Put off because holiday has finished? (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
leave over
'put off because' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'holiday has finished?' is the wordplay.
'holiday' becomes 'leave' (I've seen this before).
'has' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'finished?' becomes 'over' (over can mean finished or ended).
'leave'+'over'='LEAVE OVER'
