40ish

• Falling, Fibbing and Airing the Fanny

  This week on 40ish. Things are looking up for Lauren in the laundry room, but the moment she steps outside? Down she goes. Did she fall over… or, at our age, has she officially “had a fall”? Nicole has a jolly trip to Costco (pick n’ mix for adults with no self control) and makes a shocking confession involving lying to Lauren. Could it be the end of a beautiful friendship? (Spoiler: probably not, but we milk the drama like pros.) Prosopagnosia makes another bewildering appearance raises its head again, one listener is sharing her HRT with her dog - yes, really. And we tackle the big questions bothering you this week - knickers under pyjamas yay or nay? Grab a cuppa, settle in, and prepare for midlife mayhem in all its weird, relatable, delightful glory.

• Cosy, Cranky and Passive aggressive punctuation

  Today on 40ish: Nicole publicly outs Lauren’s escalating email rudeness. Is this the moment we finally admit that yes, midlife has arrived -and apparently it’s brought passive-aggressive punctuation with it. Meanwhile, the pair discover that nothing makes them happier these days than being gifted… extra virgin olive oil. Not gin. Not wine. Olive oil. Nicole, for her part, is living her absolute peak existence on the sofa under a blanket with a hot water bottle like a Victorian invalid who just discovered Netflix. Plus! A listener writes in with some strong merch ideas: Housecoats and a 40ish recipe book, featuring the only things midlife people actually bother cooking anymore: rhubarb compote and air-fryer-everything. Honestly? It might be a bestselling product.  It’s cozy. It’s cranky. It’s deeply midlife.  We love to hear from you!

• Granola, Puppy Pandemonium & A stolen kiss in the stables

  Things go completely off the rails today when Lauren’s puppy’s antics push James to the brink… and he in turn pushes them right out of the studio (much to Nicole’s amusement) Speaking of Nicole, she’s been busy browsing the M&S clothes and she likes what she sees - classic midlife move. Lauren then casually drops into conversation that she’s met national treasure Clare Balding (as you do) while attending a Christmas exhibition so deeply middle-aged it may as well have handed out free orthopaedic insoles at the door. Meanwhile, in listener-land: One rider writes in about a stolen kiss at her local stables and another wants to know whether being disproportionately thrilled by discovering a new granola is a sign she’s entered the 40ish dimension. (The short answer is yes. The long answer is YES.) Expect ultimate chaos, multiple puppy interruptions and quite frankly if this show is even vaguely cohesive it’ll be a miracle.

• Ankle Boots, Plant based buffets and Netflix Negotiations

  Today on 40ish: Lauren wonders if long-term marriage really just comes down to which Netflix series you can both tolerate, while Nicole’s deeply unconvinced that the cowboy aesthetic is making a comeback. A listener faces a full-blown footwear crisis (seriously, what is up with ankle boots?)  and another dreads her company’s “Annual Office Holiday Experience.” Nothing says festive joy quite like a sustainably catered, plant-forward buffet!

• Face Blind, Feline Rescue and 6-7

  This week on 40ish: A listener writes in about her rescue cat (that she quite frankly hates), and Lauren discovers she’s face-blind - which is awkward AF and Nicole is still obsessed with 6-7, according to her this makes her 'cool' - All unpicked in this episode.
