Sally Hope even met her boyfriend through her love for the building-block toys.
A mum who has spent thousands on Lego and who built a dedicated room in her house says she doesn't care if others find her hobby weird.
She told Manchester Evening News: “My eldest child was obsessed with Lego but I was never allowed to help. She built it all herself and I guess I was being busy with little babies and then babies when she was that age. I didn’t really get into it with her. Sally, who now lives in Lancaster, spent years trying to save for the Tower Bridge set but could “never justify the cost”. But each time she saved enough, the mum was hit by unexpected bills including washing machine faults and a broken-down car.

“He invited me to his house to play Lego. I quite fancied him, but because I had a boyfriend at the time, I took my friend with me to make it clear it wasn’t a date. “He tracked it down and bought it for me. It came without the box so he made one – even drawing all the pictures that were on the original box. It’s one of the most romantic presents I’ve ever had.”She said: “If I’m building a set, I love just following the instructions because it’s relaxing. It’s not difficult, so it isn’t taxing or tiring. But it requires enough concentration that I have to switch off from any life stresses.
