It is/was a real killer this one wasn't it !! 9a is overcome ... brilliant clue I think (come over the wrong way round) will try and remember the other two ...

You're a gem, thank you

11a is peccadillo (wasn't it 10 letters??) pecc sounds like bite and its armadillo without the arm

You're right, sorry

Thanks a million, don't feel quite so bad about not being able to get them now I've seen the answers!
well it took me and my partner about one and a half days to solve it but I think it was one of the best crosswords I have seen for a long time. If you look back on here you will see I asked for justification of one of the answers as we just could not fathom out why it was the answer.
