On this week’s Midweek Catchup, we’re talking Christmas chaos, stubborn husbands, and the kind of A&E visit that derails even the best-laid festive plans. Kaye finds herself doing the night shift in a waiting room full of germs, Karen is wrapping up head-torches and shoehorns like they’re luxury gifts, and both of them are wondering when life got quite this ridiculous.

Whether you’re panic-buying presents, fighting off winter bugs, or just trying to get one night of proper sleep, this one will feel comfortingly familiar. It’s never just about the holidays, of course. It’s about ageing with humour, muddling through the medical dramas, and realising no one tells you how often you’ll end up discussing footwear aids in your sixties.
