ive took a feed to the switch at the first switch are two other lighting circuits and the 2 way. the other two lighting circuits i have no trouble with, just the two way.from the switch where the feed is i then took a 3 core over to the second switch and from the second switch took a switch line up to the downlighters. also at the second switch i wanted to borrow the feed from the 2 way and take it up to another set of down lighters. can someone confirm what cables go in what terminals at the first and second switches. just so i no im doing it right. thanks
 
Did i miss something ? I thought this was to control one set of lights not a circuit of lights.
It's a 2 way light with neutral at the switch, the switched live comes from the second switch (permanent feed to the first) then the OP wants to take a feed from the second switch to control an additional cct.

... Unless I've got lost somewhere.
 
I'm assuming that as you are extending a circuit (in some way), you will be testing it and filling out a minor works certificate?
I'm also assuming that you are qualified in some way, therefore a "competent person" and you just want help clearing up a circuit design you haven't used for a while?
If not, then please get a qualified electrician, as I am tired of getting called to DIY jobs which are left in a potentially lethal condition. It is easy to see why we ended up getting stuck with the part P fiasco....
