Blame the decor on the Mrs lol

Apologies for the delay getting back to you on this. Been a busy couple of weeks. Got the sitting room  finished thanks to your electrical advice. Wired up a 3 way junction box to a triple socket, and the original on/off switch for the fire. Everything is running great! Couple of pics showing...
