Any tips on wiring 3x 2.5mm cpc's into a 13a socket?

Every time i go to do this, even with correctly fitting sleeving, it seems to be a right **********")£"$$* of a job getting all three in snugly without the sleeving riding up and making it difficult to tell whether i clamped on sleeving or copper.

Any tips for not fighting with this? It just took me like 10 minutes to put the cpc's away in a socket with a spur coming off it because i couldn't be 100% i'd got all three in correctly.

Computers and stuff.

Lol you're not using them?

I will eventually. Have to remember I have them at the same time as needing them - not easy.

Bleeding hell i didn't think IT would be that IT lol. Didn't think it could be that obvious and thought there was some obscure electrical terminology i was missing out on

A bit of everything, but most domestic work is after hours.
