First of all thanks to all that have helped on my previous question.

it is (I think) finished though I would welcome comment on :
16a Cul de sac's cut off and become lifeless (6)
?E?D?N
I have leaden but unsure exactly why ?

22a Winning with a fit girl on board (8)
A?O?A?L? Adorable but why winning ?

16 deaden A cul de sac is a deadend, but if you cut d off you get deaden = become lifeless.

22a able (fit) with dora (girl) inside (on board) ?

[ulysses100]

22a fit = able
girl = Dora
winning as in winning ways

[bookbinder]

One meaning of winning is charming/adorable/lovable. "Anna gave John a winning smile = an adorable smile." "He loved her winning ways = he loved her adorable ways."

Many thanks to Bookbinder, Chelle72 and Ulysses 100. My wife also came up with deaden and I hope that my entry is adorable and gets a prize !
