Use of phrase: "en fin de matinee"

I am just wondering about the phrase, "en fin de matinee." Would you translate this to mean: "late morning"; and is "en fin de" commonly used in similar expressions? ie. "en fin d'apres-midi"; "en fin de soiree", etc. I also notice that there the definite article is left out.

Merci par avance.

Le Conditionnel PasséIn the weekend workout for 29 January 2021 in the B1 translation there is a sentence ‘the things I would have done with that money’. I translated this as ‘les choses que j’aurais fait avec cet argent’ the best answer given is ‘les choses que j’aurai faites avec cet argent’. Why is aurai used as it’s not conditional and why is the past participle fait of faire not used.

Une liasse ou un paquet. What's the difference?

Salut ! C'est quoi la différence entre ces deux mots, "une liasse" et "un paquet" ? Is "une liasse" used for stacks of papers?
