How many blokes at Haynes does it take to change a light bulb? None. The girls have beaten them to it. They’ve also fixed the leaky tap, put up the shelves, tiled the kitchen and insulated the loft. Presented in a contemporary, fashionable style (not too much pink, but certainly a bit) and written in a chatty, approachable way , the Women's DIY Manual will give all the girls the information they need for general household DIY. In true Haynes style, there is clear step-by-step photography and easy-to-follow instructions, with difficulty ratings for each project.

Kerrie Hanafin ran 'A Woman's Touch', a building company employing 20 staff, 17 of whom were women. She made the decision to start the business after one particularly shoddy tiling company had visited her home. She won the NatWest Businesswoman of the Year Award in 2006, and the BT Female Entrepreneur of the Year Award in 2007. She divides her time between homes in Hampshire and Spain.
