Exiting times...I am looking to purchase my first ever power tool!

I am thinking of replacing all the doors on my kitchen units. This will
mean drilling and fitting a lot of door handles (the exisiting units
open using an edge flange).

Can anyone recommend an el cheapo mains-powered drill from one of the
sheds. Suitable for light home DIY use, just wood drilling and the
occasional wall plug into breezeblock.

Just got a Worx 710W corded drill from Homebase reduced to £14.99. Can't
fault it at the price, however for driving screws into kitchen cabinets
essential to have torque control, not normally available on corded drills.
Normal advice is to get a corded drill first but consider a cordless drill
driver. A good cheap cordless, 14.4V say, will do all your kitchen cabinet
work, less or no good into masonry. Suggest you go for two quick charge
batteries as this is the weakest part of any cheapo. I'm sure I have seen a
Bosch corded/cordless combo on offer in B&Q recently. Ideal for someone
purchasing their first power tools.
