A set of marker pens and some plain white labels. Wrap the label round the cable and colour it accordingly. HTH

OR write on the label, indicating where it should be plugged in. Also label your plugs.

Afternoon all . So so tired today. Had to take a taxi to Warwick and back from Coventry in the middle of the night. My 86 year old , who lives in sheltered accommodation, had a fall .Luckily a quick trip to hospital for an X-ray and she was send home this morning. Driven over to see her this morning , she’s ok but a bit shaken up. I was going to have a little cycle this afternoon , think I might have a little nap instead

Number the leads and sockets, making a list of what goes where, then put the list up "safe".

Lol. I like my Samsung tv in the livingroom. Everything plugs into one controller box and only 1 very slim cable then runs up to the tv. Nice and neat.
