7d A complete change
A/ - L - A - / S - E - -
I've got A CLEAN SHEET

31d Less than paid for

I did have SHORT CHANGED but that's not right as the second letter is now E

Well, this has brought me down a peg or three! Having had a few weeks where I have been able, sometimes with one heck of an effort, to solve the puzzle (see earlier thank you notes to those who helped me develop) I just can't get into this setter's brain. I HAVE solved some, really quite clever, clues but I still have a vast area of unsolved lights! Ah well, struggle on!

Good cure for hubris!
