To ask what you're building tonight...

[cheesenpickles]

And a guesstimate of how many swears and how many missing pieces there will be?

We've got to try and get a Barbie Dreamhouse Down from our loft room at some point. Won't be building it this year thankfully. Just the box and will build it in dd's room on the day.

@posthistoricmonsters Sounds like a stress remix of the 12 days of Christmas

Two doll bunk beds what was I thinking? and two dolls prams but they are double buggy ones can see me being up until 4am....

I’m not building anything either. Mine are a bit older and interested in things that cost as fortune but come in tiny boxes mostly. No assembly required.

Nothing!!!

Will never forget having to put the sodding ballapalooza up for dd’s first Christmas.

4.5 hours and hell of a lot of swearing later we finally managed to finish it.

Dd nearly didn’t get a present that year

2x Ikea desk chairs.

Sitting here with STBXH waiting for it to be quiet upstairs so we can get started. I have a mountain of presents to wrap, and I’m so tired. Time for a large methinks! Merry Christmas everyone

None 😁 I just have to adjust the seat on an electric scooter but it'll probably involve some swearing about losing the tools lol

Nothing this year, but weirdly miss not having to build something.

Oh this thread takes me back!

DD is 23 now but from years ago I can remember late night sweary assembly of an easel, a Princess dressing table and a garage (consecutive years not all at the same time, we were not that indulgent)

By the time we got to the Playmobil Fairy Tale castle we had learned our lesson so we built it two weeks before Christmas and hid it in the garage. Building that was genuinely a joy.

I also remember the year we got her Lego Hogwarts but she was older then so there was no attempt to build it before. However much of Christmas day involved helping her to build it herself.

@WhoTookTheChristmasCookie

Fiiiiive squares by fiiiiiiiive......
Four-by-four kal-lax
Three ceiling-lights
Two I-ke-a beds
And a big uuuu-nit for the teeee-veeeee......

@posthistoricmonsters

Hmm.

Twelve Drona in-serts
Eleven plates are missing
Ten shelves for drilling
Nine cardboard boxes
Eight curtain railings
Seven screws left over
Six hours of screaming

(we've just moved house)

A bloody great dolls house, which we have virtually no furniture for because I forgot to order it, so even built it's going to look a bit shit sparse.
And dh is ill. And I may already have sunk a few free gins after work on an empty stomach.
Lucky dh has no voice, I can see us not being on speaking terms come bed time

Nothing although we built a Playmobil Amphitheatre in early December. We now build before we wrap.

A Lego trainset. I am not building that fucker in the morning while trying to enjoy myself and not burn shit.
Also, I’ll have a playmobil zoo To build and can’t cope with any more small pieces!

Didn't realise this was a thing! Always do it on the day with little people running about but this seems much more sensible and much more exciting seeing it fully built (even though boxes are easier to wrap 😂)

Just a scooter, not sure how much building required.

I still remember the little tikes car, DH was working and I had to build with an 8 week old who was trying to cluster feed. Good luck to those building it tonight.

IKEA kitchen, though did most of it last night and just had to put 2 sections together and add a couple of doors. minimal swearing and only kicking myself that all the kitchen bits are at home (at in laws for Xmas day)

A kidkraft kitchen here!!
Just waiting for dd to be asleep and we shall start...

A dolls cot. Already built while we tag teamed getting the toddler to sleep. Which she still isn’t.

WHY? GO TO BED!

Family members did Playmobil Hawks Castle while we were putting the kids to bed. Amazon reviews say it takes 4 hours but it took about 0.5hours 😄

We have the playmobil prison, but we're building it tomorrow, never realised people put things together ahead of time.

We had a toy kitchen last year, DP had fun .

I did the Ikea kitchen earlier. Having done a fucker of a George at Asda kitchen last week, my hopes weren’t high but the Ikea one is a whole other kettle of fish! Soooo easy!

The bloody prison says it'll take 90 minutes to build .

Resentment.
