A link here to answer fom Mike B

Thanks Mike. I will get to work. (I am not very experienced at cryptic clues, but am trying to learn)

In case link doesn't work Mike B said
"LOOFAHS ('fool'backwards + anagram of 'has')"

clue 2 might be Postern (job)post,(Egyptian)e,(Navy)Royal Navy.
Tho I think it would be more likely to be found in a Castle than a House.

Many thanks for your help Trevor. I am really struggling

I think the second half of clue 3 could be Knight - Jac(K) finally.At end of day - night. But I can't get any further than that.

Gingerhendry Trevor Not sure why but the first part of 3 could be \"carpet\"

Carpet Knight: a knight who spends his time in luxury and idleness (knighted on the carpet at court rather than on the field of battle)
It all fits except I cant find any reference to something found in a House.

Thanks MD and Trevor, between you I think you have it. Carpet Knight, and Carpet being the part connected with the house. Good 'un x x
