Is it possible to test your own DNA?

Paul Anderson asked the Naked Scientists:
Dear Chris,
A few years ago you did a session where some English school children did DNA experiments. I cannot remember the full details but I think they had a DNA kit of some sort. Are they available in hobby stores in London or were they specially made up at the time?
My youngest son Aonghas is currently working for Vodafone International in Newbury and he is coming back to NZ for his school mate's wedding in about a week's time, and I thought he might be able to get me such a kit so I could play around with it and see if I can make sense of my DNA. With all the work that was done on the human genome project, I am a bit skeptical that I might be able to determine anything without an elaborate medical lab.
What do you think?
