I have realised that I'm not a handyman...

...and neither are you. This is important to remember, if you wish to save your strength and emotional resources for the real challenges of modern life. Modern life has seen fit to confound us with dating and e-mail etiquette and Eminem, but it does offer slight compensations. One of these compensations is that there are people you can pay to come round and fix things. Make use of these people. Unless you live in a little house on the prairie, there is, in my opinion, no need to be a handyman...
It is acceptable to change your own light bulbs, but you are advised to stop short of any act of home repair that requires tools not provided on a Swiss Army Knife. Feel free to open a can of beans or clip your fingernails or remove small stones from the hooves of horses, but do not get any ideas above your station...
When your cistern breaks or your pipes become blocked, do not be fooled into believing that a real man fixes his own plumbing...Before you plumb, ask yourself: "Am I a plumber?" If you have to ask this then I can already assume the answer to be no...
Besides, do you think plumbers do their own plumbing? They do not I tell you. Plumbers make so much money they can afford to hire their own plumbers...
