Completely not photography related. I'm quite unhappy with myself at this moment. I was all excited to paint my bedroom last night so decided to slap on a quick first coat ... and to my shock and horror this morning (as the paint came off with the tape on the trim) I've put latex over oil. Do I have ANY other option(s) than sanding it all down and redoing it? ANY option at all? Work with me here people!

Unfortunately you'll have to get everything that's loose off the wall.
Once the wall is prepped for repainting I would suggest using a primer (probably oil based - your paint store would be able to help you here) and then use a latex as a final coat.
Websites for paint companies may have some info that would help.

Talk to your local paint store. There are new latex based primers that can be used over oil, but you're gonna have to get all that latex paint off first. Try peeling it, or using a wide putty knife or drywall knife to scrape it. Good Luck!
