If money was no object…

If money, space or property design was no problem what luxury would you treat yourself to.
I think mine would be a 20 metre swimming pool full of lovely warm water. Oh and a hunky pool man to keep it clean!
What selfish indulgence would you have?

A chauffeur. He need not be in uniform only able and available to drive the Bentley or Merc I would buy.

Kim19 Tue 31-May-22 22:19:08

A live in companion-cum-employee

crazyH Tue 31-May-22 22:19:52

A housekeeper, cook, cleaner and chauffeur.
You’ve guessed it - I LOVE housework - NOT

MayBee70 Tue 31-May-22 22:20:57

My own gym and sauna.

I would fly to Australia first class or at least business class, whenever I felt I needed to see my DGC!

MerylStreep Tue 31-May-22 22:26:50

A runway with my own private jet ?

Jane43 Tue 31-May-22 22:33:35

A personal trainer and a chef to help me lose the last 7 pounds I am struggling with.

Yes!
With a chauffeur driven car to the airport and someone to take care of my luggage. My own personal buggy to meet me at the transit airport and a private lounge while I wait in transit.
I'd let DH join me, it would be mean to make him travel economy.

A luxury villa in Tuscany. I would fly there and never come back to this cold and rainy country.

BlueSky Tue 31-May-22 22:44:05

That would be lovely Calli. The full package, not forgetting a stop over in Singapore or Dubai.

Maggiemaybe Tue 31-May-22 22:44:07

First class travel wherever we go. And a chauffeur on tap to get us to the trains, boats and planes.

If I’m allowed to stray into the realms of fantasy, a carbon neutral tele-porter instead. DGS3 is currently drawing up plans for one, but he’s only 7 so it may be a while yet before it’s in production. smile

Yes - not for too long but I'd like to see the Supertrees in Singapore.
Raffles overnight, we didn't stay there last time we were in there but did visit in the afternoon for a tour round and a Singapore Sling.

Tell him to hurry up! ?

I would settle for a top of the range summer house. I'm easily pleased!

Nanny27 Tue 31-May-22 22:57:13

Hand made shoes so that my ugly feet could be encased in gorgeousness while being comfy. Bliss.

Kate1949 Tue 31-May-22 23:02:23

I always say handmade shoes too Nanny27. Oh to wear glamorous shoes again. ?

GagaJo Tue 31-May-22 23:02:46

A 3 storey house, with a self contained 3rd floor for me. Sitting room. Bedroom. Kitchen. Bathroom. DD and DGS could have the 2 floors below, but I'd have my calm, quiet oasis at the top.

I could name a lot of other luxuries, but honestly, I'm not really bothered about them.

MawtheMerrier Tue 31-May-22 23:05:26

Fresh bedlinen every day - with someone else to wash and iron it and change the beds

CanadianGran Tue 31-May-22 23:10:50

A property close to daughter and family, so we could visit but not be staying with them. That way I would stay for longer periods. Plus they live in a nice city which I love!

Menopaws Tue 31-May-22 23:18:37

Yep first class flights to oz and nz to see my children whenever I want with all the trimmings and to give up work

henetha Tue 31-May-22 23:22:03

I'd love a P.A. a secretary/ help/organiser/handyperson/general assistant to help with everything that's becoming just a bit of a struggle now.

Oh Maw you beat me to it! I’d positively dance into bed every night!

I’d love an enormous animal sanctuary with lovely accommodation and good staff to look after all the guests.

Oldwoman70 Wed 01-Jun-22 09:43:15

Has to be a chauffeur and housekeeper, plus first class travel to Australia to visit family
