If it was free, what personal servant would you have?

I think Jerry Hall said a woman needed to be a maid round the House, a chef in the kitchen and a whore in the bedroom. I'm exhausted doing two out of three so it would be great to have some help

I can just be a slob in all rooms these days.

Good for Jerry Hall - she can affor at least two of the three!!! wonder which ones?

Oh dear, I got Jerry’s advice numbers 2 and 3 muddled up, that explains a lot.......

Definitely a gardener, and someone to do my ironing. However much gardening and ironing you do, there is always more tomorrow - never ending.

Please note ladies that Monty is not available for casual work. He is working full time for me in my fantasy garden.

I asked DH that question. He said' Someone to do the washing and ironing' . I said you don't do it anyway , I do. So he said ' An estate manager then' . Words fail me

Gardener

An office manager; I hate dealing with paperwork, bills etc. and a general factotum to change plugs, kick the ch when it won't work, paint the house etc... it used to be called a husband. Actually, he could also stand in for when I need accompanying to events .....purely platonic of course

Does anyone still need a servant? I’m really looking to get into that industry.

My email is [email protected] if so.

I think you missed the word 'free' in the original post alex.

No servant for me. I'm an introvert and having someone around would be harder work for me than doing my own chores. Those holidays where you get a butler are my idea of hell - I'd have to give him 50 quid on day one and ask him not to come back for a fortnight.

This thread is four years old and I’ve spotted my post which said I’d like a housekeeper.

A lot has happened in my life since then and I no longer have need of a housekeeper but a chauffeur would be marvellous.

Now I’ve moved I’m totally done with long distance driving. I couldn’t care less if I never see the M25 again. How lovely it would be to whistle up ‘Parker’ and be whisked off to anywhere I fancy, picking up friends or family on the way.

How many of you would still go with your first choice?

Bum. I didn't notice it was such an old thread.

I have a physical disability and housework has become increasingly difficult as the condition deteriorates. At the moment I’m very lucky to be able to have a lovely cleaning lady who comes in for 3 hours every other week. I have to be selective with the time available so that she does the things I find hardest to manage. I would love to be able to afford to increase the hours to take more of the pressure off. I love the suggestion upthread of a genie in a bottle though - a twitch of the nose and a few magic words and it would all be done !!

I’m with you on the introvert comment coastpath

I'd love to have a chauffeur/ general maintenance/ handyperson with counselling skills.

Definitely a cleaner! My DH laughs when I say I’ll get myself a part time job cleaning.

Cleaner AND cook. But not live in. I want the house to myself.

Same here plus a gardener. I like gardening but never seem to get the garden straight so find it hard to relax when sitting in it.

And someone to give me pedicures/manicures and facials

And a hairdresser. I am rubbish at doing my own hair

I like gardening but never seem to get the garden straight so find it hard to relax when sitting in it.

Oh yes, I know the feeling. Settle down with a coffee + spot a weed + half an hour later = cold coffee.

I would love to have a ‘my man’ who would be responsible for ALL house maintenance inside and out. To be able to hand over my, to do list, would be bliss.

I could do it for free. I’m sorry if I came off weird, it wasn’t supposed to be like that.

My honest apologies, truthfully. I didn’t mean it in a paid way.

Definitely a chauffeur who can do garden in spare time.
