- The coffee fairy. Who ensures there is always coffee, milk and sugar in the kitchen. I have never had to make a mad dash to the corner shop because we've run out.
- The toilet paper fairy. Same as above. Also applies to paper towels and soap.
- The cleaning fairy who ensure the toilets, kitchen and the office generally are 20x tidier and pleasanter than home.
- Clean windows. Never had to stare pointlessly out of the window through smudges and streaks.
- People are polite. No-one ever grunts at me, ignores me or says 'but it's not fair. X had some', or 'I don't want to do Y'. They might be cross about something but they confine themselves to mildly snotty e-mails copied to someone else. No-one tends to have tantrums and throw things.
- If I make an effort to scrub up a little no-one says 'Mummy why are you wearing those funny shoes?'. They might think it but they don't say it.
- People always say please and thankyou, and I never have to say 'what do you say?' when I fix a problem, or e-mail a report.
- Most of all, whilst I am grateful for all these, I am most grateful of all that these things happen without me having to do anything about it! And it they don't, it's somebody else's fault.
