Yeah, the reasonably simple stuff.
I don't have decent garage space, so there's no point investing in the requisite tools for the larger jobs. I'm of the opinion that if you're going to use something every day, you really ought to know how to maintain it.

You're lucky.
What MB said below.

I can barely wire a plug. I changed a full light fitting a couple of weekends back and fitted a new shade and whatnot. I did it but it took me look 2.5 hours. I was telling my mate when he came round about it. He laughed his arse off when I told him about it, reckons it should have taken me 20 minutes.

Better safe than sorry
It took me ages to change the lights in our house too. Electricity is like magic string for me. I understand the concept but I'm sure there are pixies involved

It's just practice, really.
If you pay attention to what you're taking apart, there's no reason why it shouldn't be just as simple to put it back together again.

Last time I wired a light fitting
I electrocuted myself pretty badly.
