So now the hard work and worry begins again!!!!

Well, I think you will be ok.
Your P60 shows you earned in the last year in excess of the income requirement - and overtime IS included. It doesn't matter that your base pay is less than this, because you did earn more.

Your children in a previous relationship doesn't affect your application either - only if you were sponsoring HER children. You aren't, so you can forget worrying about that.

Frankly, you seem to be in the clear

Overtime is included? This is where it gets confusing. As overtime is not guaranteed. Or thats what I thought.

i thought you wer,nt allowed to work on a student visa

Students were only allowed to officially work 20 hours paid as in a work experience under that visa.

Yeah i read on the ukba guidance notes for the officers that overtime bonus etc had to be taken into account

Still worried though because its early days of the new rules being introduced and you just cant be certain of anything
