I speak from much experience. However, frustration levels will require more than 5 bottles of beer. Granted, you feel a bit guilty when you sell your flat unless you utlise the classic gag of saying that you'll leave them the mirror as it doesn't go in your new place. If you can get them to give you a few quid for it, that makes it even better. If you can get the damn thing up it doesn’t matter how many random holes you have drilled, they’re all behind the mirror.

It requires drilling with various wrong sized bits, messing up the wall, heading to the DIY shop for appropriate masonry filler, heading back again for the right sized bit, consuming at least 5 bottles of lager, then leaving the mess undone for at least 3 months while you get on with better things. Its what being a real man is all about. Not that I have done this of course. Angry, this is known as a good manly challenge.

I've now done up and re sold 4 houses and my Black & Deckers and long gone, I'm a DeWalt man through & though... Just another helpful hint.... To stop you drilling in to the wall too far get some electrical tap and put the rawl plug up to the drill bit and put a strip of the electrical tape at the top of the bit where the rawl plug comes up to... Mind you - it'd be quicker to come round there and do it for you, but a man has to learn :-) Next time I'll tray and think of something witty and humerous to say such as 'fuck that, get your mrs to put up the damn mirror if she wants it so badly' Thank you for your kind words – I went through the DIY phase and bought all my Black & Decker power tools.

Look everyone, a sensible and helpful post. Please all try to be more like AFC 30K. Oli - My new drill is extremely powerful. Trying that could bring the house down, literally. Dr J - "No More Nails" I am liking the sound of this very much indeed. Can you get a power-tool-like applicator? For those all important duels.

There is a conspiracy here. The bits they sell you with the drill are guaranteed not to fit any commercially available plugs. It's to get you to buy the super expensive plugs with the right sized drill bit included in the pack. But that bit won't fit the chuck on the drill. Do like our girly Deputy Practice Manager and stick things to the wall with "No-More-Nails". Course you'll never be able to get them off the wall again, and they'll probably go up squiffy. Just call the decor "post-modern" and no one will know the difference. (Oh and watch out the the big DIY Hombre in the black hard hat who's a'lookin' t'call yer out pardner.)
