Like a fool I took the old switch off before checking where the wires went.
I have a two way switch for the landing. One switch is for the bathroom that has a seperate connection(live, neutral).That can be wired up fine and works!
The other switch is for the landing light but there is a live and neutral(red and black(the red is live)) and two reds from a seperate wire. How would I connect these up?
I have an idea but dont want to kill myself.
Please help.

You are unlikely to have a neutral, it is more likely to be switched live.

The two reds are possibly from the other 2way switch downstairs where they could be connected to L1 and L2.
If this is the case then connect them to the same upstairs

P.S. A picture says a thousand words.
 
if you look at the referance part of the electrical forum up top of page there are some handly little pictures that shows you how to wire your two way switch

all else fails call a sparky
