I've cut MDF with a jigsaw for speakers before. It scared me (not literally) but I'm trying to keep these looking neat as possible as the side of this is right in a doorway. (I could make a mess of it then just put a plant in front I suppose)

No need for a jigsaw. A sharp disposable saw from b&q will make the cuts you need chipboard in about 6 strokes of a saw.
Don't replicate the curve which is unlikely to match your skirting anyway. Just make a neat right angled cutout.
Edit: a steel rule taped or clamped down as a guide will help keep the cut straight if you don't care about using the saw more than a couple of times, Poundland usually have them.

If you can wait until next week I can trim them for you with my jigsaw.

£8 for whatever saw you can find and cut it in at right angles. Would take about 5 seconds. If chipping is a concern use a Stanley blade to score the line you want to cut to. Once it's in you will never look at it.
