Constructor's Note
Still haven't given up the ghost
I can't take credit for the grid, but even the person who gave me this grid wouldn't want to be associated with any of the clues I've written for it.

Remember to scroll down to start :)

1A Def Present Wordplay Toady (creep), change ad (notice) to da (lawyer)
6A Def Damaged Wordplay To (too disheartened) in front of 're' (regiment)
7A Def Obscures Wordplay A bit of a soft D-def :/
8A Def Mature Wordplay Remove top of sage
9A Def Oscar Wordplay Anagram of yeomen without 'E' (Earl)
2D Def Southern region Wordplay OO (old love) around tag (stub)
3D Def A lot Wordplay N (knight) after doze (sleep)
4D Def Metric measurement Wordplay reversal of era
5D Def All right Wordplay Right-hand-letters
7D Def Excessively theatrical Wordplay Hidden in newish amateur

    Oo this one was tricky for me! Can you explain ARE a bit more for me? How is that a metric measurement?

      Are is an old measurement , 100m2. Same base measurement as hectare, but it's pretty obsolete now, and a reversal of era.
