Just removed the tiles from the walls in a bathroom. Dont want to fully tile all 4 walls now so hope to get the room plastered over. Is there any worry with plastering over the tile adhesive remnants on the wall or have i got to spend hours and hours chipping it all off?

Ta in advance.

you dont have to spend hours chipping it off, for best reults steam it off using a wallpaper stripper it comes off really easy i done this to my own bathroom it only took about 20 mins to do 2 walls
 
Or,, if it's soundly fixed to the wall,, pva over it, give it a tight coat or two of bonding, let it set, then 2 coats of multi finish.
