Making a will is painless. I've never had any dealings with cheapo will writing services, so can't comment on them.
So, go to a solicitor and get it done. One thing to look out for is Blairs reforms of probate. It can now take a long time. So, if you have a wife and kids ask the solicitor about lasting powers of attorney which means that they can operate your bank ac. etc after your death and before probate. Important if, say, you have a pension, life assurance or a mortgage in you sole name.

30 years I've lived a solitary existence and not once in that time have I cooked anything inside of an oven.

I don't know how cars work. I'm 45 this year and I haven't got the first clue. A lot of people my age will have had dads who were forever tinkering with their rustbuckets in the 80s and could have learned from them, indeed a few people I know did just that but I never had a dad and never saw the appeal in cars when I was young so now I'm completely oblivious as to what's under a car bonnet. Shame on me!

I got my driving license when I was 41. I am 43 now and I used it maybe 20 times in last 2 years and once in last 18 months. Completely don't give a fuck about driving. Wife is good driver though, I just sit and enjoy.

Anyone who can read can set up power of attorney for themselves.
Download the forms.
Fill them in.
Pay the fee.
Easy.

my 3 kids will have power of attorney over me and my wife financially and health wise when the time comes. Paperwork all done.

also we got mirror wills done through my union solicitors for peanuts.

I am copying and pasting this post into the 'Things That Annoy You' thread. Likeness ? Likefuckingness, are you my now dead dad ?

He used to get his camera out and say 'I'll just take your likeness'

I can see staying in is slowly getting to you. :)

I have never worked out how to use the timer functions on my oven.
