Off the couch, lounger or whatever. A well constructed puzzle! (Mr. G was consulted by this mature individual on Mr. Styles.)

Off the couch! I made a bad choice at one point which kept me on the couch for a bit longer than I needed to be.

Off the couch! Had 80% of it for a long time, finally realized I had missed one of the relevant items. Fun one!

Late start but off the couch! Excellent! I was traveling and too brain-dead yesterday to do metas.

Confirmed off the couch. Good one! And glad to make your acquaintance, Harry.
Well, not Harry, but Carrie. And here’s one of her better styles September 7, 2019

Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta!

What the......? Huh?
Nothing is *weirder* than when you just don't see something. It must be there but.... wow... don't see anything.

Just because it's intimidating, is no reason to be intimidated.

Took me what seemed a lifetime to connect. I thought I knew what to do, and kind of did but nothing clicked until it did. Fun puzzle and welcome Ben…that said I’m not sure I need a Tuesday Meta, that is usually my “rest and lick your wounds day”.
We are going to need more days!
So, off the incredibly tiny couch in this very tiny but charming rental and getting ready for an excursion in the city.

NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

I had an idea what this might be before I started it...helps to have a teenage daughter who owns a t-shirt with the name of this song on it.

I deduced that SHOUT was a way to pre-TREAT laundry, though I wondered if the product was sold in Australia. I’m happy to increase my small set of Aussie idioms.

No, I've never heard of that laundry product. But glad you were able to make your own way to the correct answer!
