Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

    My go-to is lego. We have a pile of lego (I bought about 9kg off trademe), so any lego anyone buys isn’t going to greatly increase storage requirements. The kids can have a set they play with and when they get bored the set will get tipped into the main pile. You can get $10 sets of lego and $1,000 sets of lego so there is one for any budget (unfortunately no one has gone with the Millennium Falcon option yet).

    And the best thing about lego is I know it will still be getting used in 5 years time.

    Unfortunately for extended relatives they tend to just buy stuff and not ask, but since we have immediate family under control I think we don’t do too badly in terms of not filling the house with crap. There’s only a small handful of inconsistent extended relatives that buy for the kids.

    We also have some other kids to give hand-me-down toys to so have a path to get them out of the house too.
