Can anyone help me to identify this plant and tell me how to prune it?

It's starting to get a little bit out of control!

    It's Winter Jasmine (jasminium nudiflorum) image  It takes well to being given a good sort out from time to time so you've no worries  - wait until it's finished flowering and follow instructions here http://apps.rhs.org.uk/advicesearch/Profile.aspx?pid=291 you'll need to scroll down a bit. 

    The picture on the site is of the summer flowering type so it's a bit misleading, but if you scroll down you'll find what you need.

    Brilliant!

    Thank you Dove.  Looks like I can prune shortly too which is great timing.
