What would you do every day if money was no object?

just this really

I would have a big orange juicer and have freshly squeeze orange juice every day, I would become a writer, I would live in the sun and windsurf all afternoon

Care for unwanted animals

NanaNelly · 23/08/2022 19:20

I’d have a hairdresser come to the house and wash and blow dry my hair every day. I might even add have someone apply a natural day time make up to that also

JustJustWhy · 23/08/2022 19:26

Savour and digest every meal.

orangeisthenewpuce · 23/08/2022 19:26

I'd do all my food shopping in M&S. I'd never wash and dry my own hair. I'd live in a house with a pool. I'd stay in beautiful v expensive hotels. I'd get taxis everywhere.

Sit on the beach and drink my tea and i am so blessed that i already do this nearly ever morning.

SundayGirl86 · 23/08/2022 19:38

Swim in my own pool, eat healthy meals prepared by my personal chef and walk my many rescue dogs 😊

First thing would be have a massive party. Next would be buying my dream home and paying someone to design, source and decorate - underfloor heating, loads of bathrooms, his/hers sinks (& toilets), gym, pool, huge gardens, cinema and a workforce to go with it- cleaners, gardeners, window cleaners. I’d pay someone to cook healthy delicious meals mon-fri. I’d do things with the family at weekends that we normally have to save up to: theatre, ballet, safari park, Alton towers, bbqs with our friends, zoo etc.

id get a full MOT health check for me and all my loved ones to check for absolutely everything and see what needs sorting/removing/treating as early as possible.

Lots of exercise, massage, hair once a week, new clothes, new cars, pay for my kids to do clubs and activities that they want and not worry about the cost.

book lovely holidays and weekend city breaks on a whim. Go skiing. Read loads, and when all of this has become ‘norm’ work out something I really want to do or something worthwhile investing time and money into.

sounds bliss!

Kanaloa · 23/08/2022 19:43

Read books, build Lego, and piss about all day. Also go on holidays every time the kids were off school. Enjoy dropping the kids off and going home to chill out then going back to pick them up at 3 and going to the park after school, rather than racing out the door for breakfast club then picking them up from after school club and racing home to do dinner and bed.

BiscuitLover3678 · 23/08/2022 19:44

Money was no object and no concerns about waste and climate change (not trying to be goady, I genuinely feel bad about this stuff):

Fresh bedsheets every day
Fresh towels every day
Coffee machine for nice coffees every day
Facial and massage
New gorgeous clothes
House cleaned without me somehow noticing or having to do it or step around a cleaner

BiscuitLover3678 · 23/08/2022 19:44

Ooh hairdresser does my hair, someone does my make up

Kanaloa · 23/08/2022 19:45

Donate to as many charaties/ food banks / homeless shelters as I can

I feel a bit tight now 😂 I had no even fleeting thought of altruism. Just ‘I would piss about as much as possible and enjoy myself thoroughly.’

BiscuitLover3678 · 23/08/2022 19:46

Oh yes personal chef with new meals every day too (very wasteful). Healthy and delicious

Downandout01 · 23/08/2022 19:52

Personal chef come in and prepare breakfast for us then prep lunch and dinner stuff for us to do ourselves later.
Swim every day.
Yoga class every day.
Have a really healthy but delicious cold pressed juice
Have someone come in to do washing/ironing/cleaning/decluttering
Have an hour of totally present, quality time with each of my children.
Read for pleasure

RoseandSadie · 23/08/2022 19:53

Build a huge greenhouse (think hand that rocks the cradle/ practical magic) and a garden kitchen with outdoor garden.. somewhere in the med.
I’d keep bees and have all my daughters friends over for pool and bbqs.
i would fill the house with photographs that I’ve taken and paid for the lessons with and sit under my weeping willow with a jug of something yummy and endless good books.

Hause · 23/08/2022 19:58

I’d move to a lovely character house near the coast and spend every day, dog walking, crafting, baking and gardening. I’d have a nanny to help with the kids and buy posh healthy meal boxes so I could shift the extra two stone I’m carrying.

SouperNoodle · 23/08/2022 20:03

I'd be a lady of leisure.
I'd have spa days, afternoon teas, have shopping sprees (as obviously I'd have a fabulous figure due to being able to afford a PT) and would swan about my gigantic house, thanking the maids and butlers for their wonderful service! 😂

Janie94 · 23/08/2022 17:19

I would set up a cattery!

And I’ll come and volunteer at it.

In between having a PT instructor and as someone else said, my own chef team to make me super healthy meals. I’d also employ a chaperone to reduce my consumption of so much chocolate, sweets, bread and all the other things that make me bloat up but I so love the taste of.

DH is awesome but he’s a feeder with the breaking strain of a soggy Kitkat. Mmmmm, Kitkat!!!

Havehope21 · 23/08/2022 20:05

Have a facial, head and foot massage.
Shop in Waitrose and enjoy cooking whatever I fancied.
Enjoy decorating my house with beautiful things.
Enjoy helping make those I love feel happy, safe and secure.

SelfMadeWoman · 23/08/2022 20:06

Buy houses, rent them specifically to people needing housing benefit, then give the tenant back their rent. Probably doesn't make sense but I like the idea of the government paying for people's bills.

And open a cat sanctuary.

Welshrarebitontoast · 23/08/2022 20:18

Buy a cottage, on a harbour and every morning go for a walk, before the world wakes up.

Have a room, converted into a library/reading room. Floor to ceiling bookshelves, comfy armchairs, open fire and lots of cosy throws.

A fish tank full of jelly fish.

MintJulia · 23/08/2022 20:23

Give up work (I'm late 50s), and split my time between travelling, gardening, generally having fun and being with ds.

RoseMartha · 23/08/2022 20:24

Walk on a sandy beach

SprinkleOfSunak · 23/08/2022 20:25

Never, ever work again - although I would technically, as I’d own my own businesses.

My house staff would prepare breakfast for my family and I, and would iron all of our clothes and have all items ready in school bags for my children.

My chauffeur would drive my children and I to their school in our limousine.

I’d be driven back home and work out with a personal trainer, followed by time in my steam room.

I’d then have my hair blow dried to perfection by my daily visiting hairdresser.

I’d be chauffeured in my limousine to my restaurant business, then my café, followed by my arty lifestyle shop, just to check up on how things are going. I wouldn’t actually lift a finger, but I would choose all new items and make full decisions for the directions of each business.

I’d then by chauffeured to either Bond Street for shopping, or to Ladurée for macarons and tea, or to a spa for a massage, facial and a manicure.

My house staff would prepare all the ingredients for whatever I’d chosen for my dinner, and I’d cook our dinner, as I like cooking.

SuperGinger · 23/08/2022 20:27

Never do housework again. My lovely DM has never done housework

SpotOnMyBot · 23/08/2022 20:30

Quit work

Buy a small holding near the sea- have a large area dedicated to growing my own fruit and veg

Buy a greenhouse for the garden and have a comfy chair so I can sit in it and read books in winter. Have loads of seedlings on the go that I now have time to look after

Exercise every day

Get more dogs, probably spaniels and Great Danes

Walk to the beach every day and try and swim every day
