• Dynasty, Divorce and Dodgy Driving

  Today on 40ish: Nicole is channelling Dynasty in her new jumpsuit and we are absolutely here for it, but a QR code has her on the verge of a technological meltdown. Meanwhile, Lauren is spiralling over Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s shock divorce. Why? And more importantly, who gets custody of their extensive collection of hair straighteners? And as if that’s not enough drama, a listener writes in with a dilemma that proves some people still haven’t quite grasped the concept of traffic lights. (Top tip: red means stop.)

• Waistbands, Wash Day & Wandering Wires

  Today on 40ish: Lauren finally reaches laundry nirvana… until the puppy redecorates the bed with vomit. Meanwhile, Nicole has officially hit the stage where only an elasticated waistband will do.  Our listeners aren’t having it easy either: one woman needs to break the news that her friend’s dream haircut is giving Dudley Moore  rather than Demi Moore (IYKYK) and another is ranting about the great mystery of the disappearing phone chargers. (We feel your pain.)  We love to hear from you!

• Peter Andre, Doggy Dress Up and Fire Pit Flirtation

  Today on 40ish: Nicole is nostalgic for Peter Andre (yes, mysterious girl, waterfall etc) and has officially lost patience with people who think we need their full autobiography before getting to the lasagna recipe. Meanwhile, Lauren is incandescent with rage over a dog in a velour tracksuit. (No, really. A DOG. IN VELOUR. Let that sink in.) And if that weren’t enough midlife madness, our listeners are bringing the drama too: one woman is wondering if she should cancel a holiday after someone else’s husband got a little too flirty around the fire pit. Honestly—this is middle age, not Love Island, dude. Grow up!  We love to hear from you!

• Affairs, Armchairs & ATM Rage

  Today on 40ish: Lauren has a full on rant about people who linger at cashpoints - what the f are they doing? Whilst Nicole is confused yet slightly aroused at her husband refilling the peppermill and putting the eggs away in the right place. (domestic foreplay is real, folks). Our listeners don’t hold back either: one is juggling an affair with a married man and an S&M fling with her gym buddy - we call that multitasking at its finest. Whilst another woman is left questioning her youth after realising her “favourite sofa spot” is basically a shrine to middle-aged comfort. Step away from the side table, Lindsay.

• Earlybirds, Booby-ganoush & Bedroom boredom

  Today on 40ish: Nicole makes a shocking confession: she’s officially joined the early-bird dinner brigade (yes, she’s that person eating dinner at 6pm). Meanwhile, Lauren struts around a party… only to later realise she’s been working the room with food splattered across her boob. Our listeners bring their own gems too: one wonders if it’s borderline obsessive (or just practical) to do a full-on spring clean before family descends, and another shares the mortifying tale of a husband who nodded off halfway through… well, you know. Spoiler: it wasn’t Eastenders. It’s midlife chaos, awkward giggles, and reassurance that you’re never the only one. We love to hear from you!
