    Red rawl plugs. Get a screw, screw it in about half way and give a little pull with a pliers. You want it in enough to grab the plug, but not enough to spread the bits at the back which will stop it from coming out.

    yes, that above

    Then a bit of filler and light sanding

    If they are tricky to pull out I'd pull them out a little way - 1-2mm - cut off whats sticking out then push the rest of the plug into the void.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    +1 on the above, if they are not coming out easily you can just push them all the way in (assuming they are not into brick/block) If they are then, as above, snip off what you can before pushing back in, but really they should pop straight out with a pliers.
