I would say slowly slowly, just put a bit of filler in at a time and build it up

How thick is the wall? Is it literally 12mm (ish) plasterboard?

Your probably going to have to fill bit by bit, ie fill some, let it dry then fill next bit.

Now if you'd just pushed them in a bit... ;-)

Just interior filler..... easy, mix the powder with water to form a paste and get it into the hole and build it up!

How about this then.......remove skirting boards.........then carefully remove plasterboard.....maybe you'll need a detector to find all the screws.........then fix batons using no nails on the internal face of the plaster where the offending holes are.....then refit board and skirting........and you will now have six blind holes that will be easy to fill !! Hope this helps !

Where do you live gooner ? maybee you could come and fix it for me lol .....iam a female who is struggling to fill the holes i don't think my D.I.Y skills would stretch as far as your suggestion but thanks sounds great in theory :T
