One of the three letter words needs to be paired with another word as per the preamble before inserting in the grid

Thanks, yes, that was the conclusion I came to. I can put H(7) with I(3) which solves my problem. Presumably it goes in as a ten-letter answer.

Yes - that's my understanding. I'm just starting to fill in the grid

Me too. Thanks.

Crikey! This one's difficult (for me, anyway) to enter into the grid. I've got probably about 75% of the solutions and many/most of the 2 themed groups but seem to be so few places where one can enter solutions with confidence. I've got so many places in the grid where I'm thinking 'well, it could be that, or it could be that, or, wait a minute, it could also be that....'

Probably time to put it down and come back to it tomorrow.

Hi Simond9x
I've only got half and have only just understood the significance of putting two groups together for four clues. At least I've got the themes.

I started filling in the grid because we know where the M answers and probably the W answers too. Or have I missed something?

But like you it's time to put it aside and start again tomorrow.

A new day, a new dawn! Looked at the grid, thought 'sod it!' and just wrote the 10 letter 'A' solution where I thought it could possibly go (a lucky guess really) and the rest just flowed. I was able to write in all my completed solutions and have now nearly finished. Guests arriving shortly so the rest will have to wait. Have a great weekend all.

Any help with 10 letter A. Got most of the other clues but this one has me stumped.

Something girls wear round their heads.

Guests arriving any moment. Have finished apart from the second 'J' clue, for which I have all the crossing letters but can't find a word that fits the wordplay. I also can't parse the second 'D' clue. Any subtle hints please? Thanks.
