Stuck on one corner, hope someone can give me a leg up.
2d: Job for painter inside 8 (8, 10) 8 is "award" and the answer seems to be "INTERIOR DECORATING" but I can't see what award has to do with it.
That sticks me on some others if it is wrong. Can we try 39a: Spreading scandal, excited at telling it three times (6-8) All I have is **T in the first word.
Help!

decoration rather than decorating, i think

Hi Despard

Thanks chrise. That mistake cleared up everything. Was that an assessment of me, thea?
