Made up one's mind that was made up well (3,3)
I believe the answer is:
saw fit
'made up one's mind' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to thinking as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'was made up well' is the wordplay.
'made up' is an anagram indicator.
'well' becomes 'fit' (associated in meaning).
'was' is an anagram of 'saw'.
'saw'+'fit'='SAW FIT'
'that' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
