22a SNOWBALLS?

22a put your letters into the chambers word wizard - you will easily recognise the answer you need to fit your clue

i tried to give a hint rather than the direct answer!

Oops, sorry!

28a - Abbreviation for saint and a a word for about surrounding a term meaning to sanction will give you the answer. Shot in this case does not mean plugged with a bullet.

28a shot is the defn
usual 2 letter abbrev for saint + usual 2 letter abbrev for about with 2 letter synonym for sanction inside

2 Howler is definition

Word for a'monkey'not animal as such minus T

Many thanks for the hints! I have 22a and 28a, but 2d is still eluding me, and please add your HINTS for 9a as requested, thanks!

I think there were answers and hints on Answerbank.

9a - think fairy tales - remove the MM and insert T - defn bottle
