I’d love a housekeeper to keep on top of everything, laundry, making sure everything’s clean etc. I absolutely hate the relentless pressure of cleaning but my OCD makes sure I do it!

A therapist.
Not because I have unresolved issues but it would be really nice to just talk about me to someone who is paid to pretend they're not bored.

Pretty much everything!

A working car😭😭 but definitely people for all the crap jobs, cleaner, gardening, laundry.

Who doesnt talk too much!

A chauffeur. I cant drive and most of the time it's fine but sometimes it's a right pain.

I dont think my children miss out because we normally manage to sort something and actually I think nlt driving can lead to some fun life skills and adventures but I do feel bad about it.

A housekeeper, and a pill to help with the guilt of having a housekeeper!

Those Dyson hoover/ floor cleaners are £1k.

I mean, really. 🙄

A companion/friend . Single life can be very lonely .

A gardener.

Someone who would willingly move every plant to where I wanted it, then move it back without speaking, when I changed my mind.

Chauffeur, I hate driving and avoid it at all costs
Chef
Stylist

Housekeeper slash Life Admin person.

Someone who would keep on top of all the little housey bits that crop up, plus also diarise and proactively do utility and insurance comparisons and all that kind of stuff. Bonus if they can also take all the stuff in my car boot to the various charity shop and donation points too. Basically take the clutter out of my brain.

Yay, I love this game, play it with myself all the time.
Cleaner
Chef
Someone to do the crappy gardening jobs like mowing and weeding ( I still want all the good stuff)
A chauffeur (I’m not allowed to drive because of my terrible eyesight, it’s so inconvenient)
Hairdresser and makeup artist.. A fresh look every day.
One of those computers like what Cher has in Clueless that picks your outfit every morning.
