40ish

• Piercings, Tantrums and Nothing says I love you like a Dustbuster.

  This week on 40ish Lauren's husband romances her with a new DustBuster. (Nothing says I love you like Dyson) whilst Nicole is radiating extra bougie energy as she lights up a 3 wick high end candle. (Then has an almighty adult tantrum). A listener doesn't know what to make of her 53yr old husband suddenly arriving home with an ear piercing (Midlife crisis or David Beckham tribute?)  and another woman has had it with trying to arrange a Christmas Day that everyone is happy with. Oh, and did we mention Lauren is talking to her appliances now? Send help. We love to hear from you!

• A Spanx tantrum and the John Lewis Ad

  This week on 40ish: the ladies unwrap the new John Lewis Christmas ad and it’s got them feeling deeply middle-aged. Lauren has what can only be described as an epic meltdown over Spanx and one midlife online dater is torn between two men she doesn’t even fancy (spoiler: bin them both) Buckle up; it’s a feisty one.  We love to hear from you!

• Skips, Gorilla cream and Um Bongo

  This week on 40ish: Lauren is cooing over the Costco catalogue and Nicole is along for the ride - heated fleece blanket anyone? The pair debate over whether prawn cocktail crisps count as a “classic,” before descending into mild hysteria when they realise they’re spending their forties discussing the merits of Um Bongo vs Ki-Ora on a public platform. Elsewhere, Lauren’s husband might need a quiet moment when he finds his wife rapping on TikTok, a listener wonders if a fiver for a kids’ party pizza is the new normal, and another woman fears her testosterone cream might be turning her into a gorilla. Midlife: it’s a trip. We love to hear from you!

• Capes, Loafers, and Vinted Fails

  This week on 40ish it’s midlife shopping gone wrong. Lauren suffers a Vinted fail while Nicole debates whether she’s officially lost the plot after lusting over a Supergirl-style caped top. The great loafer debate of 2024 has returned from the dead. Lauren’s bought a pair, and Nicole is strictly forbidden to comment (good luck with that). Meanwhile, a listener writes in full of Halloween regret: her Morticia Addams costume was a hit… until she realised she was the only one dressed up at the office Halloween party. Now she’s convinced she looked like a middle-aged tart — her words, not ours. It’s fashion faux pas, spooky shame, and a caped crusade through the chaos of midlife. We love to hear from you!

• Pumpkins, Paranormal Activity & Panic Buys

  This week on 40ish: It’s Halloween, and things are getting spooky. We can’t decide what’s scarier: Lauren’s truly terrifying childhood tale, or Nicole juggling three different costumes for her daughter’s Halloween events. A listener wants to know do you believe in the paranormal? She’s got some seriously creepy goings-on in her new home. Meanwhile, two other women are in full seasonal meltdown: when did pumpkin carving become an elite sport, and why do kids’ costumes cost more than actual adult clothes? (Witch, please, we are too tired for this shit)  It’s ghosts, glitter, and gory amounts of prep - welcome to Halloween, midlife edition. We love to hear from you!
