pay for someone to wash my face. I hate doing it but it's so necessary for my skin.

What would your thing be?

I would pay someone to wash and dry my hair. Not even a fancy blow dry, just a quick rough dry. I just hate doing it.

Get a personal chef to drop off dinner for me every night... Or set up a healthy take away business with my chosen menu so they can deliver to me on demand

I would pay someone to pet my cat when he's annoying me lying across my desk mewing for pets all the time

LadyChilli · 10/09/2024 22:55

I'd hire someone to tickle or scratch my back until I fell asleep at night.

I'd have a personal shopper who'd know my exact dimensions and have a good eye. When I wanted a new bra or coat or jeans they'd get me a selection to try on and bring them to my house and then do any necessary returns. I'd never internet shop or real life shop for clothes again.

Someone to make the bed with clean linen every day, just like being in a hotel & fresh flowers arranged every week at home.

GoosieLucie · 10/09/2024 23:01

I would get some garden designers in and have a complete landscaping job done, then pay gardeners to keep it looking beautiful.

I'm just kidding I love petting my cat

That was nearly a 20-minute gap. Did Emperor Tiddles find out what you had written and make you issue a correction? 😂My emperor certainly would!

Someone to tidy up behind me. Terrible at finishing or remembering things. They would: Shut the drawers, put the toothbrush back in the holder and the cap on, put dirty clothes away and reusable ones in the drawer, wipe the crumbs, press send on the emails and save on the file. Remember the name of things like the fridge, not let me mix up the dog with my son or my boss with my husband. Put my glasses in my hand and the car keys on the hook.
They could also remember to sort out the football club league payments, reorder the kit and put the athletic club dates of races on the calendar for the 4 kids. Alongside all the differing inset/holidays/red nose bollocks Maybe go to parents evening and nod in all the right bits. Remember our anniversary and my nephew's and nieces many birthdays.
I'm good on big strategy, can organise an organisation with 30 members if staff but can I fuck remember to buy my daughter new shin pads 😭

I would do something that means staff don’t have to pay to park at my local hospital.

Getting a Costa = their choice.
Having to pay to park their car = not their choice.

I don’t know if it means buying the car park or giving staff passes or what, but that’s what I would do.

I'd have a laundry woman! Her full time job would be to wash or hand wash, dry, press and repair my clothes. Can you imagine never having to worry about the laundry basket, handwashing and hanging out again? 😍

Given that I'd won the lottery in this scenario, the job would be well paid with food conditions, just because it's such hard work!

Of course. I'd pay my personal shopper really well and she could also use the credit card to buy us delicious treats to eat after I tried on the clothes.
I don't mind washing but I'd love a person to do minor clothes repairs for me. I almost cry when I have to sew back on a button.

Yes!

DeCaray · 10/09/2024 23:59

I love having my hair brushed. Just brushed, I don't want it washed or styled, just someone brushing it.

I love crochet but tend to make blankets and afghans that don't require a lot of weaving in ends so I'd like the pleasure of making different motif squares and then someone else join them altogether.

GoingOutShoes · 11/09/2024 00:43

I'd pay for a nice flat for my sister, and for 24/7 carers for her.

Morwenscapacioussleeves · 11/09/2024 00:49

There is a national trust property I love that I would pay for public toilets for (it's a start point for lots of great walks) and some local public toilets have been closed recently & due to a fabulous accessible coastal walk they are desperately missed . I would pay to maintain them.

Promise I'm not obsessed by toilets but without them I missed these places when pregnant & when each child was learning to use the toilet I know many women will miss out on these lovely places without toilets being available.

Csdrassticcallychanginngnnammes · 11/09/2024 00:51

I would have a daily foot massage.

Me too. I absolutely hate washing my hair. Also shaving my legs. Despise both things.

Sadmamatoday · 11/09/2024 01:06

Get a chef

Just4thisthreadtoday · 11/09/2024 01:11

I'd pay someone to put fresh linen on the bed twice a week.

I’d also pay to have my hair brushed, it is very soothing.

someone to make me salads every day. I love salads. I cba making them.

I would by my window cleaners a house, they are the most lovely couple, work hard, always full of sunshine but they can’t afford to buy a house and they want to. There are loads of other people I would help, but this is the random people I sort of know who I would help.

GalaticalFarce · 11/09/2024 01:20

Someone to put petrol in my car. Hate doing it so much.
All my admin as I forget everything.
