Pretty much out of sorts between affairs, getting restorative treatments (8)
I believe the answer is:
fillings
'restorative treatments' is the definition.
'pretty much out of sorts between affairs' is the wordplay.
'pretty much' means to remove the last letter.
'out of sorts' becomes 'ill' (I've seen this before).
'between' indicates putting letters inside.
'affairs' becomes 'flings'.
'ill' with its last letter removed is 'il'.
'il' placed within 'flings' is 'FILLINGS'.
'getting' is the link.
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
