I am wiring a new lighting circuit in my home it will be powered from an existing lighting circuit. Now here comes my anxiety attack!
twin and earth to the first 1.5mm switch then 3 core and earth to the second (switch feed and two strappers).

Now where do i wire the nuetral to should i use a connecter block in the second light switch.

i.e. I know how the strappers and cpc all go together its just the Nuetral I'm having problems. or do I just leave the nuetral at the 3 plate?

Does that make sense??

Thank in Advance

a light switch has no neutrals. its live and switched live.

see for reference for wiring diagrams
 
So I should just terminate the nuetral at the 3 plate from the existing lighting circuit?
