How do you sell upcycled furniture? (PartOne)

Over the last year I have been trying to fix my sofa that I brought from a local charity shop about 5 years ago.

But how do I do this and do it right?

So I will look into this and try to break it down

Where should we go on holiday this year? Should we take the kids? Should we kennel the dog? Should we get some to house sit?

Over the last almost two years the world that we once knew is no more.

Ever since I was young I have wanted to be self-employed and run my own business I am now almost 40 and I should may be look at making a B-movie or sitcom of how many times I have failed.

Also I know is that I can not take one more shitty course on how to become self employed where some mild-aged person stands in front of a slid show.
