DIY courses for women

• Wire a plug and simple light fitting (the course will clear up any confusion regarding new legislation on what you can and can't do in your own home. It is legal, for example, to replace a light fitting but not to install circuits, sockets or wiring in kitchens and bathrooms).
• Use a variety of tools
• Select drill bits and screwdriver heads
• Put up curtains, blinds and shelves
• Saw wood, metal and plastic
• Remove a radiator
• Repair holes in walls, sand and prepare to decorate
• Tackle basic painting and decorating jobs.

Home Maintenance courses are held on the last weekend of every month. They'll even organise accommodation and local pickups for you. It's a great girly weekend, but with benefits that last longer than a manicure.
