Calling on that hunky neighbour to help you change a plug may have been what your mother did, but hey girls - times have changed! Nowadays you're far more likely to impress if you know your toggle fixings from your bradawl, your cross-head screwdriver from your Allen key and your drill bit from your hacksaw. And if you can paper round a light socket, hang a door, assemble a flat-pack and knock up a set of shelves in a couple of hours, then who knows? Maybe you don't need that man at all. What you do need though is this brilliant little book. Packed full of handy tips, useful facts and the quickest of quick fixes, it will be your guide to every home improvement job, big or small, that you're likely to want to tackle. Follow its practical advice, delve into its words of wisdom and before very long, you'll be the neighbourhood queen of DIY.
