I do Gardening and general property Maintenance .. .I got into it after a bad lorry accident 35 yrs ago ..now I've just had 5 days in Hospital with more knee issues (3rd time) I was 58 on Monday and if this injury doesn't heal to give me enough movement to kneel and work in comfort that is it .. I'm selling the house ... and have plans to fish and travel more .. most would say I am semi retired anyway .. a few years before i'd intended but sod it i'm genuinely sick of working in pain and can be comfortable enough without working ... sorry to waffle the medications fault not mine ;-)

wallpaper hanger, been doing for 35 odd years now,
last 13/14 years, mainly digital wallpaper, or as some say, wall murals,
as i do the installs for the company that , wel invented digital wallpaper as they own the Trademark,
so thankfully, i really enjoy my work, and look forward to the jobs, i travel all over the country,
and work is, from turning rooms into forest, to commissioned artwork,
probably just just about every image to can think off,
including a wallpaper image of a rather beautiful large breasted woman modeling the wonder bar in the women's bra changing room at debenhams in blackpool after a new fit out lol 😂
so at my age and time in life, i count myself very lucky that i love my job

I've seen a lot of those in London, usually the forest types
My favourite one, the image was Covent garden at Christmas, with members of the family playing hide and seek, looked amazing
I do quite a few glass splashbacks and bathrooms with photos on, I managed to talk one client in to having a shot of gigi hadid as the splashback, her laying down in underwear but his parents were footing the bill and overruled him

Self employed Heating Engineer. Despite how I appear on here, I'm actually a people person, so this job suits me down to the ground, meet new people everyday, and not having a boss is a definite advantage.

I've also recently started a little hobby bait business. I've been making bait on and off for over twenty years, very early days but everyone that's seen my early samples has given me positive feedback. So fingers crossed. My current stuff I've been playing with for about three years and I'm finally happy with it.

Now look what you've done 😃

I will definitely get a few samples together for forum members.

Very early days yet and I don't pay for advertising on here so I'm not gonna take the piss and plug on here.
