Just looked up price for sending laundry out...

[MutteringDarkly]

...sigh. I suppose I'd better get off my arse and do it myself then
I may tell myself I'm saving £15 per load as I work my way through the mountain today.

What would you out-source if we all had pockets full of diamonds* and money was no object?

*will be checking pockets for diamonds before doing laundry. Safety first

Tidying up i can do the actual cleaning but find the tidying fucking tedious

I'd get a personal chef from during the week that would plan, shop and cook healthy meals for us. I know of gousto and hello fresh, but we can't justify the price. Just during tge week, I live cooking, but I'm sitting doing the meal planning right now and I've got no ideas at all!

I have outsourced it all over the years.

When DH and I first moved in together 32 years ago, he thanked me for ironing his shirt and then said he preferred them starched.

I haven't ironed a stitch since.

He was away Monday to Friday and I was on my own, (DS took a long time to come along)( my mother said on the subject, in order to conceive both parties must be in the same room) I got a cleaner in every second week as I also worked and was unwilling to work out of the home and in the home when he was working away and having his room tidied and bed made for him everyday.

We had a dog I didn't want a dog, he said he would walk it when he was home, he didn't, I employed a dog walker.

We had the garden remodelled a few years ago, I could see it falling into wrack and ruin so I employed a gardener.

He works really hard and stuff around the house is not in his skill set, so I am not about to make it mine, so I just outsource it all.

Thank you, that was therapeutic.

Preferred them starched I'd have been tempted to starch his underpants if I had the slightest idea how to starch

I'm also going to out-source "thinking what to have for supper", thanks for the reminder of the tedium of meals-responsibility.

There are always 50% codes of hello fresh on FB it's very affordable that way

I’d get a chauffeur to take me to/from work. I’m not terribly keen on driving, and it can be a nightmare to park.

I'm getting into this now: do you think you can outsource "making interested noises while DC talk for eleventy billion minutes about Pokemon"?

And YES to parking.

I'd hire a chef and kitchen cleaner.

I'd do performance cooking once a week.

I need someone to tidy up and sort the mound of shoes that have multiplied in the hallway. I find tidying tedious too.

I can tidy for other people its just my own shit I hate so perhaps I could swap with someone

I don't drive so I would love a chauffeur, mr big style!

I would like someone to sort out all the old toys/grown out things, flog them on eBay/take them to a charity shop.

When the kids were really small i wished I could outsource putting them in coats, shoes, car seats and getting the buggy in and out of the car! Now they can climb in themselves it's much easier.

Despite being a cleaner, and loving cleaning, I’d hire a cleaner. I hate how it’s constantly needing done in my own house. It never ends.
I’d also hire a cook. I hate cooking, thinking about dinner, planning meals. I hate eating it much of the time but that’s because I’m a shitty cook. If I have a proper cook making them I’m sure I’d love it.

Laundrette loads are massive though.

I probably underload our machine but at the moment sending all the white bed linen for one large load at the laundry for £17 seems good value. It would take me 6 washes and using the tumble dryer.

I would employ someone to pick up everything that DH gets out and leaves out. I won't do it on principle but yearn for a coffee table without gardening books, assorted seeds, an old lantern he's taken apart, glasses cleaner, pens and old envelopes he's written on...

I'd love to employ somebody to make my garden lovely. I'm on my own and only manage the basics, mowing the lawn, keeping it tidy and occasional weeding but it's a plain, square piece of grass with a trampoline on.
Days like today I'd love to have a really pretty garden to sit in.

I'd employ a daily housekeeper to just run everything. Washing, meals, housework etc. If she knew a gardener who could ' run the garden' so much the better.

I have cleaners once a fortnight and do it myself the other week, to keep the cost down. I’d love to have them every week.
I would also love to have a personal hairdressing service for a daily blow dry, after my half-hour with my imaginary personal trainer.

Bed changing. It's a pain in the arse (literally, I have prolapsed lumbar discs with sciatica). DH does do it, or we do it together, but having someone do it for you like when you're on holiday would be lovely. Especially if they wash, dry & put away the other set as well.

Someone to wash my bed linen and then re-make the bed once a week for me. It is the only chore that has me muttering choice words throughout but i really love getting into a freshly made bed so until i win the lottery i will carry on grinning and bearing it.

Giving serious thought to PPs idea of a skill swap - I love de-cluttering and building furniture, and quite like wallpapering, tiling and painting. Who'd like to do my laundry in exchange?!

@MutteringDarkly in return for papering our spare bedroom I would even separate the washing into colours and use the hot flattening instrument. My mum told me never to touch the iron as a child and never took away the ban therefore my mum said I can't iron bit ill disobey for you.
