Excellent Les, been looking at that for hours!

I think most people would say "reading material" nowadays but reading matter has the Chambers entry.

Cheers ixion and andyc

I think I have the other one but need help with the pasre of part of it

ORIEL

It has OIL spooning with the letters RE, but can't see yet where RE comes from
I'm looking for a word for shopping, and trying to subtract a word for WET BLANKET to leave me with RE

Shopping could be GRASSING or SINGING as in to shop someone to the law

Come on guys, give me some help

That's meant to say parse.

By the way ixion, very romantic of you to have the letters spooning if I'm correct, but a great use of the wordplay there

retailer or something similar,les?

Could be Chris, I was just toying with 'Supermarket sweep' (Shopping) without sup market sweep (wet-sup?)& (blanket-sweep)leaving the RE

Sorry guys not oriel, neglected to mention earlier that the answers are in alphabetical order, "window" is used in a very specific sense which is found in Chambers 11th Ed.

Pity - I loved the "spooning letters" too!

I did too Chris, I may have to use that method of containing in future

...as a further hint, you need to remove a word meaning "wet" as opposed to "wet blanket" - "blanket" describes how the word to be removed is positioned!
