power socket extensions

[blighter]

hi all

i have a bit of a situation where about 16 devices in my room are connected to extension leads that are coming from one power socket in the wall by my door.

i'm looking into wiring another socket up on the other side of my room... i'm 16 and don't have much experience (well... no experience) in this and was wondering if i should do it, and if so, how?

thanks

i have:
TV
Xbox
All-In-One printer
Ipod Charger/speaker system
PC Speakers
Monitor
PC
Hub
2 x Laptops
Mobile phone charger
video player
freeview box
dvd player
5.1 speaker system
lava lamp
CCTV camera

i was told that it is fairly simple to do but i didnt know the laws and chance of living

Cant you charge your mobile from USB? which would get rid of one, and bin that lava lamp, getting rid of two

i would, but i don't have a USB lead (Nokia 6230 - can only find data cables ) and the lamp makes my room look pretty lol

i didn't want to hire electrician because they cost to much

thanks for all the advice though guys

if you don't get an electrician to do it you run into 2 problems

firstly your insurance could be void in the event of a fire

secondly, the new regulations intend that you have to have an electrical check when selling a house and any non compliant installations have to be brought up to standard

alright then, cheers, guess i'm gonna be using my extension leads for a while
