First of all, thank you to everyone who's taken part in the survey, it's now closed and I've been busy going through the responses. My goodness they're interesting, I'm really grateful for all of the careful thought that you've put into the comment boxes. I'll be taking suggestions on board and starting to answer some of the questions you had in posts as I go along. Now, it's a while since we've had a cornucopia so here are a few [...]
I need your help today with the Midlifechic reader survey 2020. You see next week I'm going down to London for my annual retailer meetings where I sit down and update them on what it's like to be a midlifer in 2020.

I'm not going to patronise you by saying [...]
