Got to put all the skirting I didn't really need to take off back now.

And fill in the hole I chased out for the unused double plug socket in the wall.

Complete amateur, just been trying wire up this absolute cluster ****. Failed in the end, too much wire in too little space.

I've not achieved much in the end, will end up reverting to an extension cable under the bed to ny side.

Which I said I'd do in the first place, but she said it would be neater with an additional socket instead! I should just listen to myself and ignore her, always.

As a trained sparks, that’s probably the worst socket I’ve seen and illegal!
The maximum number of cables in a socket should be three, which is the ring main and an allowable spur?
