Belfast Telegraph Saturday Prize Crossword

[donegore]

Hope someone can help! I've just 3 clues left in the Belfast Telegraph prize crossword (Sat 17/7/10).
They are: 2 down - 'once sent out the whole lot to eat'. It's 7 letters and the ones I have are: _ O _ S _ S _

The next one is 5 down - 'prude's joke about a woman'. It's 7 letters and the ones I have are: _ U _ N _ A _

The final one is 18 down - 'I cut a dash with no problems or care'. Again 7 letters long and the ones I have are: _ A _ E _ O _


Many thanks

Prude is PURITAN (pun about Rita)

[donegore]

Thanks!

2d is CONSUME (anag of once outside sum)

Thank you again!

Due to 'Puritan' being the right answer to 5 down, it means now that my answer to 11 across is wrong. The clue is 'is accepting no charges' and the no of letters are 4. The (I hope!) right ones that I have are I _ NE. Again hope some of you clever people can help!

IONS probably (which are charges). It's IS accepting ON (even though the clue says no).

Thank you again - you are all brilliant!
