We are tiling a kitchen wall with mosaic tiles and are having great trouble keeping them straight as they slide gradually down the wall. Any tips

Start from a batten or the worktop and work upwards, the mesh or paper should keep then evenly spaced.

What adhesive are you using, you need a high grab adhesive as the glass mosaic does not absorb water very quickly, something like BAL mosaic fix is good. Also use a small notch trowel, 3mm max.
