slightly odd surprise birthday presents

[Billing]

It's my mum's birthday on saturday and she's gone to up north for 3 days, so as a surpride for when she gets home I'm painting all of her downstairs rooms

I'm about halfway through the living room, and starting to think it was actually a crap idea and she'll most likely moan but i don't care, its the thought that counts

Anyone had or given any odd surprise birthday presents?

I got a Jack Russell for my birthday last year....
Not really that odd but it was a nice surprise

On my Mum's birthday last year, my Dad had asked her what she wanted. In typical fashion, she replied 'Oh, nothing much, don't make a big fuss'.
My Dad got her nothing. Absolutely nothing. Not even a card.
He couldn't quite work out why she was so pissed off with him.

I think if I was to paint the rooms a different colour my mum would be pissed!

Dangerous territory there mate. If your old budge is anything like mine then she will go beserk!!

Nice idea, but when the colours that match everything else suddenly don't match anymore... Ooooh bad times.

I generally give presents that the receiver has at some point mentioned they'd quite like, or talked about in conversation...usually little but meaningful gifts...things that mean a lot to them. Rarely unusual though.

our house was last painted 7 years ago when I brought the ceiling down (stood on the drain hole in the shower by accident, which overfilled it and it leaked and turned the ceiling to mush ) and we had the living room repainted in some shade of yellow, but it has slowly been bleached and is now almost brown =/ I've gone for a really bright yellow, really lightened the room up lol

the kitchen is magnolia, but some of the lining paper was ripped off by our old parrot, so I'm changing it to pale biscuit

I think I might be moving away for a few days just in case she doesn't like it most of the way round, but still need to do a second coat, so might go out and get a roller (currently on a 100mm brush)

pics up soon, just want to finish the last 1 1/4 wall

You're painting with a brush!?


I would've got a roller. You ca get that and a tray for about 5 quid... And it makes the job so much easier. I painted my kitchen and bedroom

I asked for a crowbar for my birthday in a few weeks.

Not really a surprise but it is quite odd.
