Not having a good week - usually sail through it, so any help would be appreciated

7a Conquer queen with kiss (5) ???E?
21d Spent recklessly when depressed,say (4) B?E?
24a About to leave refuge for special surprise (5) ?R?A> Could it be TREAT? If so, why?
Many thanks
Paul

Think 21d will be BLEW

..and could 7ac be ANNEX? (Queen Anne + X for kiss)

Refuge = retreat. About = 're'. Take that away and you're left with 'treat'

refuge=retreat. about=re. leave out re = treat.

Thanks everyone
