Power Overload?

Anne3333

Gosh, didn't realise my question would cause people to overheat, just wanted to check that my socket wouldn't!
Having read all the above replies, can I take it that it is safe to do?
Can I reiterate, it is ONE single socket, from which I am already using an extension lead with 6 terminals. The items plugged in are those 5 that I have mentioned in my opening post and I have one remaining terminal as yet unused. I wish to add another computer and monitor but was thinking of using an adapter to change the final socket into two, so that both can be plugged in together into that final socket on the extension lead. As I stated, it is a fused extension lead and I do always turn the power off on leaving the house and when going to bed.
If there is any doubt, I won't do it, however the alternative is to have trailing leads from another socket across the room, which in itself is probably unwise.
I am not technical, so basic answers would be most helpful and thank you to all who have taken the trouble to respond.

of course you can plug this 2 way into the 6 way as long as each item's plug has the correct fuse, and its only feeding indoor equipment, and fairly short run....2 or 3 metres max..... or one of those Microsoft 3kW washing machines version 2.1
