A quick definition of mansus:

Term: MANSUS

Definition: Mansus is a historical term that refers to a piece of land that is big enough to support one family or can be worked by a pair of oxen for a year. It can also mean a house without land or a minister's dwelling in Scotland.

A more thorough explanation:

A mansus is a portion of land that is large enough to maintain one family for a year. It is also known as a manse and can refer to a house without land or a minister's dwelling in Scotland.

A farmer may own a mansus of land that is sufficient to grow crops and raise livestock to support their family.
In some cases, a manse may refer to a house that is provided to a minister by their church or congregation.

These examples illustrate how a mansus can refer to both a piece of land and a type of dwelling. It is a historical term that was commonly used in medieval times to describe the amount of land needed to support a family.

@mastermonkey45: Looking at some of the recent decisions in relation to when they went complete, I'd say it's a good sign. It seems many declines were sent within about 5-6 weeks of completion. Given those were applications that were SENT in January, I'd say that means you're still solidly in the running. :)
