Thank you both. I thought of that but I couldn't see the relevance of "blue" in the clue - squander is blow, not blue!

Blue sounds like (representation) BLEW - but that would suggest squanderED. Does it definitely say blue? Bloe?

Chambers does have an entry for Blue - 'blue...to squander'.

it's also in Collins:

[i]to spend extravagantly or wastefully; squander[i]
