That's quite the rollercoaster. I'm not going to give in, I just need to give myself a start and see where it goes. I dont strive for riches, just to pay the bills and less stress.

Your’e too old to learn a manual trade from scratch and expect to develop a business and live off it.
get a little van and do some jobs you feel comfy with in the spring and summer on weekends and evenings, painting , gardening, sexual services if you like.
if it don’t work sell the van and try for a delivery job with tesco.
Someone has to be frank, hi i’m frank.

Wise words! i think giving myself 5 years should be long enough to see if something is going to work without throwing away a monthly salary.

Don't change your job. Add something to it, how is your manager? Helpful or useless?

Thanks for being frank, Frank. Valid points
I know someone that jacked his job in and bought a paper shop. It folded.
Seriously though, best advice I can give you is keep to what you know but work for yourself, not somebody else.

He's pretty ok, I keep him sweet with little things like this for his wife which keeps her happy which in turn keeps him happy and my life easier:
I have no intention of quitting, but hopefully find a supplement, and if that tums into more then it cant be a bad thing

Unless the job IS the negative aspect of his life. Then he is wise to weigh his options. Your statement is too sweeping.

Haha in IT? Sure you get more money, but you also get the blame for everything and are usually treated like sh*te. You can also expect significant downtime periodically

The last time I flipped my desk upside down in the office ( I really did do this), I ended up driving a big lorry with lots of wheels to fulfill one of my boyhood ambitions.
Not something I'd recommend if you have any other unfulfilled ambitions, but thoroughly satisfying (at least for me) anyways.
Best £2k I ever spent. It led me to many other things that I am probably more suited too.

One of the big dreams of the idiots, is to re-invent themselve's in a different location.
It doesn't work, it never has & it never will. If your life is ****, it is not because of the job or the location. It is because YOU are ****.

its a good job i dont have any feelings
Sorry but to an extent I completely disagree with this. Okay some might call it a cliche, however I believe there is validity in thinking about the work/life balance. Most of us spend a lot of our time 'at work' whatever form that takes, so if it no longer fulfils us and we have an opportunity to change that course (which many people don't for numerous reasons) then I'd say go for it, albeit cautiously, and as the OP states if it ends up becoming more than a sideline then great, if not the 9-5 is still there to pay the bills.
So I'd assert reinvention is possible, it's just that we have change conditioned out of us as we go through life. Someone's life might indeed be sh1t purely because of what they do for a living.
Unless you are Jim Zockoll of course. Go on then, Google away......
