Bunkers, Brain Fog & Birthday Cake Fails

Today on 40ish: Nicole has bought a steam mop and it's love at first swipe. Lauren, meanwhile, is about to celebrate her silver wedding anniversary ( surely that's for old people?) This week's listener feedback brings an enthusiastic leggings recommendation (sorry, Lululemon). Then Mary-Anne gets in touch from deep inside perimenopause brain fog; words? Gone. Executive function? Also gone. If you've ever walked into a room and forgotten why, this segment is basically a support group. This week's Dilemma: Rosie's best friend has gone full doomsday prepper. Six months of food, industrial quantities of water, head torches, a camping stove, a wind-up radio - the lot. Completely unhinged, or the only one who'll be laughing when civilisation collapses? And finally, Meltdown of the week: a listener rings her husband to ask what flavour cake he wants for his birthday. One small problem: it isn't his birthday.

Perimenopause symptoms, memory loss, marriage milestones, friendship dilemmas, panic buying, doomsday prepping, activewear obsessions and the eternal question: why did we walk into this room again?

This is 40ish. You're welcome.
