I'm planning to change the light fitting for the ceiling light in my daughters room.

I've bought a standard plastic rose and came to take the old light off thinking it would be a nice simple process. However it seems the existing mains wires are really short to the point they won't fit.

Whats the best way to extend this? And where can i buy mains cable in short lengths?

I suppose the main question is this something that i can safely do myself?

There is also no existing earth cable. Am i also correct in thinking that with it being a plastic rose an earth connection isn't required?
