Getting my nails professionally manicured and painted. 💅🏻

Me too. I have horrible nails. They were fine until my chemo but never returned to their former glory.

To call on occasionally but utilise whenever I wanted would be a reliable all-round handyman/competent Diy-er.

Other than that, it would be a weekly wash and blow dry as I can never do my hair the way the hairdresser does it.

Another one who'd opt for a Gardener.

My husband hates gardening to the extent that he'd rather scrub the loo than spend the equivalent amount of time weeding (and he doesn't know a nettle from a nasturtium in any case); and I am getting simply too poorly to cope with the garden by myself.

I did look into getting help, but I simply can't afford the £20 per hour I've been quoted.

That is mine! Except it would be twice a week, I'd sort it out myself on a Sunday

For me it would be holidays I just think my life is too short and the world too large

Yes - I could go for twice a week too!  Could even experiment with different styles.

I wonder if you could find some kind of ‘labour exchange’? Where your hubby (or you, depending on the chore) swap tasks- eg someone does an hour of gardening in exchange for an hour of cleaning/bookkeeping or whatever expertise you have? Maybe find someone on a local facebook group?
I’ve long thought we should go back to a system of bartering for small jobs! 

Good luck Lamewolf, I hope you find someone to help!

That is one regret I don't have. I've done a lot of travelling in my life, for pleasure and work and crave time at home now. I would be delighted never have to pack another suitcase again.
