H?????A
2d. Tied house? (5.4)
T???? ?e??

2 Turks head

Hola! Happy looking up a lady.(7)

Hi (Hola) + happy up = glad- dalg +a = Hidalga - lady?

Thanks mamya & ab I shall check out Hidalga and maybe pop in Turks Head to recover from this tough xword.

Yes Hidalga is a spanish noblewoman and Turks head is a knot. Thanks again ab & mamya

Last one and totally stuck.
18a.Dodgy character taking up nurses' time and a lot of money (9)
S?A?A?N?R I think the letters are OK. The only word that fits is SEATAINER (satan as dodgy character) but no connection to the indicator. Without the 'N' Shamateur would fit.
Help

Sorry the letters are S?A?A?E?R
the answer coming down is Eucaine not Nucaine

Shamateur now fits but don't see cryptic

shamateur -

amahs - foreign name for nurses
t - time
eur - euros (money)?

Jazzgirl I don't know how you do it, unless you did nursing abroad at some time.!!!!Thank you. p
