It is sweet and fitting to go to the Somme leaving Meg behind (9)

Inviting host? Moot point maybe (9)

Yummy mummy's too distraught (having ditched her Romeo) (9)

Thanks to everyone who contributed such good entries. This week there were 31 clues from 14 different setters.
As equal runners up I have skyewalker @12, BBM2 @ 17 and FJ @25.

The winner is a late entry from therogue @43. I'm not normally keen on ghost anagrams, but I think this one would be solvable and I like the surface.

Yummy mummy's too distraught (having ditched her Romeo)

Congratulations, therogue! Your prize is about a different sort of canine and may only appeal to dog owners.

Please let me know if the link works, as there was a problem with the last one I posted.

Cheers

congrats rogue. I can't get anywhere with it myself but the night is young!

Congrats therogue and thanks mattrom - the video works, but it's a bit weird!

Could you parse the clue please? I thought it was some sort of subtractive anagram, but I just can't make it work.

Well done TR and thanks Mattrom. I,like Chris, would appreciate a parse!

Hi Chris, I see it as

Yummy mummy's too distraught (having ditched her Romeo)

Yummy = definition
An anagram of "mummy's" = mother's + too, minus R for Romeo

Thanks mattrom

Mother's too - R anag
Took me a while even knowing the answer!
Thanks Mattrom
Congrats Therogue. I look forward to the challenge next week
