# I know.
it is between very and fiddly depending on your skill and tools.

# i'd say it was quite easy
i've doen it before using a bank card to push the wires home.

it's easy as long as you have the wires in the right place, much like wireing a network parch panel or a network socket.

I've never tried the bank card approach but it does not hurt to go and buy a Krone IDC tool from Maplins or online.

# I need to move the master socket from my kitchen to the living room
or failing that just put two extensions in the living room

# easiest way would be to move the box.
just get a junction box ( or even some connector block ). Take off the master, extend the cable using the connector ( straight through ) and pop the box back on at the other end. ( i'd suggest you get an IDC tool, it makes it so much easier )
extensions can be easier and quicker but they are more costly and can get unsightly. Plus the more sockets you have the more phones you are tempted use and when you consider your line is most likely rated REM 3 ( which means 3 phones only or 2 phones and ADSL ) then you might degrade your line by loading it too much ( usually means the broadband disconnects when the phone rings )
