        That's what I have at the moment, but I need a backup drive and desk light still to go in there too. Printer is going to be moved to the other end of the room, as it's networked and there is a network socket down there. I just haven't had time to move it yet...

        And I think there's another socket under the desk that I can use with another 8 way.

          I thought about something similar - I like electrics.

          I tried doing my own plumbing once - never again!

            but I was put off when I was running in a new socket in the bedroom.
            The brother-in-law who is trained suggested that we work "live" so that we could charge the drill and he could also what the qualifying for the grand prix.
            Then he was feeding a cable through, and he said "can you see it...".
            I saw a cable waggle and grabbed it, but this was the live cable and "BANG"

              I grabbed it with my right hand, and I had charring on my left wrist.
              Straight across my heart it went... I was really lucky.
