Drill in small area?

Hi guys
Sorry if this sounds like a thick question. Am attaching a skirting board in our bathroom and the last screw hole needs to be between the toilet and wall.
The gap isn't big enough to get my conventional sized drill in there.
Can anyone suggest what I can use instead? - are there small drills etc that will do the job?
Thanks

Tap a hole in the board and use a screwdriver.
Or do it the easy way 'no more nails'

Or cheepest use no nails and wedge the skirting tight with something agaist the toilet.0 -
Do what MX5huggy says. There is always more than one way to skin a cat.( or to do a job) No Nails will hold it quite well enough.I can afford anything that I want.
Just so long as I don't want much.0 -
A longer bit perhaps? so the drill is the other side of the toilet?
But the easy option would be an adhesive, as mentioned, wedge it in place against the toilet overnight.0 -
I've used one of these with some success in the past:

Obviously it might still be too big to fit into the gap though...5 year BOE + 2.49% capped tracker (cap 5.99%)
