Which fairy would you like to help you?

Having found myself being the empty toilet roll fairy...yet again....my mind wandered to what sort of fairy I'd like to help me. I quickly thought of and discarded a washing up fairy, a toilet cleaning fairy and a bed changing fairy. Without a doubt I would like an ironing fairy. Wouldn't it be lovely to put the clean washing in a basket and the next morning wake up to find it neatly ironed and hanging on coat hangers ready to be just put away. I'd like the clothes to be in the wardrobe but I don't want to ask too much of my fairy.

I could really do with a 'driving fairy' please - I am losing confidence rapidly......

She was a very elderly fairy with experience.
Her magic still works though.

That was a useful fairy, indeed, Jalima.

I need a legal fairy to tell me how to help the lady who owns her own flat, but can't afford the (ever-increasing) service and maintenance charges on her fixed income and may lose the home she OWNS!!!
There are some lovely flats around suitable for older people with lovely grounds maintained by gardeners etc - but a kind fairy warned us of the high service and maintenance charges and how they increase exponentially over the years.
A warning to us all.

Sorry, but some of you are being greedy. Fairies have rights and their work conditions are covered (rightly) by a load of conditions. Your fairy can do the ironing or massage your poor feet but she’s not going to work miracles.
I need my fairy to wipe my eyes and fill the dog-shaped hole in my life.

Right now I'd like a fairy that could provide secure tenancies for all the homeless and vulnerably housed people I'm working with. I need a legal fairy to tell me how to help the lady who owns her own flat, but can't afford the (ever-increasing) service and maintenance charges on her fixed income and may lose the home she OWNS!!! angry
Sorry to introduce a serious note into a light-hearted discussion, but honestly there are days when I just don't feel I can keep up with staying one step ahead of my poor, poor clients who only want to feel secure in a home of their own. Today is one of those days. sad

I'd like a nanny fairy to watch over my 2GDs, so that nothing bad ever happens to them and they are always happy.

Definitely a chef ?‍♀️

Jalima1108 Mon 05-Mar-18 15:24:48

I'll organise the paperwork in exchange for someone cleaning my oven

I have an ironing fairy but I don't think he'd be too pleased if I called him that grin

An oven cleaning fairy
A fairy who will wave her magic wand and organise all the junk in this house and attic into boxes which she will dispose of in various ways: auction, charity, tip.

A fairy that enjoys planting tubs, pots and hanging baskets would be handy.I still do it all ( and far too many) but end up with an aching back.

hildajenniJ Mon 05-Mar-18 12:18:53

The "change a king size duvet cover " fairy would do me nicely. I almost have to clamber inside with the duvet to put on the new cover!

Greyduster Mon 05-Mar-18 12:06:28

A parking fairy!! blush

Nonnie Mon 05-Mar-18 11:55:28

Lazi and Vampire I'll do that ironing for nothing as long as there is something good on the radio. I quite like ironing!

Henetha I'll organise your paperwork, I've often thought there must be a good business opportunity doing that. I like having mine all up to date and organised and I'm a spreadsheet queen!

Can I have one who will not only make my house look incredibly inviting to prospective purchasers but also guide said purchaser to our door? I have decluttered to a huge extent and DH says too much. I just don't have the interior decorator's eye.

Auntieflo Mon 05-Mar-18 11:54:44

We need the boiler innards fairy at the moment. Please.

NonnaW Mon 05-Mar-18 11:49:17

A general housework fairy please. If she has any spare time (smile) maybe she could do something with the dogs to occupy their brains and help to wear them out!

Oldwoman70 Mon 05-Mar-18 11:07:53

Squiffy when the de-clutter fairy has finished at yours can you send her/him over to me.

Cherrytree59 Mon 05-Mar-18 11:05:35

Yep same here this morning Vq.
One of my first threads, if not the first thread on GN was about the 'toilet roll fairy' that resides at Chez Cherry and still does even after DH retired.
Bless hersmile.

henetha Mon 05-Mar-18 10:40:57

I'd like a secretarial-assistant fairy. My paperwork is in a mess despite all my efforts.

DanniRae Mon 05-Mar-18 10:39:16

Oh, can I have a fairy that does all the things already mentioned? And maybe go to things I am invited to but really can't be bothered with 'cos that would be great!! grin

Squiffy Mon 05-Mar-18 10:33:18

Definitely the De-clutter Fairy for me, please! blush

pensionpat Mon 05-Mar-18 10:12:03

The National Elf?

Mamissimo Mon 05-Mar-18 09:52:20

I’d like the Health Elf to swing by....

Greyduster Mon 05-Mar-18 09:45:26

A ‘stop your husband grumping about brexit’ fairy would do very nicely. If there isn’t one of those, I’ll have the one Teetime has!

ninathenana Mon 05-Mar-18 09:41:18

I was going to post along those lines Teetime
