Just swapping some sockets upstairs for ones with usb chargers.  Flicked the fuse back on back and no power in the upstairs sockets or the kitchen ones which is confusing as the kitchen ones are on a separate fuse.  What have I missed, done wrong?

Do the 2 breakers for those circuits keep flipping?

Maybe you’ve touched an earth to a neutral somewhere

Sounds like you have tripped the RCD. If you have a split load consumer unit then multiple circuits will be on one RCD. Easy to trip it when changing sockets. Just push the button to reset

You're right, it was the earth wires. All working now.
