24d Slush? (feature of a thaw and a slush fund)
I have MAWMET and SPOSH.

However, for the first time ever I have one wrong. I cannot know, of course, whether either of these is the culprit. Good luck!
5a maumet=a false god
24d agree with captain=slush
I think mawmet is correct - maw is the mouth or gullet of a greedy person (hog) + met (touched) mawmet is a puppet (idol)
Agree with Gangesboy
The explanation by Gangesboy is exaxctly how I arrived at my answer.

For 24 down the middle letter is 'O' and so cannot be slush. SPOSH is slush (American) - S (society) + POSH (wealthy).

I still wonder where my one error is!

Thank you all
I went with mawmet and sposh and was all correct on submission so ThePost - your mistake must be elsewhere...
