On this week’s Midweek Catchup, we find Karen fresh off the plane from Italy — sun-kissed, smug, and still moaning about Kaye’s teacups. Meanwhile, Kaye's dealing with a holiday-free existential wobble, thanks to ITV’s major cuts to Loose Women. But true to form, she’s channeling change into downsizing chaos, emotional reinvention... and maybe offloading a baby grand piano.

From lipstick regrets to toe-breaking tragedies and a t-shirt that defied hygiene norms, it’s never just about summer holidays. Because no one tells you your sixties will involve arguing over crockery while secretly Googling “Russian Red vs. Chili.”

Whether you’re team mug-specific or team make-do, this one’s for anyone balancing life’s curveballs with a dodgy yoga pose and a bit of perspective.
