I don't know if anyone can help me with this unless someone in here lives just round the corner and is feeling charitable.
I just bought a roller blind from Dunelm Mill in the sale, but when I tried to put it up, I drilled holes for the brackets (the drill only went in so far - I think it hit brick), inserted the rawlplugs and then tried to screw the screws, I saw a spreading hole appear in the crumbly Victorian plaster.
The screws wouldn't hold and fell out, plaster fell off the walls, spoiling the decor, and now I just don't know what to do. ( I don't even have any of the original paint to cover up any repairs. )
I am a total ignoramus when it comes to anything like this, and I'm not young, so I'm feeling really depressed.
What should have been a five-minute job with a pleasant, satisfying outcome has snowballed into a horrible, fearful experience.
Can anyone help me at all?
