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?

I'd love a large house overlooking water with huge retractable glass doors to let in the light. DD and family would live in the main house and I'd be quite happy in a granny annexe. Bliss!

I’d have so many things, housekeeper, PA, chef, private jet, few villas dotted around the world, why settle for less, oh and I’d also rent out top floor of the ritz and live there for few months of year ?

Same as others have wished for. First class travel to New Zealand once a year to see my son and grandchildren.

The whole bod, obv.

A Japanese shower that does everything for you, soap, wash and blowdry.

A holiday cottage near both my dd families. I would now but DD will not be persuaded.

A world cruise!! See the world comfortably in my older age!

A chef

A lovely little property on a Greek island. Must have own private pool!

Lizzie44 Sat 04-Jun-22 13:02:49

Something I'd appreciate every single day - a Geberit shower toilet (other brands may be available).

Bluesmum I have also flown B.Class to Oz, twice, preCovid. I’m in Australia at present, flew out here with my DH, “cattle class”, (believe it or not, all B.Class seats for the dates we wanted were sold out). Due to fly home on Friday, dreading it, as the flight out was truly awful. NEVER again….

MerylStreep

A runway with my own private jet ?

Me too! I’d love to be able to go on holiday abroad and take the dog as she Couid travel with us in the cabin.

Ha ha. Another vote for fresh bed linen daily. I spend so much time in mine these days. A weekly change can’t come fast enough. I think I need to add a new mattress to my list though. Mine has seen better days.
I do like cotton sheets with a high thread count. They feel so much nicer than poly cotton (crap). I’ve got a pillow that was £150. The best £150 I’ve spent in a long time. It’s so supportive and firm. When I’m in hospital it comes with me. Shame I cat take my own linen in.

A huge mansion with large self-contained apartments for family - AC and GC. Within the grounds a farm for DS whose heart lies in animal husbandry, but works in the financial sector. Stables for GC to own and lean to ride horses.

I'd treat Myself to a Narrowboat..I've been watching Silver Fox (Foxes afloat ) on You tube and it does look hard work thou.??

mistymitts Sat 04-Jun-22 12:38:21

Oh yes, and a trip to the hair dresser once a month.

Ktsmum Sat 04-Jun-22 12:36:30

A chauffeur and a swimming pool

mistymitts Sat 04-Jun-22 12:36:12

Good health in body and mind, and being free from financial worries, I could enjoy the rest of my life travelling in comfort to far off places and to visit my children. But couldn’t do this if I was not fit and healthy.

Juliet27 Sat 04-Jun-22 12:34:24

Same here bluesmum ?

gillyjp Sat 04-Jun-22 12:26:06

An ocean going super yacht with all relevant staff, swimming pool, helipad, etc.

tictacnana Sat 04-Jun-22 12:13:07

A woman chauffeur. I had someone to drive me to and from work. He moved in . Big mistake !

Grantanow Sat 04-Jun-22 12:12:18

Staff, luxuries, experiences, private jet and first class medical support.

Dee1012 Sat 04-Jun-22 12:10:49

A house in a rural location, preferably near the sea so I could rescue more dogs and other animals... I'd like to take those with health issues or elderly dog's.

Anneeba Sat 04-Jun-22 12:09:56

I'd finance ubiquitous Sure Start programmes that also provided healthy meals for all users, open dog and cat centres for strays abroad (neutering a priority, plus de-flea and tick drops) heart-breaking to see the cats in Kefalonia where we were lucky enough to be on holiday recently, (a large bag of Iams took up half my luggage going out grin), plus a frivolous endless supply of top quality scented candles, heavy on the vanilla please. Note to all scented candle haters, you probably won't ever have the displeasure of visiting me anyway ha!

HannahLoisLuke Sat 04-Jun-22 12:09:23

A gardener who wouldn’t dig up my flowers. I’m finding it difficult now.
