'Joyous, wise, reassuring and laugh-out-loud funny. I love these two women so much.' Elizabeth Day

'The two funniest women on planet earth right now.' Dolly Alderton

'I want to be Fi and Jane when I grow up.' Clare Balding

'A book like no other. Honest and very, very funny. Some bits made me want to cheer.' Sara Cox

'If you loved the late, great Victoria Wood, then you'll love Fi and Jane too.' Red magazine

Award-winning broadcasters Fi Glover and Jane Garvey don't claim to have all the answers (what was the question?), but in these hilarious and perceptive essays they take modern life by its elasticated waist and give it a brisk going over with a stiff brush.

They riff together on the chuff of life, from pet deaths to broadcasting hierarchies, via the importance of hair dye, the perils and pleasures of judging other women, and the perplexing overconfidence of chino-wearing middle-aged white men named Roger.

Did I Say That Out Loud? covers essential life skills (never buy an acrylic jumper, always decline the offer of a limoncello), ponders the prudence of orgasm merchandise and suggests the disconcerting possibility that Christmas is a hereditary disease, passed down the maternal line.

At a time of constant uncertainty, what we all need is the wisdom of two women who haven't got a clue what's going on either.
