After 2 weeks of sniffing the cooking sherry my brain is scrambled and I need help please.

4A excessive amount -L-C-O-A

11A turn from moral path D-R-A-E

17D not properly representative -T-M-C-L

[dzug]

aa1 might be deviate

[geo0939]

I think 4a should be PLETHORA.

17d - Atypical

[thikasabrik]

thanks for your help so far everyone. I now realise I've made a couple more mistakes. Atypical is obviously right so what is a 4 letter word for public school after lesson work....-r-p? Also, plethora is right so I am now left with 'detailed mapping' (10) t---graphy?

Prep

Last one could be topography

[thikasabrik]

Ok geo, I'm with you so fat. Now I've made it topography, I'm still left with one....11A 'turn from moral path' which is now D-P-A-E.

After tonight I am taking up knitting.

[thikasabrik]

oops, that should be 'so far....not so fat!!!!!'

[kosoro]

Deviate??

[thikasabrik]

Eureka! I got it myself....DEPRAVE. Thanks to all of you for your help. I am now retiring from doing crosswords forever....or at least until next Sunday. Special thanks to geo0939 who can have 10% of my winnings this week AND a kiss cos Mr Brik is out visiting his dear old mum right now.
