Keep Chest with arms Stu but do chest first.

The arms are quite a small muscle so you only really need two or three exercises for biceps and triceps each. Obviously doing them hard!

With Chest training your triceps get a good workout from all the pressing so when I do tri's after chest I usually do heavy pushdowns and maybe dips and that will be it.

If you do Dumbbell flyes you will also use your Bi's a bit so again they won't need much more after doing chest..

As you progress to heavier dumbbells you may need to have someone actually pass them too you. I have always managed to flick them from off the foor, but I would be mindful of your back when doing this. On my really heavy sets I will get someone to at least pass up one dumbbell and also help me lift both to the top of the movement to get me started.

What exactly do you mean by these Stu?
Side extensions, (8KG)2 sets of 8 - .sounds like the shoulder one i've described below?
Unsure of names of other two. Like a simple bar bell press but with dumbells, 18KG each hand. .Sounds like dumbbell press which I've put in your chest routine.
