What's the secret? DIY help needed!

[Admiral Huddy]

I'm totally useless when it comes to hanging picture hooks:

*tap* *tap* *tap* *CRACK!* *BANG* *OUCH* ***** *** ** ****y nail ** ******* $%&^*()&**&%@@@@!


Bent pins, fallen plaster, big holes and even a fallen picture once.

Teresa has to leave the room before I start laughing her nuts off (she has big nuts)

We have just had our living room replastered and decorated and I had 6 pictures to hang. I put it off all weekend then at 2pm yesterday I took a deep breath, swallowed hard and went in.

I got 2 out of 6. 2 of which are hanging in there but by the time the child minded kids have gone home, I know the whole wall will be down!!

No one else seems to have these problems.. Why do I? What am I doing wrong. My kids are starting to take the piss now.
