What ridiculously pointless extravagant thing would you have if you could?

[MakeSureYouHoldYourNose]

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!

Chef.

Please could I have all of the above?

I would love a chauffeur and a chef. I want one of those galleried landings with a book case all the way round. and I'd like to be able to teleport

A housekeeper, a chauffeur, and a house with a swimming pool, and someone to look after the pool

An island, either in a Loch or off the West coast. I’d build an eco house and enjoy the peace.

I would build a whole block of luxury apartments in Highgate/East Finchley/Muswell Hill and live in the penthouse apartment (which has 3/4 bedrooms). There would be underground parking, a swimming pool, a gym, a sauna, communal gardens with children's play area (perhaps with a few private plots for residents to grow vegetables and relax in), concierge and a full cleaning service (that you can opt into). WFH office space on the ground floor for residents' use. I would rent/sell the rest of the apartments.

I would like a chauffeur too but only on the weekends as I like using public transport (could probably just use Ubers tbh but its not as convenient to get a Uber with a baby). Don't really need a chef as DH likes cooking. Would probably like a nanny for future DC but the nanny would be live-out.

Admittedly I probably need to be a billionaire for this :) I don't care about yachts or multiple homes (i like hotels in all honesty and no maintenance), what i value is convenience. The problem with serviced apartments/condo living is generally the hefty service charges that come with it (hence why I bought a 1930s walk up apartment as a 20 something), but if you are the freeholder with control over costs and also able to share it with other residents as well plus can afford it, then why would you choose a villa on Bishops Avenue over it?

The sort of housekeeping service that you have in a 5* hotel. So somebody who comes in every day and does something like beds, bins, towels, dishwasher, quick hoover, feeds animals etc. However they're a bit magic and can do it all in the 15 minutes that I'm on the morning school run so I come back to a lovely tidy house ready for the day ahead!

An indoor swimming pool. Bliss

@TortugaRumCakeQueen

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.

Omg, YES!

Some of these are great. I think I also need the blow dries but daily would do me lol.

A dental hygienist to brush and floss my teeth for me. Twice a day.

Back/ foot - tickler/ massager. One that doesn't moan about it or get tired arms.
Personal chef.

@AchillesPoirot

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

That's not pointless. It would be life changing, for me anyway.

@notprincehamlet this would be on my list too!

Indoor heated swimming pool! Full size so I can do laps but also has a like jacuzzi setting yes i know they're frowned upon on here but my back could do with the massaging action

Oh yes as pp have said someone to manage and maintain the aforementioned pool as well

A live in masseuse, hair stylist and dental hygenist.

Mr whippy machine

Could I also have a ladies maid like Anna in Downton Abby who does my hair, makeup and helps me get ready in the morning. Perhaps she could be a professional stylist so she knows what goes with what and what clothes I should wear

Yes I know that sounds shallow

Personal shopper.

As in, 'you know what I like to eat/wear/watch/read ' so get out there and find it for me.

I'd have a machine that made a twin of me which went to work and did chores for me while I do whatever I want.

Mummyford I bet you wept buckets when she left.

I obviously want what Mummyford

But as for pointless extravaganza I'd have some of Carrie's wallpaper.

Original sketches and watercolours by Louis Icart, lots and lots.

Yes to the swimming pool, and someone to look after it. I don't think that would be pointless though.

Also a summer house at the bottom of the garden, with a day bed and wild flowers in tasteful jugs (think Country Living magazine). I would of course need a house / garden large enough to accommodate the swimming pool and summer house.

And also a red panda, please.
