24dwn "United at home, supported by everone initially (2,3)... we think it's "in one" but can't see why ......and
20dwn "Bloomer over getting child in free" (6) ... Orchid fits but confusion again...

Any helpers please?

[Psybbo]

at one

[ubasses]

O(ver) with CH(ild) inside rid (free)

Thanks very much .... can see how "Orchid" works but still have problems with 24dwn as the "i" ("in one" )comes from 23across "Swing he composed, with bit of ragtime thrown in ?" (8) and our answer is "Gershwin"

[factor-fiction]

Is it not AS one?

[HowardKennitby]

in all - if you are sure of the 'I'

[shoota]

In (at home) all (everyone)?

[Lie-in King]

With apologies to sibton -

In one (united) - 'in' (at home) + 'on' (supported by) +e(veryone) (initially)

[factor-fiction]

in all is better

[bibblebub]

at home = IN
supported by = ON
everyone initially = E

[factor-fiction]

Sorry- in one (I assume the intially means first letter of everyone)

[cross-stitcher]

No sorry ... just can't seem to fit it in ...I'll just have to wait and check the answers tomorrow and see where I've gone wrong ....but thanks a lot to you all for your help!!

[Psybbo]

Yes, please ignore at one, I meant as one and please award one of the other
So sorry to lead you astray, better answers above

[shoota]

What letters have you already got placed Cross?

[cross-stitcher]

The letters I've already got for 24 dwn (2,3) are " i? o?e " Perhaps it's just me but I've never heard of "in one" meaning "united" ......?????

Seems the most likely although I agree with you
