And the job is done!!!

The socket by my wife’s desk (with the flowery wallpaper) was the one on the ring, so I just used a three core Wago and a length of 2.5mm T+E to extend the wires.

The socket by my desk (painted wall) has only one set of wires in it. Given what I know about my house wiring that’s the first one on the radial connected to MCB #1.

Used the socket tester to test it and got 2 greens and a steady tone, so all good!!!
