£50 to make life easier...

[coldemortreturns]

So, if you had £50 a week to make life a bit easier for yourself what would you outsource? Live on my own with a bugger of a commute and a hatred of anything domestic.

• taxi to train station instead of walking 25 mins in morning £5 a day.
• food delivery company such as gusto - £30-£40 a week
• take away food (not rubbish, nice restaurants that deliver) £10 a meal
• cleaner £10ph
• Laundry Service, bed lined washed and ironed plus a few work dresses/tops £15pw

What combination would you go for? Open to any other ideas as well!!

Good, people not having dw in a cold climate with long working hours puzzles me 😀. Blunt version, they are batshit.

Lawn service! Ours is £13.50 a month for the scarification/aeration/regular feeds and now we just mow it and it looks so good in the summer.

Definitely a cleaner and Gardner

Take away and cleaner.

Takeaway delivers. My idea of heaven.

cleaner!

I actually quite enjoy a walk, wakes me up and I feel less sluggish.

and some restaurant food delivery. I am happy with ready-made fresh soups or bits I can get from supermarket for daily meals.

I’d save it and use for a decorator once a year, hate decorating.

I’d hate having a cleaner but don’t mind doing it nor the ironing as doesn’t take long.

Cleaner with most of it

I would say laundry services but don’t mind doing the bedlinen, and cleaner irons the odd shirt, it’s all the clothes folding I’d want done

A cleaner

I've had a cleaner since I moved from PT to FT a few years ago. Worth every penny! Laundry washed, dried and put away would be amazing. And beds changed too.

Taxi
Cleaner for an hour (of most job you hate)
Laundry service

But in reality. Doubt you will find a cleaner for 1 hour a week....

So Taxi... Laundry Service and 1 take away meal, maybe midweek

Fresh Flowers every week
Someone to cook for me once a week (I live on my own) or a nice recipe kit
Regular pedicure

I have a cleaner and love ironing so they are taken care of

@coldemortreturns you really wouldn’t want him , he drives you mad continually vacuuming / dusting .

Both DH & I have been furloughed since March, and are really behind with bills. All our savings are gone. We usually get fed at work so with kids home from school groceries are far higher than normal. Never expected it to go on this long.
Too afraid to try and get tax credits as still paying for a mistake they say happened 12 years ago, how do you find the evidence from so long ago to argue with them? £50 a week would take me back up to full pay
