Crusader Tuesday

[mazie]

Stuck on the last one and can't see where I've gone wrong! Help would be much appreciated.

26a payment reportedly for occasional relaxation (10)

r?m?t?e?c?e

22 and 23d could be incorrect, that would change the r and m

(I know I'm going to kick myself!)

[squarebear]

looks like remittance but i don't see the word play

[grasscarp]

remittance

[mazie]

hi guys I thought the same but It wont marry up with 16d.

16d Name and notes on seating plan (9) I had

d?s?g?a?? I have put designate which I felt fitted the clue. If remittance is correct then I'm looking for a word that ends in A for 16d and I can't find one!!!

[Oldred]

remittence ? (although that would make the c incorrect)
sounds like remittance

[Oldred]

c could be OK - just realised you have 11 letters shown

[squarebear]

yes it's remittence which will marry up with designate

[mazie]

Sorry Oldred...correct, i've looked at this blasted thing for so long...I put and e on the end that isn't there !!!

[mazie]

I cant find remittence in chambers on-line, so excluded it

[squarebear]

seems a valid word:

[mazie]

Perfect squarebear and fits the clue well. Thanks also grasscarp and Oldred...

[squarebear]

I guess in the world of cryptics the word "reportedly" means sounds like", so it sounds like remittance which is a payment.

[mazie]

yep, and for some reason....I didnt even think of remittence for this one....should have done though! hope I'm on better form this friday ;o)
