Lots of people perpetually restating that the OP messed up isn’t going to help him much though.
I’m sure lots of us could list various mistakes over the years (the time I managed to do a global IR of a wylex board with the fuses still out still haunts me - that was the start of 3 days of pain!)
Anyway subject to the state of the loft it’s not normally too difficult to solve this problem for upstairs lights as a 4mm earth can be provided from another circuit, or the lights fairly easily rewired. Changing to quinetic switching can make things easier.
Downstairs lights are harder and the quickest method I’ve found is usually to provide a new circuit via a large box with quinetic controllers in.
