Q:Cross stud is in the wrong place so can't fix to that. The cabinet is large and the ceiling is sloping (attic) so I'm restricted in where it can go. I can see a cross stud but it's not wide enough - when I marked the screw holes the screwdriver went straight through and didn't touch anything.

You local DIY shop will stock plasterboard plugs, same as a rawl plug but designed for plaster board. There are two types, firstly plastic ones with two hooks the spread behind the plasterboard. Secondly threaded aluminium ones that you screw in to the wall with a Phillips screwdriver. I would recommend the aluminium ones as a bathroom cabinet can be heavy when full. I have used these plugs to put up kitchen wall units without any issues :-)

Q:I really want to put a flat LCD tv onto my plasterboard wall and was wondering how much weight they can usually take. I did want to hang about a 32 inch which would be about 25kg...

That will be a VERY expensive mistake. Drywall itself will not support the weight of a flat panel. Find a stud, and mount your bracket to it. An alternative would be to mount a piece of 3/4 plywood between 2 studs, securely fastening to both, then attaching your bracket to that. Hope this helps.
