Almost solved each clue in order but not quite, 9d and 17a held out for a couple of reasons, so not technically a write-in but close.

I was exactly the same, Jono! It would have been only my second ever complete write-in, in order, except that I was held up by 14d and 17a. So I guess we have to conclude that this was on the easy side.

Possibly the easiest Everyman I remember. The Guardian’s Quiptic today is much tougher.

Thanks Jono.
A write-in except for 13a and 9d. I’d never heard of 9d. (Perhaps it’s the subject matter- I’m vegan so don’t do anything with salmon in my home).
After a bit of head scratching with my partner, it was completed without writing anything down. Is that the definition of a write- in or does head- scratching disqualify me?

All done apart from 9d....Just can't see any potential word that fits. Put it down and have a look later.

Nicola @ 8 Re write-ins: I reckon head scratching is fine as long as the answer is entered before moving on to a later clue (and thereby getting an extra crosser). E.g. I needed to fill in 19d to get 17a, so no write-in.
