Clue of the week
Maiden cheated? That's by no means rare! (8) O???????
Puzzling out this clue is just distracting me from the waffle about shaded squares- can anyone explain more simply? Pleeease!

Hi Itaddy...not had my copy this week, due to postal strike probably, so can't help with grid query.
But I think Clue of the week could be Overdone?

Of course! So obvious when you know. I think I've worked out the other bit- hope your week turns up on monday- ours came late, today.
