I processed my own slides when I was in my early teens and it honestly wasn't that hard. As I recall, I just sat all the chemicals in a water bath (washing up bowl) and kept a beady eye on the thermometer. Add a splash from the kettle if it dropped too low. I never had a messed up roll and the slides look the same today as they did when they came out of the tank. I haven't used the firstcall chemicals, but I've heard good things about them, and they are meant to be simpler than the old style E6. I'd say, definitely give it a go. Nothing better than developing yourself (especially positive film as it's so immediate).
This afternoon I developed my first film for 30 years. I shot a roll of T Max 100 on my Dad's old Fed 4 and processed it in Ilfosol 3. The first B&W film I've ever shot, first B&W film I've ever processed and the most fun I've had in years! It was magical seeing the images come out of the tank
