Mr Cake has just taken delivery of an item of flatpack furniture.

He is now trying to assemble aforementioned item by following the instructions.....

It can only end in disaster.....

My daughter loves assembling flatpack furniture, I have to stop her stalking people in Ikea...............

[emmie]

don;t ever do it, i think flatpack furniture is the work of the devil, and always ends in tears, backache, smacked fingers and a lot of swear words.

[gness]

He's following the instructions? A man is following instructions!!!!!! :-0

[snags]

They'll be a vital missing screw...

[EcclesCake]

Exactly Gness.......

I anticipate my vocabulary expanding before the day is out........

[Prudie]

and he'll still be doing it tomorrow

very theraputic flat pack! better than jigsaws any day

[giveup]

We had a wardrobe once,had'nt checked what was there and there was a side missing which no-one had noticed until we started to put it together.

[ummmm]

My ex is a chippy. I was always amazed at the speed he could put flat packs together.

[murraymints]

I am fandabidosi at it...IKEA my specialty..

[needawin]

Easy peasy. But read the instructions TWICE!

[emmie]

i hate flatpack furniture and will never, ever buy another thing that i can't put together, that is missing bits, usually the screws that you need to stop it falling into a heap. Or chipped wood, and a box so big it would take all the efforts of Father Christmas to get rid of

... and make sure he has the necessary tools BEFORE he starts :-)

[EcclesCake]

Boxtops.....stop talking sense.......it's all part of the fun...... f*** where's the spanner, f*** where's the screwdriver, f*** where's the allen key.......

[emmie]

you mean where have my fecking thumbs gone.

[boxtops]

LOL, especially if you kneel on the screws too, and wreck your kneecap, that's always a good diversion :-)

[snags]

This'll be about right:

You're right EM10, a family of four could live quite comfortably in the box!
