Only if you set up the thread in the first place. But then you get emails every time anyone posts which can be a lot!

Thank you bowergirl for 21d, that's actually quite neat. I feel dumb now for missing it!

This one is like walking through treacle. I have about 7.5 answers. Re 21d: There's only one desert that fits (wiki), in which case I can make no sense of the cryptic, 2,2.

40 mins yesterday, I'll give it another 20mins today

Fernie. Treacle wading exactly. But, hate seeing people suffer! Even after another day and a new week. 21d the desert is in central Asia, the parsing is 2,2 with the second word rhyming with my not me. Opting for more potential love interest?

20a annoys me as its known more for the drink than the sauce surely.

I think is the required reference in Chambers…

sauce /sös/ noun
9. (with the) alcoholic drink (US inf)

I think I've managed to solve all but one clue: 15A.

The letters are G _ E _ G _ D — if my other answers are right.

Can someone please offer a very light hint?

The first letter is not a G. Check your crossing entry.

Check your answer to 13d.
The first G is wrong.

13d is a straight anagram, should give you first letter of 15a.
