Today on 40ish: Lauren comes undone at a party -quite literally - while Nicole is done, full stop, with cleaning the kitchen worktop for the millionth time.

Meanwhile, a listener wonders whether to take a stand against the tyranny of overpriced hand soap, (shout out to Baylis & Harding fans) and we ask the big midlife questions: how much fibre does a woman actually need… and does a 20-something waitress want to hear about it? (Spoiler: no.)

We love to hear from you! To share your feedback, dilemmas, rants, funny stories or general complaints about midlife please be in touch at:
