Have you got them all yet?

You're going to have to give us a clue with number five! We've worked out the other four but can't think what the last one might be.
Generous to a fault, Mr Gnome feels inclined to let you puzzle just a wee bit longer - your delight when you 'get it' will be all the greater.
: - )
Having slept on it, the penny has dropped and we have now worked it out! It was less of a Eureka! and more of a "awwwww" that would usually accompany a bad joke!
Well, done! Good for you.
And how discrete of you not to reveal the answers to the blogosphere!
Hurrah!
