No access to printer etc. so saving this for the end of the week when we return home.
Will have to spend next couple of days on the couch still -- what a shame --

Solved with a confirming nudge. Nice one!

Had all the right things just not in the right way. Couple that with a preformed opinion about what the solve would end up being (a wrong presumption I might add) and I went round and round until finally, with a healthy nudge back onto the straight and narrow, I arrived at the answer. Not yet confirmed but quite sure.
Good puzzle with some nice twists.

I believe I'm off the couch. I thought I might have found the right path to the solution last night and that first nudge provided confirmation. Figured out the meta answer a few minutes later; just waiting to hear back from Chris. Another great MMM! Thanks!

Planned to get off the couch earlier and a friendly nudge corrected an error on my part. Thanks Chris!

Off the couch. I know I'm late arriving, but I didn't open the spoilers. Honest. I got distracted by mistake I made in my first pass through the entries and didn't see what was going on till today.
Nice idea for a meta.

Helped off the couch by the gracious DrTom. I enjoyed the grid and clueing. Thanks, Chris, for entertaining us.

Off the couch after Chris corrected my one wrong, you know - the thing.
I think I would be helped with a spreadsheet on one of these so I don't have to seek through things manually, but I do like solving on paper best.
