NorfolkAYA Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 Hi all, Following on from my 9-5 rut topic, does anyone run a successful sideline which allows them to spend less time at work and more with the family? My only hobbies are shooting and golf, so can't really make money doing hobbies. What do people do? ATB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were doing that, you wouldn’t need to do it as a sideline. You could make your normal jobs salary in a few weeks. 2 hours ago, old'un said: Not far from me a council owned small holding was rented by a car dealer, he lived there for 10 years, when he left and the council workmen came to-do some work on the barns they found a cannabis factory, apparently he had been running it for at least 6 years, the Police are looking for him. He just upped and left and left it all behind to be found by the coppers? Maybe he’s already in the ground? Brown bread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After following the threads on here, yours included, there are definitely some talented folk on here. Having a tinker round with a few things of my own this year I can appreciate what goes into some of the things that are made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
