So you've left home and you are living your new independent life but then you need to switch on the washing machine or change a tyre and no one has ever shown you how. Bare Necessities is the invaluable book for big kids of all ages. Guiding you through everything from how to write a cheque, to filling out tax returns, and from boiling an egg to contacting the gas company when the egg fails to boil - it is essential reading for all adult-novices. It is broken down into sections according to lie skills and these include: food, health, housekeeping, car survival, banking, starting work and property. No longer will you have to phone your friends to ask how to do things or sit through lectures on how to change a plug. You now have it all at your fingertips.
