Thank you

Is it one 12 letter word?

[tonyav]

Before Noon.

[tonyav]

Forget that, it doesn't fit does it.

[factor-fiction]

I doubt BEFORE would be in the clue and the answer, tony

[tonyav]

No it wouldn't would it.

Might have something to do with "the nines" as in "dressed up to the nines"
Get up = outfit, dress

Beat the count

Is it one word, majuma?

[Psybbo]

Factor, well done

[frugalfred]

factor has it. Well done, ff!

[factor-fiction]

Thanks Psybbo. It was the 'beat the clock' suggestion on the duplicate "some help to you" thread that made me think of it

[factor-fiction]

It was the other FF (frugal fred) who came up with Beat The Clock

[factor-fiction]

Oh, you're here too, fred

[MAJUMA13]

Correct answer: beat the count. Thank you and well done.
