Thank you so much ! I will do my best to give you clues that are understandable !

6. If you live economically, you ? and save. Change the cold tap to the hot and add a bit of soap.

27. Yes, starts with e - plus Spanish the. - plus, if you shop someone you ????? on them.

30. Anagram of 6th and 7th words. Not a singer !!

32. Think of a greedy sea bird and all will become clear - then treat yourself to a g&t !!!

Hope you can make sense of these ?

Thank you so much for your clues - extremely helpful and I have those four now. A couple of them I had thought of but not been able to explain the clue satisfactorily. e.g. No.6 - I had considered that word for 'small persons' and not followed the clue through. All clear now.

Also with 27. I had got as far as the first 3 letters but was stuck on shop being a shop and I had come across the answer but not seeing where the shop was. Does it come under the fish or other category?

Hope my clues were helpful to you.

Could I ask for some hints for

54 Compiler from down south. (6)
Realise it refers to the quiz compiler but still confused

69. Propel to small delta near the shore. (7)
Assume not a fish and possibly ends "d"

Thanks

Sorry, haven't yet got No69

Spell the compiler's name slightly differently not with the number and look it up.

27. The word begins with g and is a type of weed !

Your clues were excellent thank you and I have them now except for 86 - can't find an anagram !

I did have the answer Polly but because of the fish part, I was just querying which category it would go in but as the whole answer is the plant, it obviously goes in 'other'.

86. Not much of an anagram and, funnily enough, end part is same as beginning of 27.

Sorry I haven't got 69 yet !

I think, lady bee , I must have a completely different answer from you for 54 !
I have gone for the fact that the compiler is a type of winged creature and I have gone for a southern variety !

Am I making any sense at all !??

Not following your answer Polly. Mine begins with a G - maybe I was being too simplistic with it.
