All fairly straightforward today (I think!) Completed but I can only find one very obscure word that fits the crossers for 13a and, if that is indeed the answer, I've no idea how to parse it. I've checked all the down crossing clues and think I have them all correct but anyone else having a similar problem with this clue?

Anagram "rot" inside a word for "run" (as in a firm)

Ahhh! Thanks, chrise. In smugly rushing through it, I'd put the wrong letter at the end of 4d. Have a good weekend!

Despite your help I'm still struggling to see 13a "Run, absorbing dreadful rot into female body" (9)
I've got M?T?O?E?A but no matches in Quick Solve

Any further help much appreciated

I'm not doing this crossword - but it looks as if your E and A need to swap places!

Your e and a are the wrong way round

Zozozo, great minds...

Thanks malone and zozozo; I''d realised I'd put an E instead of an A at the end of 4d but carelessly made the change to 5d by mistake

All now clear

I also initially put e instead of a as the last letter of 4d :)

So did I!
