Buy a helping hand. Not expensive and very useful. Also use decent flux, even if you're using flux core solder. Don't use lead free solder.

Also heat the wire from underneath and melt the solder in from the top so it soaks through and penetrates the wires rather than being a surface "cold" solder which will fail and break eventually.

I really enjoy soldering. Strange I know.
