10a "It will burn you if you're not careful child," you say (3) - S?N

I think it must be 'Son' or 'Sin', but which and why?

24a Got engaged a long time ago (8,4,5) - P?I?H??? O?E? T?O?H

I think one or more letters may be wrong here.

30a Say you'll see? (7) - OBSERVE

Why 'Say'?

23d Pressing on with the removal of the upstairs furniture (7,4) - ???R?N? DOWN

The 2nd letter of this is the 7th letter of 24a

10 Sun - it'll burn you and it sounds like 'on', child, you say.

24 Plighted Ones Troth - old fashioned term for getting engaged.

30 Observe means to say, comment as well as 'see'.

Thanks Rusty, thanks Malone. I think the last one could be 'Bearing Down', but can't see the 'Furniture' reference - any thoughts?

I thought of 'Bearing Down' too, but I don't get the 'furniture' bit.

Bedding Down looks good if the R is wrong it's from:-

Table turning showing a rise (4) - I've put ROTA (A Tor Reversed)
