I’d love a housekeeper to keep on top of everything, laundry, making sure everything’s clean etc. I absolutely hate the relentless pressure of cleaning but my OCD makes sure I do it!

A cleaner and a chef.

wishfulthinking25 · 12/02/2026 20:58

chef 1000%

Spaghettion · 12/02/2026 21:04

Yay, I love this game, play it with myself all the time.
Cleaner
Chef
Someone to do the crappy gardening jobs like mowing and weeding ( I still want all the good stuff)
A chauffeur (I’m not allowed to drive because of my terrible eyesight, it’s so inconvenient)
Hairdresser and makeup artist.. A fresh look every day.
One of those computers like what Cher has in Clueless that picks your outfit every morning.

Housekeeper slash Life Admin person.

Someone who would keep on top of all the little housey bits that crop up, plus also diarise and proactively do utility and insurance comparisons and all that kind of stuff. Bonus if they can also take all the stuff in my car boot to the various charity shop and donation points too. Basically take the clutter out of my brain.

Chauffeur, I hate driving and avoid it at all costs
Chef
Stylist

Sminty2 · 12/02/2026 21:32

A gardener.

Someone who would willingly move every plant to where I wanted it, then move it back without speaking, when I changed my mind.

Fidgety31 · 12/02/2026 21:34

A companion/friend . Single life can be very lonely .

ChimpanzeeThatMonkeyNews · 12/02/2026 21:34

A housekeeper, and a pill to help with the guilt of having a housekeeper!

Those Dyson hoover/ floor cleaners are £1k.

I mean, really. 🙄

Stuckstuckstuckfuck · 12/02/2026 21:40

A chauffeur. I cant drive and most of the time it's fine but sometimes it's a right pain.

I dont think my children miss out because we normally manage to sort something and actually I think nlt driving can lead to some fun life skills and adventures but I do feel bad about it.

Stuckstuckstuckfuck · 12/02/2026 21:42

And a hairdresser/make up/stylist.
Who doesnt talk too much!

eosmum · 12/02/2026 21:44

A working car😭😭 but definitely people for all the crap jobs, cleaner, gardening, laundry.

Otterdrunk · 12/02/2026 21:46

Pretty much everything!

thistimelastweek · 12/02/2026 21:47

A therapist.
Not because I have unresolved issues but it would be really nice to just talk about me to someone who is paid to pretend they're not bored.

Flukingflukes · 12/02/2026 21:49

A gardener. I’d have a beautiful lawn with flower borders, a water feature, an orchard with a variety of fruit trees and a walled garden for vegetables and salad.

SP2024 · 12/02/2026 21:58

Personal trainer

Mikay · 12/02/2026 22:03

My freedom

Threeabreast · 12/02/2026 22:03

A house where the neighbours aren’t arseholes.

BlackCatDiscoClub · 12/02/2026 22:19

Robot vacuum/mop for every floor, personal chef, personal trainer and in home gym, heated indoor swimming pool, a PA to help me with all the life admin!

ChalkOrCheese · 12/02/2026 22:21

A masseuse.

REDB99 · 12/02/2026 22:23

Definitely a house keeper! I like the thought of an old fashioned ‘daily’ who pops in for a few hours each day and does all the bits and bobs.

A personal masseur

Personal trainer

SalmonOnFinnCrisp · 12/02/2026 22:24

Housekeeper (not just a cleaner a keeper of my house)
Chef
Masseuse who comes 3 x pw
PT
And a "groomer" (in my mind they come and do my hair and make up and do my eyebrows and give me mani pedis and whatever else )

Mossstitch · 12/02/2026 22:28

Swimming pool.........but would need a larger property to house it🤔 and a cleaner.

larkstar · 12/02/2026 22:29

Depends on how rich! I'd buy either a CT scanner or an MRI machine and donate it to a hospital BUT the running costs are so high I suspect many hospitals wouldn't be able to afford to run them - the machines themselves might be £1m for CT and up to £2.5m for MRI but running costs are up to £200k pa or £400k pa respectively!!

FunnyOrca · 12/02/2026 22:37

I’d love the privilege of being a SAHM

TeaAndTrumpet · 13/02/2026 08:16

Personal shopper/ personal tailor. I’ve been saying it for years.

I hate shopping. Mostly because it consists of hours of trawling through things that won’t fit/wrong colour/wrong fabric to find something that’s vaguely decent. I’m not even that weirdly shaped, just not straight up and down and tall like models.
