Think again. Former city journalist Simon Morgan saw a gap in the market after his girlfriend waited three months for her wardrobe to be fitted. He set up a company, Him'll Fix It, which specialises in the small jobs that everyone loves to hate.

Him'll Fix It will do everything from hanging pictures to tile repairs to the impossible swapping over of appliances, as well as more challenging electrical and plumbing work, all at a fraction of the costs of old-fashioned handymen.

What's better, the hunks from Him'll Fix it will arrive on motorbikes - wielding manly toolkits - ensuring that your neighbours will be all-a-twitter, mistaking the repair man for your new bit of rough.

Now, if only Him'll Fix It would handle other... um... service calls, girls would never have to pretend to be interested in football again.
