...sigh. I suppose I'd better get off my arse and do it myself then Shock
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 Wink

I'd love to outsource everything - surely we could just move to a hotel for a couple of months and the house would be made pristine by a team of declutterers, designers, decorators, plumbers, cleaners, personal shoppers and finally a chef.

I think living in a luxury hotel must be great in itself.

A chef, cleaner, baby sitter. Basically I want to do nothing x

Concierge- someone to find, organise, stay home for and manage eg getting an electrician to sort x and y and a plumber to do z. Also in charge of random last minute stuff needed for school, insurance renewals and sending birthday cards to relatives.

Oven cleaning - I might just do that in reality, diamonds or not.

Another vote for declutterer/sorter of child related detritus.

I don't mind doing laundry. Find it quite satisfying. I don't find cleaning satisfying though so would outsource that.

A local launderette near me used to charge £10 for a “service wash” where they washed, dried and folded everything you could fit into one of those big blue IKEA bags.

I thought it was an absolute bargain and that was 2006-2009 or thereabouts.

I was thinking earlier how lovely Daz washing powder smells when you hang out washing so I'd miss that smell if I outsourced it

@Pheebs2021 I won't tell your mum if you don't Grin

I outsource the demolition of my garden. A man comes once a fortnight and gets as much of the horrid green crap into the garden wheels bins as he can.

If I could afford to, I would pay a cleaner/housekeeper too.

Larryslockdownlunch · 25/04/2021 15:53

I would like an old fashioned housekeeper. They can tidy and clean and shop and cook and iron and make beds and listen to me moan. Perfect

GrinI quite often think that what I need is a fleet of servants to follow me around organising my life for me.
