Would your life be better if you had:

A personal assistant who did all your shopping and arranged all your appointments

A personal trainer who took you out 3 times a day

Regular salon appointments for hair and nails

A personal chef who provided all meals, snacks and cooked for you

Never having to work a day in your life and just expecting all the above

I'll have it all except the personal trainer. It's so dull having to cook for oneself and go to work Grin

BewaretheIckabog · 25/11/2020 22:09

In context, I work hard for a living.

Lockdown has been the best time of her life.

I cannot get my hair done or sniff my friends bottoms.

Someone challenged me today on the ethics of having a dog. I tend to think she’s doing ok.

Haha I guessed this was about dogs. They do need to sleep 16 hours a day, you know. But being serious their life is totally dependant on what kind of owner they have, a bad owner is not so much fun.

BakedTattie · 25/11/2020 22:25

Fuck yes! Sounds amazing

Diversion · 25/11/2020 22:32

The only think I would want is a chauffer as I hate driving and I dont think that I would cope with anyone else involved in my life everyday.

DareGreatly · 25/11/2020 22:32

Brilliant OP. I have a dog and didn't spot that. I am all those things too! (And yes when I get reincarnated I'm coming back as a dog!)

BewaretheIckabog · 25/11/2020 22:33

I like earning my own living but would enjoy the other perks!

Would your life be better if you had:

A personal trainer who took you out 3 times a day

Regular salon appointments for hair and nails

A personal chef who provided all meals, snacks and cooked for you

Never having to work a day in your life and just expecting all the above

Happy to do shopping and arrange my own appointments, but if someone could come in a couple of times a week and do admin and filing I wouldn't say no!

3 x a day? WTF, hell no! 3 or 4 x a week, and an indoor swimming pool would be nice though.

Regular salon treatments - yes please. I also have an extensive 'bucket list' of nips and tucks if I ever had the money.

Personal chef - no, I love cooking. Would rather have an epic kitchen and pantry.

Never having to work again...OMG yes please!!!

And don't forget the cleaner and someone to do the laundry.

MintyCedric · 25/11/2020 22:40

Should have RTFT...still it was nice to dream.

And my cats say they're very happy though!

kittykat35 · 25/11/2020 22:42

Would your life be better if you had:

A personal assistant who did all your shopping and arranged all your appointments- NO I like to do my own shopping and google calendar is great for keeping track of my appointments

A personal trainer who took you out 3 times a day- 3 times a day is a bit much but pre Covid I attend our free gym at work and classes 3 times a week.

Regular salon appointments for hair and nails- pre Covid that was the norm...😭😭

A personal chef who provided all meals, snacks and cooked for you-YES, I would LOVE that!! Although dh is a great cook 👍

Never having to work a day in your life and just expecting all the above- NO I love my job and I have plans to move on and up and I want to achieve them!!

fancytiles · 25/11/2020 22:44

Yes

Eckhart · 25/11/2020 23:40

The thing i envy most about my dog is her lack of worry and stress. I don't think concepts like 'What if there wasn't enough to eat?' 'What if we can't do x or y' ever cross her mind.

Oh, and the size of the bed. She has her own bed (2 in fact) but sleeps in with me usually. She's small. The bed is about 5 times as long as her. Imagine having a bed 5 times as long as you!

TaraR2020 · 26/11/2020 01:30

A pt 3x a day? No thanks! 3x a week maybe lol

readingismycardio · 26/11/2020 05:37

Definitely not no 1, no one can be better at organising than myself, and if I didn't have to work that would be even betterGrin
A personal trainer definitely
No 3 nope, I already do that
Not having to work - with unlimited money,
i hope Grin

trixiebelden77 · 26/11/2020 05:58

“No idea what snacks are”.

😂😂😂😂

Dictionaries are widely available.

I wouldn’t mind household staff - never having to clean/launder/cook would free up a lot of time.

BefuddledPerson · 26/11/2020 06:15

I don't by think being a domestic pet is a perfect life, as there's no freedom and not much time to follow instincts.

BefuddledPerson · 26/11/2020 06:16

Don't by think = don't think Confused

garlictwist · 26/11/2020 06:27

I don't care about any of those except the chef. That would be a game changer as I hate cooking. I find it easy and fun to exercise and I don't think life admin is that arduous.

EveryYouEveryMe · 26/11/2020 06:53

Actually, having someone take on some of those tasks every once in a while without having to be in a relationship to get some help would be amazing.

So yes. Life would be better if I had the money to hire the extra pair of hands to give me a break from all the duties of being a single mother without the grief of another douchecanoe ex.

TerpsichoreanMuse · 26/11/2020 07:16

I'd love to have a house that was big enough or had separate accommodation for staff. Then there would be a dog sitter on tap, and someone to drive us out for the evening.

Wouldn't want to exercise with a trainer 3 x a day, as I'd prefer a mix of my bike, outdoor bike and pool (house would be big enough for one of those). I'd like them to come 3x weekly for weights sessions though.

Would love a chef too - someone who could balance my weekends with lovely healthy calorie counted lunches and dinners in the week. No breakfasts or snacks needed.

Not bothered about hair much or nails at all. The driver could take me to the hairdresser if it was ever needed.

Calmandmeasured1 · 26/11/2020 07:21

No. It would be so much worse to never have any sense of personal achievement as a result of not doing any of these things for myself.
