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!)

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!!!
remittence ? (although that would make the c incorrect)
sounds like remittance
c could be OK - just realised you have 11 letters shown
yes it's remittence which will marry up with designate

Sorry Oldred...correct, i've looked at this blasted thing for so long...I put and e on the end that isn't there !!!
Question Author
I cant find remittence in chambers on-line, so excluded it
Question Author
Perfect squarebear and fits the clue well. Thanks also grasscarp and Oldred...
I guess in the world of cryptics the word "reportedly" means sounds like", so it sounds like remittance which is a payment.
Question Author
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)
