so.. not charitable stuff. Blush

silly stuff, where if money were no object, you'd do these things.

  1. brand new pants every day :D
  2. have someone make my bed with fresh sheets each morning (and it would be super nice linen)
  3. buy abrand new car with all the whizzy bits on

I'd buy loads of horses and ponies but hire people to do literally everything for them. But they'd be there if I wanted to stroke them 😁

I'd go round the World going to all the sporting World Cups - Athletics, Football, Cricket, Rugby, and the Olympics.
I'd go and see some people in concert that I'd never have the money to do otherwise.

Made to measure clothes
Massage daily
Hair done weekly
Personal trainer sessions a few times a week

I’d buy my dad a new house where he had nice neighbours instead of his current stress-inducing, self-centred and frequently vindictive neighbours.
I’d then get someone to organise a fabulous luxury holiday for us all.
I’d buy a moderately nice new car, nothing so flash I’d worry about it getting knicked though.
I do like the idea of a personal chef. One of the biggest everyday stresses I could do without.
Also, I would pay for a personal shopper/ makeover person to find me a whole new wardrobe and tell me what make-up to wear.
Would also love a beautiful pied-a-terre overlooking the sea somewhere stunningly picturesque.

RolandDeschainsGilly · 01/01/2019 21:23

Blow dry and style every morning along with make up

Someone to drive me everywhere

Live in housekeeper

Several Nannies

A fucking huge vinyl record collection

And a giant ball pit just for grown ups

A billion is so unimaginable for most people. I’d definitely create my own spin off charity/foundation so I could have something to give me a bit of purpose. I’m struggling a bit to think what I’d spend that much money on and you could never hide that much money so I think it would change you and your relationships. However, in terms of fun things... I’d totally

  1. have staff- particularly gardener, personal trainer, cleaner and chef

  2. build my own luxury spa retreat. I love going on spa breaks but other people are annoying. I might even see it as a business venture and let the public book for 5/7 days of the week.

  3. travel the world in luxury.

Having just looked at Emirates for flights the first thing I’d do is fly somewhere with them in their first class suites-man they look like the stuff of dreams Grin

KarineAimee · 01/01/2019 22:45

I’d have an amazing sound system so I could listen to music in every room in the house.

A housekeeper, gardener and general handy person to make daily life smooth.

Fly in first class to lovely places a couple of times a year.

Have a flat near my sister so we could visit whenever we want.

Teeth first - Get a “Britney spears” type fake smile
Body next - Get things lifted, enlarged, removed/sucked out as needed.
Then... shopping every day. Eg If I need a bath sponge there will be no more nipping to Boots or Asda.... it will mean my chauffeur needs to take me to Harrods to by one. 🤣😍

BBTHREE76 · 01/01/2019 22:56

P.S. I am not as shallow as the post above makes me look. I would look after charity/family etc but that’s not what OP asked 😉

Kate223344 · 02/01/2019 02:52

I'd have a chef. I'd also get my knee high boots polished daily!

TheBaltictriangle · 02/01/2019 03:24

I'd have knee high boots made to measure because I've got skinny calves.

Atchiclees · 02/01/2019 03:36

Personal chef, hairdresser, shopper, and trainer. A butler to bring me afternoon tea, I’d call him Jeeves.
Turn a wing of my mansion into a spa.
Hire a crack team of silent, ninja tree cutters to sneak around here at night cutting down all the hacked at Leylandii, so no one has to look at the ugly things again, including me when I am chauffeured around my old neighbourhood.

MissLanesAmericanCousin · 02/01/2019 04:18

I would recreate the Spice Shop and the interior of the trailer from the TV show Grimm, in my 100 room mansion. Grin

A Scottish castle, amidst beautiful scenery. Hills, woods and lochs.
All the windows would be beautiful stained glass.
It would contain a vast and ever expanding library.
A huge cabinet of curiosities.
A ski lift for going up and down the hills, not to ski, but because I can't climb them, and because I like the sensation of flying silently over the treetops.
Foot massage on demand
A hot air balloon.
A Morgan
An observatory
Cosmetic surgery for the droopy bits
The latest in VR rigs, with loads of programmes set in space.
I'd have a new but properly aligned stone circle somewhere on my vast estate.
A box in the Royal Opera House

KitchenDancefloor · 02/01/2019 11:22

I'd hire staff:

  • a professional nagger to get me to have better posture
  • a very honest stylist so that i would never look back at pictures and think 'why didn't anyone tell me those clothes were horrid?'
  • someone to discipline my kids so that I could be nothing but lovely to them
  • a personal masseuse until the nagger's job was complete
  • the Strictly professionals on rotation to teach me how to dance in my own ballroom
Montsti · 02/01/2019 12:51

Private jet - I love travelling but it’s stressful with 4 young kids...
