Ahh thanks very much. Unfortunately I'd rather not go with him, because he seems to have got a lot of bad feedback.
Is this one any good? 152087304998 (£6.99 for 25 metres), although according to most ebay listings, the delivery could take a week or more to arrive.

? One ? We do the alarm at webro ! Lol
So it's no good?
White 0.182mm 8 Core 4 Pair Round CCA PVC Intruder Alarm Cable
CCA = copper covered aluminium, not the best option for reliable connections
Oic. I've checked quite a few sites now and most are either cca or copper. Now I know sparky is trying to save me money, which is much appreciated, however I want to order everything by today, so I don't mind paying extra and getting a full reel as I know I can always use it at a later stage again.
Can you please tell which ebay item number is suitable or what website I can buy it from?

You need to buy copper.
Avoid Ebay as you have no garantee about the quality of the items on sale. The "copper" cables on E-bay can be made from impure copper ( worse than CCA ) and the cores may vary in diameter with weak spots

Excellent, thanks bernard. Below is the full shopping list, bringing the cost to just under £400...other than 6mm cable clips, is there anything I've missed or you think I'll require?
Unswitched fuse spur for the alarm panel , just a word of warning you can't take the mains supply through the panel , no room ! it's go to enter top left of the panel ....
Where do I get an unswitched fuse spur from?
