What would you do?

Mine would be assembling Ikea furniture, either in store or in peoples houses.

I love building it, it's very therapeutic.

I'd love to design playpark/soft play equipment. I daydream about it whenever I am with the dc at the playpark/soft play.

I'd love to create Lego sets and Playmobil sets.

Orchestral musician or film composer

Run an American road trip travel company, planning people's road trips, spending a couple months a year testing out routes etc. If I win the lottery that's what I will do! I follow a company on insta that do just that and I'm sooo jealous!

I'd be a very successful children's book author and illustrator.

Cleaning Blush
I was a cleaner for a few years actually, I really enjoyed it. I love making things clean again.

Prop. Do you need a reasonably attractive tastefully dressed young woman who speaks little and moves even less to create the right atmosphere at your social gathering? I’m yer gal!

Cat fosterer or 5* hotel tester

MrsJoshNavidi · 19/09/2019 22:28

Also travel related. Perhaps escorting people on trips.
Or maybe a knitting shop.

Wrapping presents

MrsJoshNavidi · 19/09/2019 22:29

Or perhaps I'd open my own orphanage. A nice one do we have these any more?

Screen writer for horror films and comedy shows.

There are present wrapping services! Fancy earning a little extra before Christmas?!

JoxerGoesToStuttgart · 19/09/2019 22:33

House renovator/redesigner type person. I work in lots of houses (and browse property pal constantly) and spend far too much time thinking about how I would make the layout work better. I love a good floorplan Grin

@pimbee what's that insta account...? Our dreams sound similar!

Symptomless · 19/09/2019 22:38

I'd be a writer in one of those run-of-the-mill, average sitcoms. Part of a team, coming up with non-offensive jokes all day. What's not to love.
