Two answers overlap. The overlapped portion is not clued, but the definitions to two answers are provided.

Thanks ProfessorM.
Halfway done.

[ProfessorMaisie]

I enjoyed this one hankir, it makes a nice change!

[hankir]

Any hints on 10a and 14a welcome, ProfessorM

[hankir]

Just got 10a.
Answer to 11d is an anagram but the word does not make sense.

[hankir]

All done.

What threw me off is that sometimes the re is only 1 letter defined. Rest are in "collision".

[ProfessorMaisie]

10 - first is a 5 letter word beginning B (about money) then medical term 6 letters (beginning A)
14 - obvious 5 letters for savour (T...) the next word ends in Y

[ProfessorMaisie]

...sorry hankir - I was a bit late there.

[ProfessorMaisie]

...are you now happy with the past tense for 11dn hankir?

[hankir]

Thanks ProfessorM.
As soon as posted, I saw that wordplay was for one letter in each.
Yes, it was a change of pace.
Difficulty level went up but very doable.

Now to write a clue. Not easy.

[ProfessorMaisie]

...never easy writing the clue - I never do!
