Wall’s load capacity
Hi, I am planning to put a shelf on the wall that when loaded will be around 30-35 kg. The wall it is not a load bearing wall, it is an internal wall that separate my linkingroom and a storage space . The thickness of the wall is around 4 inches/10cm thick, and it is not timber or plaster board, when I drillled it had a layer of fine orange layer and a grey thicker layer. I live in an ex council house east London, if that helps. Do you think that it could bear that kind of weight? The shelves would be around 45 cm deep and 100 cm long. Thank you very much in advance.
Order pick up
If a person is self-isolating, can they have another person pick up a click and collect order from a store? Does it depend on the store? It’d just be good to know as I may need to self-isolate in the coming days and I’ve ordered a few things recently. Thanks.

Tv mount on plasterboard
I have a 55inch TV that I want to mount on to the wall. The wall is plaster board and there’s one wooden beam going straight down the centre. We want to put it on this wall as the rooms an awkward shape and there’s not really any other options. Would this be okay? We have the wall plugs that the mounts come with and some reinforced ones we brought. Will the wall hold the Tv? Or will it cause damage to the wall and risk it coming down
