Any ideas on ways of saving electricity and I dont mean by turning everything of all the time!

Erikmark what I meant to explain was that I would like to connect a couple of double sockets up In my loft and maybe a couple of cieling lights to. I have been looking at the ring mains diagrams on the web and wondered if it would be possible to source the current from a socket in one of my bedrooms...

I want to extend my upstairs ring main, Is it ok to come of one of the sockets in my bedroom and extend a spur directly above into the loft then across until I am above the next bedroom socket and push the cable back down, wiring into that socket therefore extending the ringmain?

Can I come of the upstairs sockets ringmain and spur a couple of sockets in the loft? . Would I need to fuse the extra sockets? Plus I want to put lights up there to so any ideas would be very much appreciated

Thanks for the reply regarding my ques about taking a feed of the immersion heater into the loft. The sockets to be installed in the loft are to feed a computer/printer and eventually a train set. I guessed that drawing a feed from the immersion wouldn't be the correct thing to do.
