I'll start.

If I could have anything in the world it would be a chauffeur to take me to work, preferably who didn't speak and tinted windows so I could catch a nap on the way to and from work. Realistically it's probably quicker on public transport! Grin

A housekeeper. To do all the cleaning and the house admin type stuff.

A chef! I like fresh fish, grilled veg, salad etc but with a full on job and full on kids, I end up eating crap hence why I’m overweight. I also hate school holidays with them all home constantly asking for food. So yeah, a chef who catered for the crap they want to eat and the fresh and healthy stuff only I seem to want.

Personal masseuse on call at any time.

BIg grass fields with cattle grazing in them and cowsheds and a farm manager to manage it all.

upinaballoon · 11/04/2022 15:05

Dare I say that no-one has chosen a pointless thing at all.

notangelinajolie · 11/04/2022 15:07

I'd have my teeth whitened and my boobs reduced.

Lazzaroni · 11/04/2022 15:08

Brand new (as in 'out of the packet new', not 'freshly laundered') bedding every single day. And someone to make it.

MyNameIsAngelicaSchuyler · 11/04/2022 15:08

Weekly blow dry

IllDoItButOnlyForTheAttention · 11/04/2022 15:09

Someone to come in once a week and change all the beds for me. I HATE doing it so much. But I LOVE clean sheets.

I'd love it to just be DONE.

I don't know why this job gives me the rage so much, when it's objectively not the worst household task.

EdgeOfSeventeenAndThreeQuarter · 11/04/2022 15:10

I’d like a sauna.

TortugaRumCakeQueen · 11/04/2022 15:38

A live-in masseuse. But one that would play with my hair at 9pm, or rub my feet. To get me all sleepy for bed. LOL.

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 11/04/2022 15:41

All the new Lego releases to build at my leisure. And my own personal museum to keep selected ones in (id happily donate the more child friendly ones to schools, hospitals etc after building.)

whoturnedthesunoff · 11/04/2022 15:48

I'd have a beautician who was a massage expert
Not Brian from Hull
I could be manicured pedicures massaged facial , eyebrows be on point
I'd be moisturised daily instead of annually

Oh and if she was a magician who could massage away fat ....

A camel.

PineappleWilson · 11/04/2022 16:22

A camper van. I have nowhere to park it, couldn't insure it and the kids would argue over bunks, but it doesn't stop me pining over them when I see one on someone's drive.

I would also like a chauffeur. One on standby at all times. I hate driving.

I'd also like my hair dried and straightened daily.

HadEnoughOfBears · 11/04/2022 16:25

Also I'd like a chef.

And I'd like some sort of procedure on the bits under my eyes.

Also I'd like a bay window in my living room.

FelicityBeedle · 11/04/2022 16:25

An insane amount of Lipo and those appetite suppressant injections, fuck healthy eating I just want to eat crap and be skinny

DappledShade · 11/04/2022 16:27

A driver and an old fashioned ice cream cart.

Mol1628 · 11/04/2022 16:30

I want a 25m indoor heated swimming pool that no one else was allowed to use and I would have someone to clean and maintain it all for me.

ElenaSt · 11/04/2022 16:35

I’d also like a small herd of fake cows like these

ProseccoStorm · 11/04/2022 16:39

I'd have a chauffeur

I'd also have beautiful flowers in every room

And....I'd only ever wear brand new socks. Perfectly fresh, soft and previously unspoilt by my feet.

MissyB1 · 11/04/2022 16:41

We it’s not extortionately expensive but it would be one of those drinks trolley things. We don’t drink much but it would come out at Christmas and I would even put little fairy lights on it. I would have crystal decanters and glasses. Ooh I’ve gone right back to the 70s Grin

Ringmaster27 · 11/04/2022 16:43

A masseuse and a live-in barista to make me coffee from the obscenely expensive espresso machine that would have pride of place in my giant kitchen.
