Live in various 5 star hotels wherever the mood took me!

I would walk around with a big bag of £5 and £10 notes giving them out to people that I deemed 'worthy' of a treat.

Did you put your rubbish in a bin? You get a note!
Did you stop your child from picking a flower in a park? You get a note!
Did you treat the shop assistant like a human, not as your personal slave? You get a note!

Like a cheaper Oprah.

AlpacaPicnic · 01/01/2019 15:26

That's not charity btw, it's encouraging nice behaviour for everyone and passive-aggressively punishment for the bad...

Pay someone to polish my letterbox. I see maids in the fancy houses nearby polishing the doorknobs and letter boxes and think - their houses must be so spotless they are thinking of jobs to keep them busy.

Laundry - I loathe laundry.

Glitteryfrog · 01/01/2019 15:28

Tailor made clothes.
Especially coats

HerRoyalNotness · 01/01/2019 15:29

Never travel with luggage again. Have someone at the other end purchase some clothes etc and leave them when I go home.

supersop60 · 01/01/2019 15:30

Build my own house (or rather, get someone else to design it to my specs and then build it for me)
Buy a grand piano for said house.
Buy a house for my dsis who really really needs to leave her H.

Live in a luxury suite on a constant round the world cruise.

Littlepond · 01/01/2019 15:33

I’d join a really expensive gym and pay someone to drive me there and back every day.

Live in a top class hotel in a particular city in another country. I gave up my dreams to have to remain in the UK for various reasons that couldn't be avoided. I'd do anything just to live in my dream city again.

Bottomplasters · 01/01/2019 15:52

Someone to physically get me out of bed

pluckett · 01/01/2019 15:54

Buy a wonderful family home to replace current house that has zero storage, evident the minute you walk through my front door...

Cavort · 01/01/2019 16:03

Private jet - I fucking HATE the whole airport experience. Chef. Housekeeper who I barely know is there but changes all beds and does all laundry/ironing like some kind of magic invisible fairy.

00100001 · 01/01/2019 16:05

Oh! I'd buy ahouse with multiple staircases!

Collect art. Have a huge garden full of Barbara Hepworths and other beautiful sculptures.

Notso · 01/01/2019 16:52

I love the idea of being a cheap Oprah!!

There's a lovely lady who lives near my parents for years who has had a really tough life. From being quite young I always though I would love to pay for a luxury holiday for her if I won the lottery.

For me I'd have a pool, being able to swim everyday would make me so happy, obviously I'd need a hairdresser on hand to take care of my chlorine soaked barnet afterwards too.

TheBaltictriangle · 01/01/2019 17:14

Holiday homes with staff all over the globe

Have my favourite coffee and cardamom milk shipped in from Dubai.

Monthly flower, coffee and artisan chocolates subscriptions.

Pure silk underwear

PatPhoenix · 01/01/2019 17:19

Handmade shoes.

Handmade underwear.
Every bizarre sex toy that Lovehoney has and try them all out in rotation.

Trouble is, if I had bazillions I know I would give up work, and actually that wouldn't do me any good. The money needs to go to someone less lazy [gnashes teeth]

comebacksoonsusan · 01/01/2019 17:20

A floristry budget to rival Elton John.

Art collection.

Personal trainer.

IJustLostTheGame · 01/01/2019 17:25

800 thread count sheets for my bed and someone would change it every day.
I would eat all Waitrose food except for biscuits which would come from fortnum and masons.
I would have fresh flowers in my house every few days.
Someone would pick up my beautiful dry clean only designer clothes, actually all my washing, and put it away all ironed and folded.
I would have a cleaner.
I would have someone blow dry my hair all swishy and shiny for me.
I would have a trainer for hoop classes. I want to bend like a circus performer.

It's probably a good thing I'm not rich really. I'd probably turn into a lazy twat.
