Thanks Mattrom! The search goes on 🙂

I'm with the other 'losers' on this one, finished crossword early on Saturday, but still no idea on the final shape.
'Guess what I'm thinking' is a very apt phrase for this one, despite all the hints.
It's a shame Charybdis didn't want more people to enjoy finishing it. Not to mention getting votes in end of year round-up!

I think I’ve got the shape. It wasn’t very satisfying though, and far from easy to find. I may still be proved wrong.

Thank you mattrom. If there are 5 instances of the first letter in the grid then I’ve gone wrong earlier than I thought.
Time to give up.

Correction. I have 5 instances of that but I was ignoring the one in a 2 word thematic phrase.
