Am really struggling today. Entire top left corner seems to be beyond me. Grateful for any help.

1a (8) 'Spy absorbing info becomes mournful'.
9a (8) 'Awfully mad fellow, wife's off with former lover'.
11a (8) 'Going to keep head chef stirring?'

Don't have any letters for any of the above.

12a(6) 'Day with very central firm is a plus'. I've got -i-t-e.

1d (6) 'Shown hot place, pair go ahead'.
2d (6) 'Snatch tube covered with tar'.
3d (6) 'Ice cream upset member at ball'.
4d (10) 'Without old minutes, state proposal'. I've got _ _ _ _ _ _ t_ i_.

All suggestions welcome. Cheers.

2d (6) 'Snatch tube covered with tar'.
AB (sailore- tart) + duct (tube) = "abduct" - snatch

Those two got me moving again, so now I only need 1d (6) 'Shown hot place, pair go ahead' and I've got p-o-e-.
