OK, I’m no great boat designer or builder, but when the Good Ship Iggle Piggle set sail across our living room floor do you think anybody cared??

I had just opened a flatpack box from Ikea and was trying to follow the instructions to build a double chest of drawers and all these bits of cardboard, polystyrene and synthetic sheeting fell out (along with approximately 4000 screws of varying shapes and sizes, dowels, plugs and bits of mdf).

The chest of drawers took about one hour and so did the boat. And I know which one Monty thinks was worth building.

The Iggle Piggle boat is now harboured in our living room and has already made several voyages around various (dry) parts of the house, avoiding near shipwreck several times.

The things we do….

After that, Daddy needed a jolly good nap nap.
