Don't fart about with resin in your lounge.
Simply drill all the way through the wall, stick a long bolt through with a nut and washer on the other end.
Them beauties are going nowhere!

That's the sort of thing to do when these things are staying there for decades. Resin is stupidly hard. I thought Bozza was moving back to Brighton?
Uh oh. I think I'd go for some shield anchors - http://www.screwfix.com/c/screws-nails-fixings/bolt-type-shield-anchor/cat840436
So Bozza, weren't you supposed to be moving?

Get rid of the books and get yourself a Kindle
no need for shelves and would save the hassle of putting them back up

I recently put up two sets of shelves in both of the childrens bedrooms. I was well impressed how well it went. Couple of hours for each set.
I found it handy doing it on my own with no female grief ache.
Could I suggest you remove all females from the house before you commence the task. I reckon that's the only DIY lesson I have learned over the years.
Other than to get a man to do a proper job

I was just about to suggest that Bozza bought a Kindle from Amazon of course. Wel done Pork Dog, you beat me to it.
Bozza, I assume you have to re-fix all the shelves now, so fix two vertical 2x1 prepared battens to the wall, these will cover your old plug holes so need to redecorate.
Then screw the brackets to the timber battens.
Sorted.

Ooh your first mistake, B&Q Extra. What is that. Worthing barely has a B&Q. An extra, can only mean extra grief. Ask one of the old staff for help, it will save you hours of upping and downing and looking stupid in front of proper workmen.

I'm sorry but if you had asked me what "anchor resin" was and where would you find it this morning I would have said it's a sex lubricant, try Ann Summers.
