Hey Weezl, no, nope and no to the items you mentioned (had a hankering for cake and cream and polished the lot off last night LOL - although baby 2 due in a week today so am allowing myself some guilty pleasures).
BTW some of the recipes on here are fab - gonna try the slowcooker jam pudding !
Tried the coconut bread just before oven broke and it was delish

Oh how annoying! I'm not sure about freezing, apart from as a banana ice cream. Have you got any cream, custard or evaporated milk in your cupboards?

Weezl x

you can freeze them in their skins

Thanks shaz -off to pop them in now before I forget LOL
Would I need to defrost them before using them ? (sorry for sounding a bit daft)

I have 4 blackening bananas which I'd like to use for baking, but my oven just broke down and new one doesn't arrive until a week on tuesday.
Can I freeze the bananas until I can use them ? Would I chop them or leave them whole ? Skin on or off ?
Oh, and does anyone have a banana loaf/cake recipe ?

Yes they can be frozen, but for easy use I peel them first and cut in half

Re snails. I read a lot about purging etc here aare a few links for sorting the little b...s out

i've frozen bananas in chunks in bags, you can then whizz (technical!) them in a food processor straight out the freezer and it makes yummy banana icecream. which is obviously very good for you as nothing added
