Salmon Sperm, Sexual Fantasies and Bad Coats

This week on 40ish we are diving into a listener’s crush that's ruining her life. We choose our middle age Spice Girl names. Nicole is asked out by Jimmy Nesbitt and is convinced Lauren is having sex dreams about her. Plus, one listener has her got herself in hot water after telling a whopping lie about her mother-in-law and she’s about to get caught out. We would love to hear from you!

This week on 40ish, Lauren and Nicole are living their best reality TV lives as they debate whether they’re Traitors or Faithfuls.  Plus, things get heated (in the most British way possible) as they argue the correct way to make a cup of tea. A listener wants to know if it’s rude to ask her friends to turn off the TV for a conversation... we say, obviously, but agree that Slow Horses is an addictive series. Oh, and is it really a sign of middle age if you ask for a cast iron pot for your birthday? Tune in for this episode of 40ish where wisdom, nonsense, and questionable gift requests collide.
