You should be able to use any text editor to edit the xml.

See the documentation here: http://opendatakit.org/help/form-design/
to understand the structure of the XML document, and, in particular, the 3 
parts of the form definition, the instance, bindings and body parts.

The snippet of XML that you are trying to insert needs to be slightly adjusted 
to fit into the form definition in your Energy 2050 - Survey.xml.

In that form definition, the top-level element in your <instance> is <data>. In 
contrast, in the snippet, the top-level element is <widget>. So the steps are:

(1) insert <my_image/> somewhere underneath: 
<model>
  <instance>
    <data>

(2) add the <bind> statement, but this needs to be modified so that it has the 
same path within the above <instance> section as wherever you placed the 
<my_image/> element.  Assuming that you placed it directly under <data> and not 
nested within any grouping terms, the change is to revise the <bind> statement 
to refer to /data/my_image, rather than /widgets/my_image:

    <bind nodeset="/data/my_image" type="binary"/>

(3) add the <upload> prompt description at the appropriate point in your 
survey. If this fails validate, you may need to change the ref attribute to a 
full path to my_image. In this case, /data/my_image. I.e.,:

<upload ref="/data/my_image" ...

but I think it will work as-is (and supply the /data automatically).

Thank you so much for the help, 

I added the snippet in as instructed and Validate is given no errors, but when 
i try and download the form to my phone i get an error 
Energy 2050 - Survey (ID:Energy-2050-Survey) - XML Syntax Error at Line: 1, 
Column: 2!
Any reason for me getting this, i have attached the new xml with form added.

When you added the <upload, you entered:

<upload ref="/my_image" ...

With the nesting of the signature image, this should have been:

<upload ref="/data/signature/my_image" ...

I'll keep this open as it is curious that Validate did not encounter this 
problem and report it.

ok i managed to get it all sorted, the next and final question is, can you set 
the ODK on your own server so the data can go there and not to the Google one 
so you dont need to worry about the billing stuff and space?

Cheers

Yes, you can install ODK onto your own server. See
