Forward planning Bob, do your first DIY job so badly they never ask again.
Mind you your first DIY job probably involved Daub and Wattle so that time has long gone!

Ask Jan if she's in favour of equality
Failing that just tell her that your a professional sportsman and it's beneath you (well it's above actually but you know what I mean!)

Get a painter in when Jan's on the golf course ?
Can't afford to get repetitive brush stroke injury, bearing in mind your profession. Fear of heights if you have high ceilings. Allergy to the paint if you don't.
Not that i am an expert on excuses not to do diy.

On the basis that Jan reads this forum, may not be a good idea looking for excuses on here.

You could get all dramatic and quote Michelangelo (you need to grow a beard first):
My beard turns up to heaven; my nape falls in,
Fixed on my spine: my breast-bone visibly
Grows like a harp: a rich embroidery
Bedews my face from brush-drops thick and thin.
My loins into my paunch like levers grind:
My buttock like a crupper bears my weight;
My feet unguided wander to and fro;
In front my skin grows loose and long; behind,
By bending it becomes more taut and strait;
Crosswise I strain me like a Syrian bow:
Whence false and quaint, I know
Must be the fruit of squinting brain and eye;
For ill can aim the gun that bends awry.
Come then, Giovanni, try
To succour my dead pictures and my fame;
Since foul I fare and painting is my shame.
That should work after a couple of glasses of home-made plok.

Ask her if she wants it "matt or gloss" that should take a day or two.

Re: Right guys, I need an excuse.......
last time it took that long to cover it all with newspaper it was time for bed and then work again.
came home and she had done it rather than wait for me.
ever tried to have your b/fast with paper covering the table and kettle.
you can always say you have run out of sticky tape!

Blinds are so 1970s
Still not convinced they came from Venice anyway

It's ok Bob, I'm not coming round 'till tomorrow night, and the smell of steak and chips will completely distract me.
10/10 for some of the excuses.

Nothing wrong with the 1970's. You were probably a young buck then, slim, full head of hair,desires to be Jack Nicklaus. Where did it all go wrong ?
