A professional declutterer who will intuitively know what to keep, donate, throw away, and tidy up as they go.

My birthday is in 2 weeks, thanks in advance.

Significantly more than birthday present would usually cost -
Redo garden new patio, new retaining wall, replace path.
New kitchen

Actual birthday present range cost - well we replaced our kitchen knives recently and I'm delighted with the new ones. And we bought an air fryer. If we hadn't just made these purchases that is what I'd ask for.

Maybe a new stainless steel frying pan?

Ginisatonic · 16/04/2025 13:02

I’d like our stairs and bannisters painted. I always do these things myself but I just can’t be arsed much as I’d like it done.

BCBird · 16/04/2025 13:03

New shed.

stayathomer · 16/04/2025 13:03

Fence properly fixed so dog can never ever get out again, all the floating stuff to be organised so if the kids want childhood stuff it’s together, all floors cleaned, kids made study😉 (Hilarious that if you’d asked this last week I’d have had a huge list but we have visitors broken so have been scrubbing everything!)

stayathomer · 16/04/2025 13:03

And thank you, op, have some birthday cake!!!

uncomfortablydumb60 · 16/04/2025 13:25

An IKEA SUNDVIK kids wardrobe to match the one I have
Im short with dodgy balance and these are perfect.

Caledoniadreaming · 16/04/2025 13:28

Another vote for professional declutterer here. Try as I might I just cannot get to the point of being happy with the amount of sheer cr@p around the house. And that's before I get to the toys....

unsync · 16/04/2025 13:29

Declutter and full refurb. I can wait until a big birthday if that helps? In the meantime, there is a gutter that requires fixing

DilemmaDelilah · 16/04/2025 13:32

I would like my kitchen floor tiles regrouted please.
And my interior doors and stair rail repainted
And the cracks in the kitchen wall filled in and the walls repainted
And - if the garden is included, I would like the patios and steps jet washed and ALL the weeding done

I think that's about it.

facepalmcustard · 16/04/2025 13:54

A proper deep clean please!!

New flooring in the hall and kitchen. New light fitting for the dining room, and dining room and office painted.

canthavethatonethen · 16/04/2025 14:19

Please can I place an order for someone to come round and paint all the woodwork and ceilings through the entire house. I'd also like the carpets cleaned, and some new curtains in the dining room. They could also clean the oven while they're here.

Ta very much.

Visun · 16/04/2025 14:21

Paint and decorate the living room, curtains or shutters for the living room, new flooring/carpets for the whole flat, paint the hall and a deep clean to finish it off.

Thank you so much!
