Trivial reasons for doing the lottery......

A cleaner-upper that perfectly understands the workings of my mind so that they can sort my paperwork, file things, find things, pick up my mess and deliver it to its "home" separate blu tac from hair bobbles, pins, tiddlywinks and sewing thread, put away aforementioned items and know which items I'll be looking for in 5 mins time.

Simple!

Clean bedding every day and a chauffeur on permanent standby.

A full time housekeeper and cook, but they would have to work as they did in Edwardian times, that is out of sight as I would be irritated by their presence 😁

Someone to do the gardening Please!!

I have only once bought a lottery ticket. My chances of winning are zilch.

Another fan of daily fresh bedding here!

One of my cats has an inflamed bowel, so it would be nice to have the litter trays cleaned several times a day.

I find hedge-cutting a chore these days, so that is another task I would like to be relieved of.

The thought of winning the lottery is a fantasy, so my wish might as well be for an invisible odd-job performing fairy.

I don't drive so someone to take me wherever I want to go. They would also cook for me and do the ironing!

I’m with Dogmum - fresh bedding every night, Egyptian cotton in summer and flannelette in winter…oh heaven 🛌

First class travel. Not trivial enough?
Sort the potholes and bring back the railway to my town. It would need to be a big win.

There's probably a self filling bird bath already invented keepcalm
There should be.

Someone to do my housework, a gardener and a cook.
I do enjoy gardening but the garden is far too big now I'm older.

Washing windows, inside and out.

Valet car.

Hire someone to do the housework, washing, ironing and gardening leaving me to be a Lady of leisure!

Fresh flowers every day
Freshly washed & line dried bed linen every day
My husbands would be brand new socks every day

I like the idea of a personal chef, but authorised to just provide very small portions and no treats!
I really believe that’s the only way I’ll be able to lose weight!

A personal chef. My dream is to present him/her with my desired menu for the day and then, in early evening, to sit down at a beautiful dining table and be served a delicious meal washed down with some extremely expensive wine.

Ooh, both these are way more life enhancing than mollycoddling the starlings, like your style Grandmadinosaur & Dogmum2

Dogmum2 Mon 20-May-24 13:25:12

Changing our bed! Of all the 'jobs' it's the one i would gladly pay someone to come in and do.

Grandmadinosaur Mon 20-May-24 13:23:22

A personal chauffeur 🤣

If I ever remember to win the lottery (really should get 'round to it, I know ) I will -
Employ someone purely to refill the birdbath, 5 times already today!grin

What trivial thing would you splash out on ?
