Thanks for these 2 answers -- I can't believe I missed 2 anagrams ! Still scratching head over other clues but pushing on...

Resurrection... Up Against It
Hiardresser ...Brilliantine
Weak yen... Silly Billy
I'm heading out, so this is a v cursory post. Sorry!

Sorry, last one was wrong - should have looked at my paper. The answer was/is Wishy Washy

Nothing wishy-washy about you Chips... Thanks for the answers, I will now try figure them out ! Have a good night .

Resurrected small bird in a tight spot-
Up again(resurrected) s(small)tit(bit) becomes 'Up against it'
Hairdresser bad in ship, not good-
Brigantine is the ship, take out the 'g'('not good'), insert 'ill'(bad).

It's too late for my brain- the typing's gone haywire. In my last post, 'tit'='bird', not 'bit'. Sorry.

I got it ! Thanks again Chips and y'all.
