to share.
Your budget statement, showing your income and expenses, provided it means you are not living beyond your means, will be enough to convince the ECO that you can take care of your WAG.
In your budget statement show any savings you have, however you cannot count the applicants savings, those would only be relevant for a tourist visa, suggest in the meantime you use your current payslips, from your previous job, you could say, at the present time, that you are on leave from your employment, if as you say, you need a month off to get married, you might consider that you are dressing up your situation to look better than it is...its not rocket science, so do your best at that.
It sounds to me as if you are living with parents, and have no housing costs, you are pretty lucky, most are not that lucky, you are saving a fortune bynot having any.
You cannot rely on future job offers for your WAG as they cannot be taken into consideration, good bank statements are ones which do not show the sponsor being overdrawn.
The British Embassy does not investigate your employment in UK, they do not have the facility anymore to do this, they are totally reliant on the documentary evidence you supply, however, I would supply them with your last 6 months pay statements, and or salary credits, and last 6 months bank statements, this along with your budget statement of income and expenditure, will go along way to proving that you can support your WAG.
On top of that, a nice covering letter from yourself, giving a complete overview of your relationship, how you met, what your plans are for the future i.e. live together as man and wife, and your ability to support your WAG, will help.
Don't be desperate, if you need further reading, UKVACS is useless, go to my website at

that should help you.
Best wishes
