Morning, dizoz! (or whatever time it is over there)

As nobody else has replied to your plea, here's all I've done so far.

I started by writing out all the possible letters and trying to make words from them. When I got 'crossword(s)' for the first word, I got all excited, but that didn't make sense with the clues. Now I think the first word is a number, and the next one is guessable knowing that. Haven't got the rest of it yet - only looked at it over breakfast and must now get down to some work.

Hope that helps.

Hi dizoz - I did what Livs did and got the sentence quite quickly - hints given so far correct and the last two words are again a number with a direction following. Hope this helps! PS I've only just started this and am really struggling - but having the sentence has helped no end so far.

I didn't even try to get the sentence early on. I got about half of the answers first then wrote the letters I had in a string and the sentence all but leapt out.

Give some clues that you need help with.
Have you got 12a - that one is the "key"

hi scarlett,
12a -Row when aboard ship in nautical operations (
(3,7). nautical is redundant, I think.

sex changes

so you need to change the F(female) to M (male) or vice versa in 10 of your answers .
1st letter of 14a/14d will count as 2 of the changes
