Great, thank you.
Feeling vaguely confident that I can get a dummies guide to soldering and not set fire to my house.
@spotter approve?

No, just cut off the EU plug and put a UK one on the cable - no soldering needed.
Could even get one of these if you want to make it easier

It's in a plastic box, so unless there's a ground contact on the PCB (which there won't be if it was designed for a 2 prong plug), there's no need to connect an earth.
If it came with a UK plug it'd be one of those with a plastic earth prong.
