tell her you are prepping them as you are going to decorate them for her and when would she like to go and choose paint/new doors etc
then hope she believes you Nonny mouse and Proud!!

Admit you made a mistake whilst trying to be helpful and doing some cleaning. If she can't understand that then she clearly never makes mistakes herself.I have a gift for enraging people, but if I ever bore you it'll be with a knife

Do you mean the freezer doors?
If the freezer doors, just be honest. I would probably cry laughing if my DH did this, and no I wouldn't have known not to use the cillit bang stuff either.'If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need' Marcus Tullius Cicero0 -
Well, if you are asking how to get the paint back on I expect you already know the answer.0

If that means you have more time could you buy some paint stripper and/or sand the damage off. Use soap/water or sugar soap to clean it down then chuck a cot of appliance paint on.
Buy some of the magnetic photo paper and print lots of nice photos of the two of you and cover up the worst of it?'If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need' Marcus Tullius Cicero0 -
