Teenagers Birthday. Help!!!

My daughter will be 14 in a couple of weeks and is asserting her god given right to be totally bloody difficult. She refuses to give me any idea of what she whants for her birthday and says she's too old to celebrate birthdays anyway. I realise this is a teenager thing but I'd like to make some effort as my kids are the only family I have. So, she reads a lot, likes Dr Who and torchwood and does tai kwan do but she has books about those things already. Can anybody give me some inspiration please (not the rebreather, I've already got one)?

P.S. no pervy answers. I still have a shotgun license.

if she's too grown up for birthday parties, take her out for a meal in an adult style, minus the stupidity and drinking of course.

Send her paintballing - my daughter and her friends absolutely love it

Plus I get to have fun too

Don't make the mistake I have though - I seem to have agreed to her having a party this Saturday night

She will be 16 next week

Lets hope I still have a house Sunday morning LOL
