Default Exactly how easy is it to do an oil change?

So I have been waiting patiently all winter for my OH to help me do an oil and oil filter change on my bike, but so far I have been unsuccessful. Getting to the stage now where I am thinking I should just get on with it on my own.

But I am rubbish with all things practical! So I wanted your opinions on how easy it is for a complete numpty to do.

I did an oil & filter change on my old Kwak GPZ, but that was with OH's step by step instructions and a Haynes manual. I won't have either of those this time! And even then I struggled to get the right tools each time - I don't know a socket from a spanner! (It is all very well the Haynes manual saying remove that but it doesn't tell you how! Or where in OH's toolkit I would find the appropriate tool!)

What do you reckon, is it dead obvious and something I can do? Or am I likely to mess something up if I try? Do I need to invest in a Haynes manual? Or do I just nag OH?
