Help with these last two please.
44 Bleats? could be if the shepherds are here (5)
49 Youngster has taken a strategy to get to Father Christmas (7)

[mallyh]

49 Lapland ........plan in lad

[Captain2]

49 La-plan-d

[mallyh]

44 seen as cribs

[Rosieandjim]

44 stable, anagram of bleats

[Birdfeeder]

thank you rosieandjim, unfortunately the answer only has 5 letters so that rules stable out, I thought it must be that until i realised there were too many letters

[mallyh]

can't find the post but it said crib is another word for bleat

[Birdfeeder]

thanks mallyh but I already have crib as the answer to another clue, also I suppose it would have to be cribs to make it 5 letters

[mallyh]

is that question about steal a bed ....I suggested sack ..to steal and also a slang term for bed (santa uses a sack for toys)

[Rosieandjim]

Oops I can't count..... but it seems such an apt answer that I wonder if the letter count may be wrong.

I've checked with the setter and it's definitely only five letters.
He said it's a bit of a double bluff.//

Have you any suggestions scorpiojo ? I need this answer as well .Thanks .

[scorpiojo]

I haven't, Jim, sorry :((

// I already have crib as the answer to another clue//
It's been suggested that the answer is 'cribs' which is the double bluff

Thanks scorpiojo and elliemay 1
