lol no probs yeah undo the sump plug then all the oil will drain off. Next remove the oil filter.
 When you replace the oil filter you need to put some oil around the rubber seal on the new filter. Do it up hand tight.

Replace the sump plug.  (get a new one only £1.20 from vw)

Refill with a good oil like castrol magnatec

I bought some wynn's engine flush too do i need a new sump plug? ive noticed that i can put a socket to the oil filter which will help to take it off.

You dont have to fit a new sump plug but you should.

I wouldnt use engine flush, just my opinion tho.

You can buy a tool to remove the oil filter about £5 .

Can you just put a socket to the end of the oil filter? looks like a socket would fit but could be wrong
